A good example of subjective, bias media who claim they do #journalism but refuse to have an opinion which goes against #Trump and #Farage!

So The Sun editor said, "That's interesting about #Trump-#ReformParty plot v. #BBC...
But our audience are pro-Trump and pro-#Farage
I have a meeting. I'll call back in 30 minutes"
They never did.

So I reckon we will see perhaps today:
#Epstein emails Reference #Trump.
Trump PR team right now: “Quick - find a new country to blame, a random conspiracy to shout, and get a flag big enough to hide behind.”
Or: Trump’s responses
This is the greatest witch hunt in history.”
“Crooked windmills.”

Breaking News: House Democrats released emails in which Jeffrey Epstein alleged that Donald Trump knew of the convicted sex offender's conduct and “spent hours at my house” with a victim.
Epstein Alleged in Emails That Trump Knew of His Conduct
In a message obtained by Congress, the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein wrote that Donald J. Trump spent hours at his house with one of Mr. Epstein’s victims.

I find this issue spot on - only today I told someone we talk more on gepolitics but not about the racial incident close to home, poverty and cost of living.
I do sense sometimes we are led astray - but more needs to be done to change things on ground.

I was invited to speak at the EuroAsia Curry Awards on Monday night, it should have been an exciting opportunity. But on my way there, outside Earl’s Court station, I was subjected to an Islamophobic hate crime. I have now reported it to the police
