This should be noted in any future discussions about the #BBC, and, shared as widely as possibly in any case.
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

When I was at school in the early 80s lots of kids were routinely and regularly antisemitic to me. Saying Hitler was right, pushing my face into gas taps in science lessons, pelting me with pennies. It was relentless and teachers often laughed with them.
There was always one leading it. A Farage.

U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

This Israeli dating ad uses two kids to make a joke out of rejecting a Yemenite boy. He shares his heritage, she shuts down instantly. It only works because #Racism between Jews is normalised. The ad was pulled, but the mindset runs deep. We need to confront it – to repair. #jewsky

A wealth tax is not enough.
Reform of property laws, yes.
But really we need real Regulation, especially on the City and Tech, and a new narrative to replace the 'Growth Agenda' to something more like Donut Economics
