I would prefer “intolerant of nonsense, outspoken and direct” and I definitely try to avoid “bullying” Am I above personal insults and name-calling? Hmmm. On balance I think I receive more than I give -
But I have never, once mentioned the storming of the capital, or said Trump is in any way not morally reprehensible. You put all those words into my mouth. For me, this isn't about Trump - they could have made that edit about Gaddafi, or Hussein, or Johnson... it doesn't matter.

But the BBC Is not the net loser on balance here even if you don’t like what they did when the BBC is disbanded it don’t be beside of decisions like this. It will be because people side with Trump, Dacre and the rest
