Great point 👍. Having said that, Shakespeare would have considered himself more of a skilled wordsmith than a philosophical thinker. But I don’t think that’s what your teacher had in mind.

Tories are the kings of the “me me me” mindset. Daniel Hannan can go do one.

The BBC, like the Conservative Party, is responsible for ensuring that the rich stay rich. Now that the Tories have imploded thanks to Brexit, the BBC is turning to Reform to pick up the baton.

Agreed. Having said that, the World Service news output remains very good, although that’s increasingly at risk due to constant cost cutting.

R4 Today is insidious. It’s run and presented by a group of dinosaur Tories whose sole aim is to protect the rich. And its listeners take it as the gospel as it’s supposed to be R4’s ‘flagship’ news & politics programme.

The likes of Robert Jenrick is the reason the Tory party has become unelectable.

Yeah, I'm a climate scientist. Facts have become far-left liberal, even when trying to explain that the sun is a star.

Being nuts is a job requirement for the post Brexit Tory party.

Why do we, the British public, put up with this?

She sounds demented whenever Israel comes up. She can’t seem to help herself. I think she has some deep rooted issues that she’s probably not even aware of.

BBC News IS the problem. Not only do they not even report on significantly protests in London about Gaza they rabbit bullshit they are fed and platform twats like Farage way beyond a tolerance rate of skewed bias. They are totally the rot at the heart of the UK.

Farage has managed to seduce Labour’s Corbyn supporters by talking favourably about nationalisation (without touching on the enormous legal and financial complexities).

Excellent article, Jessica.
Something that really stands out is that Reform voters “support a strongly interventionist, leftwing economic agenda”. This presumably includes a large chunk of Corbyn-supporting ex Labour voters?

He also happens to be the named owner of the BBC-bashing Jewish Chronicle. Given what’s going on in the world, if that’s not a conflict of interest then I’m Brad Pitt.

It's delightful that we have a gigantic public broadcaster who expends its days primarily worrying about hypothetical headlines that the Daily Mail might run, and then the Daily Mail runs anti-BBC headlines anyway

A further complication is there are people that hate the BBC working in senior positions at the BBC (Robbie Gibb seemingly being an obvious example).

Sally MacLennan (Pogues):

Agreed. I think the biggest problem they have is navigating heavily right wing UK media space. That’s why they dropped Leveson 2 (to get Murdoch’s endorsement). Even the BBC News output is rammed with Johnson’s Tory appointees, who need to be rebutted. It’s a colossal yet necessary waste of effort.
