An omission repeated by the BBC in its Radio 4 1800 news bulletin just now, which included remarks from Farage. In view of @rafaelbehr.bsky.social success with complaint on coverage of ICE, perhaps another complaint is warranted.
Also I don't see an acknowledgment that he got the basic facts on which he based his racist comments wrong
Jim Ratcliffe has issued a bland and generic statement about economic policy which does not engage at all with what he got wrong, or why saying the UK has been colonised has been legitimately criticised. Nor does he seem to retract his language of colonisation in gesturing towards a semi-apology
