I have been critical of @BBC in recent years and thus am grateful that it gave me the opportunity to make the case for freedom of speech. Let's hope it represents a vibe shift.

The head of the @BBC says it will “Pursue the truth with no agenda by reporting fearlessly & fairly.” But, according to current & former BBC journalists, the BBC is suppressing the truth about "gender-affirming care," mislabeling men as women, and failing to safeguard children.

JD Vance's criticism of EU censorship was outrageous, say Europe's leaders. In fact, it was wholly justified. The only solution to misinformation is accurate information. While BBC sometimes spreads misinformation, it would never occur to me to demand its censorship. Me on @BBC
