We should never forget how the BBC has changed this country by giving endless airtime to Nigel Farage and other rightwing extremists, while shutting out progressive voices.
Nicolas Chinardet@zefrog.eu · 3d agoAnd why is #r4today giving (yet again) such prominence to a hair-brained scheme that has little chance to ever be implemented? A GE is unlikely soon and the threat of Reform winning it is apparently receding. What is the justification for legitimising it?
Remember that these scaremongering Reform folks are doubly untruthful: overlooking the huge numbers of immediate returns and falsely implying that the migrants can enter Schengen

V unlikely to be true].

The response from the BBC to our letter that they have been "highlighting the role of climate change in extreme weather" shows they have missed the point, deliberately or otherwise: it's their editorial line to omit the link between climate change and fossil fuel burning that's the issue.
Yet again tonight's BBC coverage of drought and fires fails to mention cause. News At Ten reporting by Justin Rowlatt omits to say the words "due to burning of fossil fuels". Continued refusal of BBC to call out cause of climate change is why we wrote to editors pressgazette.co.uk/news/climate...

The Daily Telegraph has raced through all five stages of climate denial this week. But this is, perhaps, the most ridiculous column so far: "Without minimising the severe downsides…especially on some poorer nations, many in Britain would enjoy the kind of warmer climate predicted by modellers..."
Much to unpack here, starting with Philp's assumptions that the French Navy: 1) Knew who he was 2) Knew what he was doing 3) Cared about what he was doing 4) Might think stopping what he was doing was worth causing a diplomatic crisis with one of France's closet allies. Truly remarkable self-regard
