But it's nothing to do with Trump except the perhaps same Russian people trying to control Western interests.

That isn't the point, is it?


And to the best of my knowledge the site I linked to is not a "conspiracy site."

If you?re going to be annoyed at people who disagree with you at least be original about it...yawn...


By the way, huge tranches of the American right-wing (hardly bastions of liberalism - awhaywver you think that is - or feminism) really hate Trump. But then that doesn?t chime with your world-view so you just dismiss anything you don?t like as lies.

Ah. Indeed. My old GCSE English teacher would be howling at me now.


(The A Level teachers wouldn?t have cared at all!)

It can be perfectly acceptable to start a sentence with the conjunction ?and? these days despite what I was taught at school. My bugbear is the current trend for many people being interviewed to start their answer to a question with the stabiliser ?so?.

Correction, some people think it's acceptable to start a sentence with a conjunction. It has become accepted through frequent (mis)use - just as starting an answer with "so" will doubtless become, will you then regard it as acceptable once it has become normalised?

Would you buy a chlorinated chicken off this man ?


"Donald Trump has said he believes Russian leader Vladimir Putin is ?probably? behind a recent spate of poisonings and assassinations ? but appeared to suggest they were not relevant because they did not happen in the US."

Language changes, otherwise we'd all still be speaking and writing like Chaucer (assuming he spoke like he wrote :)) ) or in fact, going back to the mists of time, just sort of burbling :))

      Counterpoint: there was zero misrepresentation of truth    never mind the bbc or the uk (for now)-  his own country and government impeached him for trying to overturn an election.  What happened was unforgivable. Trump adding a few “non violent”’ legally wise words absolves him of nothing  but back to bbc and uk.  They were correct and now we have Trump threatening to sue for a billion have English people lost all self-respect (that question was answers 9 years ago and is repeated almost daily)

      Point is.. top two have quit.. BBC is now what? From being well respected world wide.. not only for news, programs, no idea about pod casts.. Only thing we as a country do well currently is broadcast remembrance service…. Lets face it.. only country that I know of who can release wrong people from jail.. one gave himself up if news is to believed and the other is where? Only country I know of who actually pay people to leave, flights etc and they are back in country .. all heard via Radio 4…

      It doesn't matter what channel it was on, how pernicious the subject is and when it happened. Mis-representing the truth in broadcast is not only morally wrong, it's against the OFCOM code of ethics.  Everyone in the industry is trained in how not to do it, most are made to take the BBC's own 'Safeguarding the Trust' course, even if they aren't making BBC programmes.  There wasn't much fuss at the time, because no one knew about it.  "Unless you hate Britain, hate liberals, hate the BBC, want a divided country, support the most powerful person in the world despite his many failings". What the programme makers personally think or feel should never affect how they tell a story; to do so is deeply unprofessional and a sackable offence.  It's the job of the BBC and of all programming to inform viewers of the facts and let them make up their own minds. Even in campaigning documentaries.
