Tho we are talking about it
NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."

BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

Trump’s Fury at BBC Gets Unnerving Results with Pro-MAGA Edit Stunner
First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

I gave a eulogy at a climbing buddies funeral. The first line read "Dave's first love was his wife and son, but he also had a passion for climbing". What I said in front of his wife, son and 200 friends and family was, "Dave's first love was climbing". It still keeps me awake.

I do think it’s a problem that adult children are factoring in their parents’ house as some kind of life plan.
I don't think this was actually deliberately published as ragebait, but the entitlement contained within is remarkable and a classic example of the sort of sentiment governments sometimes just have to face down inews.co.uk/inews-lifest...?
