Stop what you are doing and look at this lovely story. A photography student in the 80s took pictures of punks and mods on the street in Preston. He’s now tracked them down and photographed them again. The pictures and stories are really ❤️ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Destroyed from within by right wing appointees. This is their ongoing campaign of replacing BBC & NHS with privatisation parasites.

The BBC is charged with political balance, it isn’t a tabloid that responds to who shouts loudest. But its editors are chasing ‘clicks’ not reporting in a responsible way, it has severely tarnished its reputation and is no longer a reliable source of domestic political news and events.

Reform, the party for the British people, putting British people first. I'm almost certain that Reform doners based overseas don't want anything in return for their millions, I mean, why would they? It's not as if there's any money to be made from divisive politics, Nigel Farage knows that.

I want the old style BBC News, three times a day, available on catchup with serious analysis and proper editorial standards. We don’t need rolling 24 hour news. Bring back heavyweight journalism. The BBC is a vital public service it should be trustworthy serious & factual not sensationalist.
