I am not a fan of billionaires full stop and American Republican billionaires are not my sort of people. But I must say my respect for him has grown and grown. I hope it grows further. <br /><br />And I must also say well done to Raheem Kassam for calling out the BBC on their double standards. :) <br /><br />Under the stress of Brexit and Trump and (in LK's case) a toto-Marxist taking over the Labour Party the BBC are really revealing themselves.

This was not journalistic inquiry. This was merely point scoring. The question(s) was litany of complaints that the liberal London elites think will dent Trump's popularity. Sorry. That stuff doesn't work anymore. It'll impress Laura's bosses - which I suspect was one of the object of the exercise. <br />If I had been there, I can think of four questions about trade and defence and NATO that I would have asked. Questions that might have thrown some light on the "special relationship'. But I don't work for the Beeb any longer - thank God!

It was obvious she was going to ask them, because UK policy is largely determined by the BBC. In short, Laura was May's minder, sent to ensure that she kept to the BBC script. Make what you like of the Prime Minister's gush about the special relationship. The BBC and their tame Prime Minister, are destroying it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-51320699370531753052017-01-27T20:27:16.249+00:002017-01-27T20:27:16.249+00:00'Another beauty!'
