who is davey? and i think even the dumbest american (outside of the president) would realise that this is definitely not existential to the BBC. It’s a fly to be swatted away

here’s a taster
December 16, 2025 at 10:19 PM
yip. and if you read what i suggest you do you will see just how ludicrous that is.

who said anything about being a barrister? But i suggest you follow @davidallengreen.bsky.social or @joshuarozenberg.bsky.social for enlightened views of British jurists as to this particular bit of trumpist rubbish.

Didnt say anything about being a US lawyer. And at least i have a name.

i love it when you lawsplain to a lawyer! Even better when you do it incorrectly. Of course they will file a defence. it will be short blunt and to the point and most likely seek the claim to be struck out. Existential it ain’t. Goodnight.

a threat to its existence. Which it clearly isn’t because a) it’s a nonsense suit and b) it’s unenforceable anyway (if trump can’t be made to pay his judgments do you really think a foreign broadcasting corporation can?)
December 16, 2025 at 8:47 PM
nothing. but it shows it’s not existential.
December 16, 2025 at 8:37 PM
beats me.
December 16, 2025 at 7:50 PM
it won’t/can’t
December 16, 2025 at 7:49 PM
did trump pay his $400m yet? No? Oh.
December 16, 2025 at 7:48 PM
absolutely. utterly ridiculous navel gazing piece
December 16, 2025 at 7:47 PM
i should also add that this will be going on all day saturday for between 20-25 saturdays of the year. That’s when the u14,16 and 18 CVL plays.

yip. two geographical extremities of the country
December 16, 2025 at 10:16 AM
yep. i was in that meeting with the BE ‘hierarchy’ too. the day after tosan was signed to a 10 day contract. Mind boggling cognitive dissonance.

The most damning thing though is the lack of any interest/support from national governing bodies in replicating this model nationwide. It constantly bemuses me
December 16, 2025 at 9:22 AM
i actually am. i had a small part in setting up the CVL after Covid and am delighted it has gone from strength to strength. We still need more courts, mind …..
December 16, 2025 at 9:21 AM
unfortunately it won’t ever get that far.
December 16, 2025 at 8:07 AM
lol
December 16, 2025 at 7:35 AM
