What happened last night was not funny. Far-left activists disrupted the event, which then had to be stopped for security reasons. This is done to intimidate people and suppress free speech. I won't stand for it. Would we see the same reaction if the activists were far-right?.

The @bbc needs to be defunded. It is incapable of being objective, instead parroting the establishment line. It's part of Britain's institutional failure.
The BBC is disgraceful on the grooming gangs furore. First it tried to ignore it. Now it gives prominence Wes Streeting saying that Musk is "misinformed". Lower down the story, it implies that group-based child sexual abuse accounted is a small issue.

The Prime Minister will have a national discussion on a fictional drama about a teenage boy but will NOT have a National Enquiry on 10,000s of girls being raped and tortured by majority Pakistani-heritage gangs. Where is his moral compass?.
