Well done Me Davey. I’m glad someone has the balls to stand up for the BBC.
In my opinion, an attack by foreign concerns on the BBC, is an attack on Britain and our values. No surrender 👏👏👏

Exactly. 007 is a code number and JB is his code name. It would explain all the previous reincarnations and would leave it open to be as creative as the producers like in choosing the title roll👍

It was a clumsy edit within a well balanced documentary. The bottom line is that Trump was indicted on four counts relating to his conduct in the 2020 elections, including the January 6th riots. He is not whiter than white in this and this edit possibly just confirms what we already know.

The edit is unfortunate, but by all accounts, the programme seems to have been well balanced. BBC should have stood their ground on this one.
The bottom line is Trump did encourage insurrection. We should never forget that.

The big problem is that they know they’re lying. They’re taking a leaf out of Joseph Goebbel’s book.
“If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it, and you will even come to believe it yourself.”
History repeating itself by those with no knowledge of history.

Classic tactics from these sort of people.
Ignore the problem but attempt to ridicule and denegrate the critics, hoping that people will be deflected in defending the critics and the original problem will be forgotten.
Don’t get dragged down the rabbit hole!

Housesteads and the site in nearby Corbridge ( my birthplace), were my first experiences as a very young five year old, to our Roman heritage.
Fond memories.

I’m afraid that on this side of the pond, most tend to dismiss everything Trump pontificates on as being the ramblings of an idiot.
However, those ramblings if promoted as “the truth “ can represent real danger to all.
