Bullies on the rampage

 

by our Media Correspondent Potato O'Couch.

 

In the UK we may have differing views on the BBC and its editorial policy but what we are all agreed upon is that we don't want some foreign tosspot threatening to kill it just because he doesn't like something that's been broadcast here. What would Americans say if Kier Starmer threatened to close down ABC because they said something rude about him? They'd laugh him out of town!

The BBC is ours, not the plaything of international power-brokers who seek only to agrandise themselves at the expense of anyone who gainsays them. "Watch GB News" they said... playing into the hands of right-wing Faragists and other swivel-eyed loonies.

BBC News' output annoys many people by spending far too much time speculating about whay may, or may not, happen in a forthcoming election of whatever - but in general it is a source to be relied upon for a true picture of the world. Obviously it's a picture viewed from here in Britain and it might look different from the one seen by a viewer on the other side of the world. So be it. We all stand somewhere and I for one am very happy to be standing here listening to intelligent radio programmes (yes, that's how we spell it) and watching some great TV which is funded by me and the millions of other licence payers.

The danger posed by the super-rich - I'm looking at you Elon - and the super-powerful outwith these shores is ever present.

In true British style I just tell them to "shove it up their arses"!
