Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch We don’t ask nightclubs to serve orange squash to kids so they can have something to drink. We say no kids in nightclubs. Social media is exactly the same. Social media is not a safe for children. Extreme content is rife, and the safeguards the companies have put in place are complex and woefully ineffective. It’s time to make sure children are protected from adult spaces. The Government should focus on what matters, not banning companies they don’t like.

Augustin Delacroix @augustindelacroix.bsky.social • 11h Major parts of the UK have already fallen to radical Islam. Rather than abduct and indict their commie leader, we should let the remaining indigenous people of the UK come to the US as refugees. Perhaps they can help us colonize Greenland. Tommy Robi... @TRobinso... • 17h g .•. Yo, @realDonaldTrump, as you're doing the rounds removing dodgy communist dictators. I know of one who is allowing violent invaders to pour into the country's communities, who are killing, raping and pillaging. On top of that, he's making the people pay for it, and jailing people who speak out against the regimes' wrongdoings. This is where he hides under armed guard. Coordinates: 51°30'12" N, 0°07'39" W.

@EmmanuelMacron X.com France condemns the visa restriction measures taken by the United States against Thierry Breton and four other European figures. These measures amount to intimidation and coercion aimed at undermining European digital sovereignty. The European Union's digital regulations were adopted following a democratic and sovereign process by the European Parliament and the Council. They apply within Europe to ensure fair competition among platforms, without targeting any third country, and to ensure that what is illegal offline is also illegal online. The rules governing the European Union's digital space are not meant to be determined outside Europe.

From Percy Bysshe Shelleys ‘The Masque of Anarchy’.
Next came Fraud, and he had on, Like Eldon, an ermined gown; His big tears, for he wept well, Turned to mill-stones as they fell. V And the little children, who Round his feet played to and fro, Thinking every tear a gem, Had their brains knocked out by them. VI Clothed with the Bible, as with light, And the shadows of the night, Like Sidmouth, next, Hypocrisy On a crocodile rode by. VII And many more Destructions played In this ghastly masquerade, All disguised, even to the eyes, Like Bishops, lawyers, peers, or spies. VIII Last came Anarchy: he rode On a white horse, splashed with blood; He was pale even to the lips, Like Death in the Apocalypse. IX And he wore a kingly crown; And in his grasp a sceptre shone; On his brow this mark I saw – ‘I AM GOD, AND KING, AND LAW

Percy Bysshe Shelley‘s ‘The Masque of Anarchy’, from two centuries ago, speaks to me now about Trump.

The next Democratic president should remove all of those and just put a single sentence under this picture of Trump:
‘The only orange convicted felon to be US president’
A picture of Trump on the golf course, leaning on a club. He’s wearing a risible red hat with wisps of his thin white hair straggling out from the back and a white polo shirt from which his massive gut hangs over his black trousers.

Which is the BBC’s defence…
In its letter to Trump's legal team, the BBC sets out five main arguments for why it does not think it has a case to answer. First it says the BBC did not have the rights to, and did not, distribute the Panorama episode on its US channels. When the documentary was available on BBC Player, it was restricted to viewers in the UK. Secondly, it says the documentary did not cause Trump harm, as he was re-elected shortly after. Thirdly, it says the clip was not designed to mislead, but just to shorten a long speech, and that the edit was not done with malice. Fourthly, it says the clip was never meant to be considered in isolation. Rather, it was 12 seconds within an hour-long programme, which also contained lots of voices in support of Trump. Finally, an opinion on a matter of public concern and political speech is heavily protected under defamation laws in the US. A BBC insider said that internally, there is a strong belief in the case the corporation has put forward, and in its defence.

People on here saying that the BBC will cave to Trump.
The BBC already laid out its defence.
