Today’s Reith Lecture by Rutger Bregman edited by BBC leadership to appease Trump.

They deleted the line in which he describes Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.”

So when you listen, add that back in!

A Time of Monsters | Rutger Bregman's first Reith Lecture in his Moral Revolution series.

He explores the moral decay and un-seriousness of today's elites, drawing historical parallels to past eras of corruption that preceded transformative movements.

'Donald Trump is a hateful piece of shit' is an opinion. 'Donald Trump is the most openly corrupt American President' is a statement of observable fact. The BBC's censoring of Bregman's Reith Lecture is a concession to oligarchy's assault on the very notion of truth.

BBC removes description of Donald Trump as "the most openly corrupt president in American history" from the broadcast today of Rutger Bregman's Reith Lecture. I was among the several hundred people to hear the original at the lecture theatre
I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Trump probably is the most corrupt in US history but sadly the BBC has to protect us as licence payers. What a great lecture though - such a joy hearing someone speak the truth about the state of the US and calling for new moral leadership to combat it. 🤩

Not your level of education nor social status. Black women in the U.S have 4-5x higher maternal mortality compared to any other racial group. The systemic bias &racism baked into the system ensures that this dark trend continues. As health professionals we must continue to call this out & do better

This isn’t “efficiency” it’s an ideological shift towards a Little England university system.

Nottingham is set to become the only Russell Group university with no modern languages or music degrees.

48 courses on the line. We’re fighting it.
