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.

This is completely inexcusable. @rutgerbregman.com was invited by the BBC to give a speech for broadcast. He expressed a personal opinion (one with plenty of evidence and support!) about a very public figure and it was censored? It's heading to farcical Gerry Adams territory.
