@bbc5live.bsky.social Why are you ignoring the ongoing Israeli slaughter in Gaza and the West Bank? You give plenty of time to Russian attacks but are now totally ignoring the fact that Israel is continuing the genocide in a "ceasefire".

Do your jobs as journalists or be accused of racist bias.

There is a rise of bigotry and absolutely no change over the decades in elitism and the “old boys network” of privilege. Outstanding and moving. #HIV #AIDS #1980s #Almeida #londontheatre ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Look, we were right about Brexit, and we were right about Covid. Why is it so hard to believe we are right about immigration and asylum?

Here's the next test of the media: are you capable to making the proper connections between, Farage, UKIP, Reform UK and Nathan Gill's offences?

Or are you going to let Farage off the hook?

Incredible not just that this happened, but that it’s not even a second or third tier news story, let alone something Farage will actually be held accountable for. Doesn’t make the top 15 stories on either the BBC or the Guardian! Filed under “Wales”.

Where is the surprise about Farage’s past or current attitude to non-white people?

The BBC is the biggest thump of soft power the UK has and its reach and influence to the benefit of the country is extraordinary. Destroy it, hugely damage the UK. The same people who helped weaken us over Brexit are seeking to do it again.
Interesting to see so many great British patriots right now begging an American president to bankrupt one of Britain’s last remaining truly national institutions.

For Shabana Mahmood to attack some of the most cruelly treated people in the world as having won a "golden ticket" because they manage to get to and claim asylum in Britain is unforgiveable.

A new, far right, low for which I can think of no precedent, by any UK Government.
