The BBC is very very big.

22,000 direct employees, thousands more freelancers and subcontractors. It’s one of the biggest broadcasters, cultural institutions and tech companies.

BBC News is the largest newsgathering organisation in the world, with content produced in around 45 languages and employs people in 73 bureax across 59 countries, as well as paying the salaries of journalists at dozens of local newspapers in the UK.

BBC Studios, the commercial and production arm, employs people in Canada, the US, Australia, India, NZ, Netherlands, Germany, France, Poland, Brazil, Singapore, China, Taiwan, UAE, SA and S Korea.

So it’s a city-sized corporation with cultural and language barriers. It’s also the largest public service broadcaster in the world, with £3.8bn of its budget paid for by the licence fee. This subjects it to more scrutiny than almost any other broadcaster.

It publicly publishes its annual report and accounts, a listing of its top salaries, and a summary of recent paid external events undertaken by journalists and top executives, where there’s always material for the tabloid press, who resent the power the BBC has.

BBC News does nothing more zealously than report on the BBC’s controversies and missteps. At any commercial broadcaster most of that stuff would be behind locked and bolted doors, with only a terse statement by the press office.

And it’s a media organisation. The public is fascinated by TV and radio. They are more interested in a harrassment investigation at the BBC than they would be at British Steel.

So, due to its size then, you’d expect more incidences than in most media organisations. Due to its sector, you’d expect more public fascination with incidences than almost anywhere outside politics, and due to its funding model it always has a target on its back from the likes of the Murdochs.

They are the sole British carrier-capable fixed wing aircraft, and have been used in NATO air policing operations. They are currently embarked on HMS Prince of Wales as it conducts its training and freedom-of-navigation mission in the Indo-Pacific.

Verification is part of the law

And any instances hosted in the UK or accessible from the UK are subject to this law.

They’ll get round to Lemmy eventually.

You’re imagining lots of cross-border raids occurring then?

There’s a lot to investigate. But the political and social reality is that it isn’t possible to investigate one way, it would have to be investigate everything. It would drag things up again, and NI is trying to move forward, so there is limited scope.

Socialism is mutually exclusive to democracy however, and I’m not sure people would willingly give away their voting rights. The furthest Britain went was the post-war labour regime which was careful not to be “socialist”, but rather a social democracy which nevertheless formed the NHS and BTC (with variable results).

Do what you can. No-one needs to eschew all American things, but if everyone can cut down a little bit, their economy will feel the pain. A poor economy gives less for the tits in charge to hide behind.

Because it’s not relevant at all that Americans keep insisting on thinking that everyone else is just like them. Never caused any issues.

Spain? Federal? Must be the victim of that American “education”.

Buxton is commentating IndyCar for FOX.

Liberty didn’t build the US audience for fun. They are expecting a return on the investment. With 3+2 GPs in market, they are expecting a big return.

Boycott American-made goods and services, and try not to support anything from American-owned companies.

Swizzels Matlow and a range of high-end chocolatiers

A similar thing happened when he turned up to a White House press gala and Obama made him the butt of a joke. I think that was the moment Donny decided to run for president.

But wasn’t this why your creepy basement people kept gun rights in your laws?

The US is one of the only countries that still requires citizens living overseas to file and pay taxes. It’d be great if he further crippled the US war machine this way.

Their organisiation’s US leader is fond of spouting pro-Kremlin anti-Ukrainian nonsense. Maybe they were used as useful idiots by Putin.

Did the gun get damaged in the incident?

I remember when heads of state were expected to be more intelligent than a Spaniel.

Can’t tell if this is a press release or a Kneecap band photo
