Donald Trump destroyed public service broadcasting in the US - it's little surprise Nigel Farage wants to do the same thing here.

How the government captured the BBC
A right-wing cabal, largely unaccountable, is waging war on the principles that made our public broadcaster great. It must not succeed

If I started a petition to Parliament requesting them to debate telling Donald Trump to go and do one, do you think I’d get 100k signatures? It’s tempting.

“There are some people who hate London, and hate New York,” Mayor Sadiq Khan told me, on Bloomberg TV. “There's a reason why they demonize London, and now, indeed, New York. Why? Because we are progressive cities. We are liberal cities. We are multicultural cities. And we are incredibly successful.”

This is quite clearly full fat racism and needs to be called out as such by all other political parties and all the media, starting with the BBC. nb the Tories will not call this out as they clearly agree with these abhorrent extremist views.

Yes indeed! Why aren’t Chris Mason and other so-called political journalists deluging Fartage with questions about his very obvious ties to the odious Russian regime?
Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.
Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.
Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

Why isn’t Kier Starmer making this speech? Why is it down to the LibDems to fight Fascist Farage and his goons alone?
As we've seen across history, the populist playbook used by Farage is ugly, powerful and incredibly destructive.
We know where it will lead if we don't stop it.

Imagine if people as articulate and intelligent as Alex were on TV making these points in roughly equal measure to those on the other side. Roughly equal. Nothing more than that.
I go. I try. And I will keep trying, even though it feels like a losing battle. Because I remember the whole point of the far-right astroturfing of social media is to make it feel like a losing battle, to make us give up.
Anyway, a few snippets on small boat crossings and immigration.

This is insane. No Labour government, however right wing it may be, should be shutting down freedom of speech in this way. This belittles and demeans terrorism legislation which is (rightly) designed to deal with threats to life.

Ed Davey: "BBC’s Farage obsession is a joke. Reform has 4 MPs, Lib Dems have 72 - yet get sidelined. This isn’t journalism, it’s free PR. If the Beeb’s chasing shock value over vote count, just admit it and drop the "balanced" act."
