That’s beautiful Squigg. I support the Vegan Land Movement who have been buying ex dairy land in the West Country for the same purpose, the number of species that have returned in a short time is so heartening. I think they’ve bought 7 parcels of land now.

Absolutely sick of this now. We have the govt and the bbc bending over backwards to appeal to reform voters. What about the rest of the population? - you know the other 75% or so who have said they wouldn’t vote for nasty Nigel and his mates

Haven’t willingly watched a BBC program for years. Won’t read their news. Even when I read it, I take it with way more buckets of salts than most other places.

Also, not a Reform voter. Their leader is racist and it’s largely people who should never be allowed to hold public office.

Regularly amazed & appalled the media bends over backwards to accommodate, platform & schmooze the party of a guy who’s pet project divided the country & hammered the economy, with 5 MPs of dubious merit (+morals) in WM. World’s worst case of the tail wagging the dog, aided & abetted by the media.

On complaining about the BBC's RW bias, I eventually received a response stating that the "impartial" national broadcaster now gears programming with Reform voters in mind. How Lisa Nandy is not acting is beyond belief. Is she even aware of what is going on?

'due to a belief'
So they admit BBC policy is a response to their beliefs.

My belief is that they are being economical with the truth.

Haha he should ask Black & Brown people.

In fact weren't there several Black & Brown women who left the BBC itself because they didn't trust its leadership?

Aye. It's a leaf oot of Belursconi's book when he bought up news oot lets and dumbed down the content. Funnily (not really) enough, he got the results he wanted. Reform wants the same & they have a Fox News equivalent supporting them, giving Nige another voice pumping oot Maga type propaganda

Oh

Why did Gibb & Shah draw up a plan for Reform voters when Reform is committed to taking away the license fee & severely restricting what it can report on πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ This doesn't smell right? Do Gibb & Shah want the BBC destroyed. No programs apart from News. No wildlife programs or educational ones.....

Currently Reform are a minority of 5 out of 650 with political influence. How does that justify broad significant changes to programming of BBC output based on how the public may vote in 3Β½ years time? Shah and Gibb have power over the BBC that is wholly out of proportion and heavily biased.

Space-based US solar firm sets record for beaming wireless electricity Star Catcher beat DARPA's existing record by beaming 1.1 kW of power at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

I remember learning about this tech in the 90s. Why has it taken this long? A lack of political will.

It's ironic that Reform's attempts to mute repeated and apparently credible claims of racism actually result in broader publication of the issue. Of course any court cases would likely mean the (alleged) racist statements made by named individuals being put into the public domain & on legal record πŸ˜‡
