- Reposted by Ian LoaderIt is worth recalling that the position of U.K. Ambassador to the US was not vacant at the time the Prime Minister chose to appoint Peter Mandelson to the role. A highly competent and respected woman was replaced.

- Reposted by Ian LoaderWhat makes this even worse is that the Trumpist - and wider far-right - technique actively depends on pieces like this, which disseminate their lies as simply one available viewpoint among many. The BBC has become a host for a vicious parasite which intends to consume it, and us.
