This is a really appalling editorial error on BBC Question Time

"Apparently one in three children don't speak English as a first language, why does this matter?"

Chair says "have English as a second language"

Caption changes the meaning entirely
"Don't speak fluent English"

I wrote that over a year ago.

Getting truer by the day.

Firstly, apologies for posting a picture of this freeloading cretin, but look at the text

#bbcqt twisted a question about 1 in 3 Glasgow children not speaking English as their first language, to :

“1 in 3 kids in Glasgow don’t speak fluent English”

As ever, it’s bbc Mis-Reporting Scotland

Corporate welfare is out of control.

One example - Drax produces electricity by burning trees, most expensive electricity, UK's biggest single polluter.

In 2024, Drax had £1.06bn operating profit, paid £100m dividend, £300m in share buyback.

Received billions in subsidies for decades. Why?

The substantive rights and freedoms contained in the Convention are: • Article 2: the right to life • Article 3: the prohibition of torture and inhuman or degrading treatment • Article 4: the prohibition of slavery and forced labour • Article 5: the right to liberty and security • Article 6: the right to a fair trial • Article 7: the prohibition of retrospective criminal penalties • Article 8: the right to private and family life • Article 9: the freedom of thought, conscience and religion • Article 10: the freedom of expression • Article 11: the freedom of assembly and association • Article 12: the right to marry • Article 13: the right to an effective national remedy for breach of these rights • Article 14: the prohibition of discrimination in the protection of these rights The UK has also ratified Protocol No. 13 to the Convention on the abolition of the death penalty in all circumstances, as well Protocol No. 1, which contains three additional rights: • Article 1 of Protocol No.1: the right to free enjoyment of property • Article 2 of Protocol No.1: the right to education • Article 3 of Protocol No.1: the right to free and fair elections

So remember that ECHR has only stopped deportation 13 times! So perhaps Farage, and the Tories want us to leave the ECHR because they want an end to the follow 14 articles!

Please remember this next time you hear Nigel Farage and Reform say we must leave the ECHR to control our borders

Trump and Putin laugh as they hold hands

The Trump regime is pushing for Austria, Hungary, Poland, and Italy to leave European Union, this is the latest ploy by MAGA to weaken support for Ukraine and help Russia. Trump's inner circle is hoping to plunder Ukraine's territories and dissolve the EU for financial gain.

Screenshot of a tweet from FactPost quoting Donald Trump saying the U.S. is “into 6G now,” criticizing modern cameras, and claiming he led on 5G. Below is a Fox News clip showing Trump speaking in the White House, with a chyron reading “NOW: Trump meets with business leaders at WH.”

He thinks 5G is about cameras. Donald Trump is an idiot.

Same thing applies to #ScottishIndependence referendum

I'm old enough to remember when UK Labour's Scottish branch office leader Anas Sarwar promised 70k 'GB Energy' jobs for Scotland. (Last year. There are now, what? 30 jobs?)

I see #bbcqt is platforming Reform Ltd again. With a Tory defector. And a Tory MP. No Lib Dem, despite them having more MPs in Scotland than the Tories. Reform have precisely none. #bbcbias

Lady in pink who speaks English as her third language

Says the statement from Reform UK's Nigel Farage criticising English as a second language for school children is "bang out of order"

"Because you don't need English as your first language to communicate" #BBCQT

Stephen Flynn criticises Nigel Farage from attacking children who speak more than one language #BBCQT

"A man who aspires to be PM of these isle would pick a fight with school kids, would hold school kids up as an object to beat, absolutely repulses me and it should repulse all of you as well"

Stephen Flynn, "When we're at war on our continent, and we are at war with Russia"

"Our most trusted ally is choosing to proactively try and divide Europe"

"That does the US a disservice, and it does all of us a disservice"

Stephen Flynn, "Nathan Gill, who was Reform UK's leader in Wales"

"Do you know where he is now? He's in jail"

"Because he was taking bribes from Putin"

"At a time when Europe is at war with Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the Reform UK party leader in Wales was betraying each and every one of us"

Protesters gathered outside Stockholm City Hall, where the traditional Nobel Prize dinner was held, chanting “Stop the genocide in Gaza” and “No to war in Venezuela", expressing anger towards the US and EU for supporting Israel.

The #celticfc board ban the Green Brigade from attending matches, but allow the Glasgow polis to give the Italian support free rein to cause ructions at the Celtic end.

Of course the UK will not boycott it, Starmer and his pals will not want to upset their puppet masters or risk their funding .

Whatever practical difficulties the SNP may face in using the 2026 election to bring independence about, the prospects of the UK remaining united in the slightly longer-term are looking bleaker by the day, writes James Kelly ✍️

If Farage gets in he will outlaw Scotland and anything Scottish, except the Rangers Football Club, who are mostly English supporting.
