🧡 Wow - this article is bordering on unhinged! Apparently the BBC is akin to a β€œNorth Korean re-education camp” for teaching children about net-zero and covering both the pros AND cons of immigration Join me for a masterclass in cherry-picking and context stripping to brainwash your own readersπŸ‘πŸ»

The Sovereign Grant to the King doesn’t count as taxable income. Payments by the state to Britons, such as the state pension, carer’s allowance, contribution-based jobseeker’s allowance, and contribution-based employment and support allowance are taxable. That's the law.

leftfootforward.orgRoyal financial privileges show that we are not in it togetherThis week, after perfunctory scrutiny, the UK parliament approved a core Sovereign Grant of Β£99.9m (from 2027/28) for the King, a 93% increase from the Β£51.8m for 2024/25 and 65% higher in real terms ...

OK, there is something very, very weird going on in the press right now. It certainly appears, from the outside, as if certain people are being very much protected in a way that was not afforded to certain other people! Let's start with the facts around Lola Salem... 🧡1/

The BBC does genuinely seem to be trying to save money where it can; they scrapped an undercover investigation where Amol Rajan went out clubbing with a view to exposing the easy access to poppers because they didn't want to pay for the Amol night rate

I think this will be one of the defining images of the Premier League's void years: a proudly working class fanbase celebrating that the ruling family of an oppressive regime had hired a barrister on Β£10,000-an-hour to try and prevent them suffering consequences for their cheating. Embarrassing.

Liar. Small boat crossings peaked under Johnson in 2022 reaching 46,000 in 2022. In current year they are 18,565 and falling. Also prior to Boris Johnson's Brexit there were none.

I would love to ask a prominent BBC journalist to give me an example of an illegitimate concern. Is seems to me that it has become a question not of fact, logic, or ethics but of volume. If a big enough proportion of a village was anxious about Bigfoot or Chemtrails, BBC would cover it in a way...
