The BBC's has responded in The Guardian that this was a routine editorial decision, but also that it was made on legal advice. Those two explanations don’t fit together. /1
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

Sen. Mark Kelly on Trump suggesting he be executed & Hegseth opening an investigation into him: We recited something in the Uniform Code of Military Justice, and he's going to prosecute me under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. It is so ridiculous, it's almost like you can't make this shit up.

In other words, everyone behaved in precisely the opposite way they’ve reacted to the fire that’s begun to consume the earth.” – @billmckibben.bsky.social

Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine.
If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences.
It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

6 people have died from a nationwide listeria outbreak.
31 babies have been hospitalized with botulism from contaminated baby formula.
Instead of firing crucial FDA employees & attacking the agency, Trump should be hiring more experts to crack down on these dangerous outbreaks.

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.
If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

A climate deal without explicit language calling for a fossil fuel phaseout is like a ceasefire without explicit language calling for a suspension of hostilities.
