Silence over Sudan: why do Manchester Cityโ€™s owners get away with so much? Two midweek matches in England had a backdrop of war and geopolitics, but only one drew large protests

Beyond Man City, other clubs which profit directly from emirati patronage should ask themselves some inconvenient questions; and if they do not of their own accord, we fans should be pressuring them into doing so. These other clubs very much include Arsenal FC.

'Stunned?' Farage's Admission He Knew Nathan Gill but Not His Kremlin Associates Does Not Stand Up to Scrutiny Insiders have told Byline Times, it is 'inconceivable' the Reform Leader did not know about his close aide's pro Russian statements

โ€œHere Farage is, in Gillโ€™s office, with Voloshynโ€™s wife Nadia, on the day Gill makes an intervention on behalf of Medvedchukโ€™s channels, with an employee of one of those channels, whose husband started bribing Gill to make these statements 6 days earlierโ€

Letโ€™s settle this, is Nigel Farage a racist?

Like if he is.
RT if he is Donald Trump's little bitch.

BBC Bosses Draw Up Plans to Win Over Reform Voters by Changing News and Drama Output The Director General Tim Davie and other executives discussed altering BBC โ€œstory selectionโ€ in order to secure the "trust" of supporters of Nigel Farageโ€™s party

Andrea Jenkyns has awarded herself an increase of ยฃ150K to โ€œrun her officeโ€ as Mayor of Lincolnshire. Council taxpayers will now have to fork out ยฃ262K per annum for her immense talent and expertise.

Iโ€™m yelling at my radio again.

WHY is Nick Robinson asking whether the small gains forecasted for the new EU agreement was โ€œworth stirring up the hornets nestโ€ of Brexit ?

Are we all supposed to cower in the corner, afraid of Farage and his gullible followers for ever?

Dear Mr President Donald Trump ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

After 9/11 Great Britain ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง, as part of NATO, came to America's aid in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan

Britain spent ยฃ32 billion on these wars and lost 457 brave servicemen and women

Can we have our money back, since that's how it works?

Come CLEAN Rupert Lowe.

Reform UK MP caught lying?

He posted about litter left โ€œfor a cleaner by one of the young foreign males...โ€ in a hotel.

Heโ€™s been called out by M&S โ€œMust have been a fairly long time since the room was cleaned - that smoothie was changed at least 5yrs ago.โ€

Total fraud?

Screenshot of the first half of my complaint to the BBC:

Comments re: Elon Musk's claims (not coverage)
I am writing to complain about comments made by Chris Mason during his discussion with Nick Robinson on the Today
Programme on 07 January 2025. I have read the BBC's response to similar complaints, but it misses the key issue: the way Mr Mason treated Elon Musk's false claims as though they were reasonable political opinions.
Musk's statements, such as saying Keir Starmer blocked inquiries into grooming gangs or Gordon Brown "sold those little girls for votes," are not political views. They are lies. These false claims are part of harmful conspiracy theories meant to spread hate and divide people. Mr Mason did not make this clear to the audience.
Instead, he treated these statements as if they were part of a fair debate.

Screenshot of the second half of my complaint to the BBC:

The BBC says its coverage includes context and fact-checking.
However, during this discussion, Mr Mason failed to clarify that Musk's claims were false and dangerous. He also ignored the hateful ideas behind Musk's words, like far-right conspiracies and the "great replacement" theory. By not challenging these lies, the BBC gave them a platform they do not deserve.
The problem is not how much coverage Musk's comments get, but how the BBC is choosing to present them. When the BBC treats lies and hateful ideas as valid views, it normalises them.
The public relies on the BBC for fair and accurate reporting, but this kind of coverage fails that standard.
Regardless of the volume of coverage you deem appropriate, please explain what steps the BBC will take to make sure future coverage of similar remarks will clearly challenge false and harmful claims.

Screenshot of response from the BBC Complaints team:

Thanks for contacting us about Today, broadcast on 7th January.
Our Political Editor Chris Mason accurately reflected the impact Elon Musk's interventions regarding the child grooming scandal had on reigniting the debate around this issue and the political row that followed. Chris explained that Mr Musk's critics would describe his comments as
'..slurry, hyperbole, falsehood devoid of subtlety and nuance in some instances." Chris looked at the backdrop of this story and the impact at a practical policy level.
We gave extensive coverage to the wider implications of this story throughout the programme, making clear that abused and exploited children are at the heart of this. This included hearing from Professor Alexis Jay, who led a seven-year national inquiry into child grooming gangs, who shared her view that the measures the government are now implementing would not have been put into place at this speed if it wasn't for this row.
We believe Chris Mason gave fair analysis of the story, accurately reflecting the context involved. However, we are sorry if you continue to be unhappy and have shared your feedback with the senior editorial team at the programme.
