Surely Camilla's not critiquing this country's proud British Christian culture there in any way....? 😮 That's normally so unlike her...! 😂

A good piece. 'We have the ridiculous carnival of Donald Trump and Boris Johnson, of all people, admonishing the BBC for its lack of integrity. And they can get away with it, because no-one expects anything from them and yet we expect everything from the people and places who actually give a damn.'

I wish they could stop being referred to as the "Populist Right". It confers on them an appeal they really don't have. Bonkers Right would be a more apposite term. They deserve ridicule, not reveration.
