If you have a doubt the MAGA attack on the BBC is not co-ordinated, read what GB News owner told the US

"The BBC belongs to Britain."
"We cant allow the Trumpification of our politics and our media landscape."

Everything on our news agenda is being driven by a corrupted disinformation machine, run by a billionaire who sponsors Tommy Robinson and who keeps trying to foment civil war in the UK.
And incredibly our MPs & news providers stay there.
THAT is the problem. Not some bad editing choice on the BBC.
This is unbelievable. Just a complete lack of belief in objectivity. And the BBC fucking caved to it
09.11.2025 21:44 β π 936 π 205 π¬ 36 π 7A social media post by Karoline Leavitt (The White House Press Secretary) showing two news headlines side-by-side. The left headline, under a caption that reads "Shot" reads: "Trump goes to war with 'fake news' BBC," and the right headline under a caption that reads "Chaser" reads: "Tim Davie resigns as BBC director general over Trump documentary edit."
I had my disagreements with the BBC under Tim Davie but he was a decent man doing a difficult job.
To see Trump's White House claiming credit for his downfall and attacking the BBC should worry us all.
A twitter user named vydamo saying "it is with a heart I announce the sale of my long term ape, Salazar. Most of my early followers know me as this ape. My kids know me as this ape. I met my wife when I WAS this ape and had my first kid when I was still proudly wore this ape. By extension, it is part of me." "I travelled around the world with this ape in my pocket. We went to the most luxurious hotels, the craziest night clubs and the most serene beaches. We had it all. Unfortunately, what blur is doing to apes is frankly unacceptable. Since the creation of Blur, the ape floor price has tumbled from 85e down to 12e."
"I hope one day we meet on the other side, until then, goodbye." Attached is an image of a high bored ape cosplaying as judge dredd

It is way past time for the UK government & the BBC to get off X & for Musk to be treated as a threat to national security.
The world's richest man is using his site to promote civil war, ethnic violence & the overthrow of an elected government.

Josiah Mortimer @josiah.writes.ne... β’ 33m Probably worth saying that gambling firms prop up The Sun through millions Β£ in advertising and referral deals. For some reason they don't point that conflict of interest out on their front page story against gambling taxes today (save for a promo note that it "includes Sun Bingo and Sun Vegas") THE SΓΌn
