I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

This BBC article gets right to the heart of my rants about modern media. The vast majority of big MAGA accounts were fake yet they’ve managed to find a handful of small Democrat fake accounts and given them equal merit. Fake Scot indie - yes. No mention of fake Reform or ‘English Patriot’ at all.

DOGE didn't achieve its stated objective, nor its actual objectives.
It has, however, according to The Lancet, set the stage to kill more people by 2030 than the Nazis did in the Holocaust, through USAID cuts alone.
"Bye bye"? We've barely begun to register its impact.

Bye bye, “DOGE”.
It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

So, the question is, did Trump know it was a Russian wishlist when he was pushing Ukraine to accept it by Thanksgiving? Or does he know absolutely nothing about anything going on in the entire administration and just spouts whatever nonsense people tell him?

The plan was leaked by the Russians and no one in America’s historically inept administration knew what anyone else was doing so people started getting behind it because they thought it was official policy.
Putin totally played the US, knowing full well he was up against incompetents and idiots.

The last few hours have proven 2 terrible things. First, the US and Russian governments are so close that the US government takes large parts of Russian proposals and passes them off as their own, and second that some people are so desperate to exonerate Trump that they act like this a good thing.
