The BBC is changing their name to the TBC! Some Pertinent points, asides, serious issues and amusing analogies.

The Tory Broadcasting Company has really stepped into the mire on this one. Freedom of speech?? Gary Lineker is a lightnin’ rod!!

If Liberty Means Anything At All It Means The Right To Tell People What They Do Not Want To Hear.- Behind the statue of George Orwell in the BBC. Why put it there if you do the opposite of what it says?

Impartiality?? Hypocrisy?? Bias?? These words are meaningless when freedom of speech is denied!

The TBC don’t seem to want to know or understand their own policy. Freelancers are free to express their views. It says so.

The hypocrisy is that they pick and choose – Karen Brady, Lord Sugar, Jeremy Clarkson, Fiona Bruce, Chris Packham, Gary Lineker – which is the odd one out?

Perhaps they should read their own policies??

Impartiality!

Elon Musk’s Heading for a FALL!!

Typical right-wing reaction to free speech! Free-speech simply means blocking out anything and everything they don’t agree with.

So it’s giving a platform to holocaust deniers, conman Trump, flat-earthers, QAnon, conspiracists, hatemongers and any lying git but block the Washington Post.

The man is cuckoo!

It’s bad enough having the tabloid press in the hands of right-wing nutcases and the internet rampant with right-wing lies and propaganda but Musk’s take-over of Twitter is yet another nail in the coffin of democracy.

Elon Musk – King of Hate!

Elon Musk sees that there is nothing wrong with spreading racism, hatred and division and inciting violence. Bullying is OK. Freedom of speech means that the strong have carte blanch to tear the weak to bits. Propaganda, fake news and lies are what made Trump big!! We need more fascism! We need more right-wing bullshit!! Who needs experts or scientists when we have superstition and phoney shit spewing from right-wing nutcases!!

Give a platform to hate and racism – it’s the American way!! Freedom of speech!!
