Thank you to James O'Brien for having me on, one of the v few people in the UK press to follow this story during what is now a decade of media apathy &/or complicity

I’m so happy to see this. John Sweeney is one of our own. Like THE NERVE he’s an old Observer hand. Later at BBC he did everything, but in 2018, he found himself blocked from one particular subject…Russia & Brexit. Please give him a hand…Sweeney’s coming home 👏👏👏

Why on earth is this not being reported properly in the West ?

BREAKING: Protesters in Hungary have flooded the streets in open defiance of Viktor Orbán and his ally Vladimir Putin demanding an end to creeping authoritarianism. Mainstream media is barely touching it. Let’s make sure the world sees it.

There are those that want us to believe that the BBC is an untrustworthy news channel and that GB News is the trusted channel. They are very different. One gets things wrong from time to time, the other deliberately promotes a narrative with little consideration of fact.

The Russian Embassy is now echoing Farage and Trump’s talking points about the BBC. This isn’t coincidence 👉 it’s coordination. Undermine the one broadcaster still bound by impartiality, and Britain becomes a propaganda playground. Murdoch was first through the door when the

BijanOmrani The Telegraph We have to look at the schedules more broadly don’t we. I seem to recall that (eg) the black and white minstrels were still going (or nearly going) when Civ was broadcast. (And In our Time had not yet been invented!) Careful about the nostalgia for high culture tv of the past..

EXCLUSIVE: Memo that sparked BBC’s worst crisis in a decade wasn’t 'internal'. It was written by lobbyist at firm paid by pro-Trump tech giants - including Oracle, whose billionaire founder joined Trump aides to undermine the 2020 election - Byline Times bylinetimes.com/2025/11/11/bbc…

Oh look ! Turns out the author of the ‘BBC bias’ memo, appointed by Johnson & Gibb, is a right-wing lobbyist paid mega-bucks by US tech & media giants who not only donate millions to Trump but are also invested in expanding "the emerging pro-Trump media empire"👇 Byline Times

The people who think the BBC is too opinionated also think GB News is an actual news channel, it’s all very tiring.

This BBC story isn’t now about the editing of a Trump speech. It’s about private media giants trying to undermine a public broadcaster - to grab a bigger market share for themselves, boost their own profits, and reshape the media landscape to look ever more like Fox News.

Really important background to the crisis at the BBC:

The BBC’s silly and unnecessary editing mistake does not change the FACT that Trump encouraged and inspired the violence that led to death and devastation on Jan 6 after he LOST the election. That should be made clear in all communications to his Mafia style lawyers and to the

Donald Trump destroyed public service broadcasting in the US - it's little surprise Nigel Farage wants to do the same thing here. Trump’s America, don’t let it become Farage’s Britain.

I believe this is now essential

‘Like’ this post if you’d like a police investigation into links between Russia and the Reform Party can of worms. ‘Repost’ if you doubt that Nathan Gill is the only traitor in the Reform Party, given Farage’s admiration for Putin and his blaming of Ukraine for being invaded.
