I can’t get enough of #rutgerbregman ‘s first #reithlecture . His analysis of the decay of the West seems accurate to me, but what I really love is his optimism for a future built on a moral revolution. His proposition: just imagine what we could achieve if we self organise and work together on meaningful endeavours. I’m compelled to quote nearly everything he says…
Does the rest of the UK media care about the bigger picture of #Trump threatening to sue the #BBC ?
It’s got to the point now that the BBC lawyers are so twitchy they won’t even report on their own self censorship.
The star of this year’s Reith Lectures has been edited against his will about Trump’s open corruption…and now BBC journalists are banned from quoting him.

“If #BBC journalists are not allowed to mention a sentence in a story about censorship, then the problem is far bigger than one line in my lecture.
That is precisely the dynamic my first Reith lecture describes: institutions censoring themselves out of fear of those in power.
It’s essential that the British public learn who made this decision, when, and on what grounds. I was told the decision was made because of US lawyers. But lawyers don’t make decisions. Leaders do.”

‘Police arrested 13 people at a protest in #Norfolk on Saturday on suspicion of showing support for the proscribed group Palestine Action.
A group assembled outside City Hall in St Peters Street, #Norwich, holding placards referencing the organisation, Norfolk police said. The force said they were arrested on suspicion of displaying an item in support of a proscribed organisation, contrary to section 13 of the Terrorism Act 2000.’
Where will this end?
I was curious to see what #BBC Look East had reported on the protest…as their studios are literally within spitting distance of City Hall and the last arrest which I must have witnessed was outside the Forum where they are based.
They have literally just cobbled together press releases from Norfolk police the Met.
They felt no need to view this peaceful protest happening on their own doorstep with their own eyes…
Today, #r4Today platformed the detestable Robert Jenrick in whipping up hatred based on spurious stats which weren’t challenged.
As he is obsessed with the incidence of sexual offences he might like to look at Westminster, where it’s highest per 1,000 London people
Seriously, what’s the point of #Radio4Today They are #Quisling ‘client journalist’ purveyors of lies, half-truths, disinformation, misinformation & #CorporateState propaganda! I’ve tuned them out, switched them off! I’m done with their smug, entitled #WhitePrivilege #Zionist-aligned #EchoChamber!
Zarah Sultana, MP for 6 years has never been on.
Nigel Farage-Falange just elected absentee MP, has been on 38 times.
The #BBC of course is neutral and balanced.
Actually the BBC is a large cause of #POX's success.
(POX = Party of Xenophobes and Fascists).
