To be fair it was far from just Trump bashing. He didn't get much more than a mention in the hour long session. He, Bregman, was equally as scathing of the Left as he was of the Right really. He has no allegiance to the BBC as far as I know. 

 

The sensored claim was that Trump was “the most openly corrupt president in American history”.  Which isn't that controversial actually. The man himself doesn't exactly make much attempt to conceal his dealings. 

Bregman seems like a very well informed and knowledgeable guy, I'm sure he didn't write those words without a good deal of research leading to credible citations and evidence. 

 

The point here is that the BBC, our public broadcaster, is running scared from the bullying tactics of another country's president. That means he has influence over them. To me, that isn't a good state of affairs. I thought more people might be alarmed by this, as there's been a lot of noise about The Death of Free Speech recently. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mmmm interesting.  I think it is clear why they removed that line.  It is nonsense.

I guess you don’t know about Nixon and watergate.  Or indeed Clinton. Not to mention many moons ago Harding.

 

Trump has been accused of various things, but so far not much has stuck.

The world at the moment is surely just the premise of Rat Race (2001 film), where bored rich men see how far they can push it before everyone else realises how ridiculous it is.

So you didnt buy one of his bibles or a bottle of aftershave then?

 

Imagine the never ending of posts if Starmer/Boris or any other PM was pushing and selling the shit that Trump is.
