Indeed. The BBC is in my view one of Britain‘s most important institutions. It is imperfect.
Everything is.
You destroy it at your peril.
If ever there was a time to rally around something very British, it is now.
Just an outsider‘s opinion.

So many social media patriots! Delighting in the hope that the president of a foreign nation might destroy a British institution that is envied around the world! 🇬🇧

The BBC can retrieve something from this mess (and show US broadcasters what a spine is) by sending Donald Trump a four letter response: “See you in court!” www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/media/...
The four-word message the BBC should send Trump about his $1bn lawsuit
The corporation must show it will not be cowed, unlike American broadcast media, and call the president’s bluff

This is a thing of beauty.
Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

The way he rubs his inhumanity in Americans” face never ceases to stun me.
He’s illegally refusing to pay food stamp benefits…
…while he throws a ridiculously over the top Gatsby party for his right wing millionaire and corporate friends.

The answer is “NO” and should have been in the title of this otherwise excellent @voxeurop.bsky.social article.
“given equivalent demographic and socio-economic characteristics, immigrants are no more likely than native-born people to commit a crime.”
“given equivalent demographic and socio-economic characteristics, immigrants are no more likely than native-born people to commit a crime.”
Migration and sexist or sexual violence: is there a correlation?
The argument that immigration has a negative impact on public safety has become a running theme in public debate, and it goes hand in hand with the old stereotype of violence against “our” women.
