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.

New piece:

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...?
