Should Gibb be sacked? yes, obviously. He's an abomination of basic journalistic standards. His GB News channel spreads conspiracy theory & disinformation. His Jewish Chronicle newspaper spreads invented stories. He is plainly trying to undermine the BBC so it's as bad as everything else he touches.

Surely Gibb has a huge conflict of interest and either should resign or be removed from the BBC board.

BBC leaders resign amid scandal over misleading edit of Trump speech | CNN The BBC’s Director General Tim Davie and CEO of News Deborah Turness resigned on Sunday, following criticism over impartiality and bias at the news corporation.

(1 of 3) Good thing the BBC didn't talk to any January 6 experts before going in this direction.

The United States Capitol grounds were closed on January 6.

It was a federal crime to trespass on them.

Trump told leaders of an illegal march intended to terminate illegally on federal grounds...

I think this constant push for immigrants to feel & act ‘grateful’ is so insidious. Let’s change the narrative. Migration is a normal part of human behaviour, not a charity case. If you’re doing your best to do your best, you don’t need to do even more to be accepted. It’s your right to be accepted.

Let's just take a moment to reflect on the self-sacrifice and hope this person embodies - not the evil, hateful monsters thirsting for violence.

Britain is not a country of racist bigots.

Time for the decent majority to "take back control".

Repost if you agree.

“All children’s lives have equal value,” we say, with confidence. But having for years witnessed my people buried under the weight of global silence, let’s face it: That sentence only applies if the children are the right color, from the right wars, dying in ways the news can romanticize.

Cory Doctorow @doctorow Replying to @jonrog1 A pathology of conservativism is that 'things used to be simple.' No, you used to be a kid. Your parents shielded you from life's complexity. Things are complex because you're an adult now. Conservativism is the desire to be a child. 8:01 PM • 2021-08-19 • Twitter for Android

I think Cory Doctorow really put it best

Conservatives think everything in the past was different from what is really was because they are remembering it from the viewpoint of childhood naïveté

Thanks for the reminder

I waited to post this until I had permission from the writer. This is real and it's frightening. The blood running through the veins/arteries of the monsters in the R' party/Project 2025/Russell Vought has been replaced with cruelty and evil. 😡🤬😭

Linked to this yesterday, but I am re-upping today because this is the best piece of practical research I have seen lately. It deals with what's gone wrong in political coverage.

Farage is keeping us prisoners in his Platonic cage with the nonsense he talks, which the media lets set the political agenda. We need to break the chains and go outside to find the light. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/09...

Far Right on the streets. Immigrants and Muslims demonised. Racist attacks across the country including a racially aggravated rape. One of the richest men with the largest platform encourages violence. Yet nothing from govt, other than we’ll never “surrender our flag”? Where are the sensible voices?

What frightens me far more than Farage and Yaxley-Lennon is the failure of the overwhelming majority of the media to speak the truth about these fascist Putin tools, just as the media whitewashed that other fascist Putin tool Charlie Kirk.

With such media, we are all but defenceless against fascism

My view is that no comment is not sustainable to tomorrow morning, without significant reputational damage to this government and to the Prime Minister personally, given the current mood of MPs, the party and the public
