That whole section of this morning's #r4today around Prof Arday felt like it was also being used as an excuse to attack progressive values in general. Despicable stuff from Stock and whichever identikit right wing presenter it was.

Nick Griffin on Question Time in 2009 was supposed to expose the BNP, but It increased their poll ratings. There is 15 years of evidence that mainstream platforms do not neutralise fascists. They validate them. The BBC knows this. They did it anyway. #r4today

Rupert Lowe: “Large parts of Britain are becoming unrecognisable compared to how they were 30 or 40 yrs ago.” In reality, many of those places were never exclusively English in the first place — and the idea of Britishness itself expanded significantly as a result of the British Empire. #r4today

#r4today Professor Arday has been hounded by a man called Nathan Cofnas, and I find it interesting how the media have not been reporting Mr. Cofnas' background. "Ghent University under fire for appointing US philosopher with ties to 'scientific racism'" www.brusselstimes.com/belgium/2007...

Well done to H A Hellyer on #r4today for calling out the BBC and it's presenters for reading out the IDF statement without context!! The world knows Israel is the occupying power and committing genocide. Their statements to justify what they are doing should not be acknowledged.
