Palantir Co-Founder Peter Thiel and Reform UK's Cambridge University Recruitment Pipeline Project Revealed
The world-renowned academic institution has nothing to say in response to a six-month investigation by Byline Times raising serious concerns about the safeguarding of students and foreign influence at Cambridge University. Why?

Lyra's legacy will be her words, a bursary scheme to help the disadvantaged seek a career in journalism and a renewed spirit driving a rejection of the pointless violence of vain men. The legacy of the New IRA and their PR boys will be murdering an Irish woman and covering for the murderer.

It's not unlike watching current coverage of net zero or the EU prior to 2016 or Boris Johnson's ascent to power or Liz Truss taking control of the Treasury or Donald Trump etc etc. The BBC should be a bulwark against obvious propaganda & demonstrable lies, not an 'impartial' chronicler of it...

DERRY! I'll be doing my first ever signing for PRESTIGE DRAMA in Little Acorns this Sunday 10th May at 3pm. Most sources agree that you should buy 4-5 copies of my excellent debut novel, and I'll sign every single one of them. Hell, I'll sign any other books you have on you. I'll sign your granny.
