I'm afraid of losing friends, for no damn good reason. And stupid, petty, hatred, centuries out of date. But, I can tell you'll never likely ever see that.

England and Scotland are in the same country, as it has been for hundreds of years, there is no "foreign". We have been, and will be, better together. Or do you think Brexit was a great idea?

Did nothing suffer because of Brexit?! At least this one is being fixed.

As usual, BBC reporting is second-to-known. We *know* almost NOTHING. The BBC makes this VERY clear. Why would you expect wild predictions from a quality news agency? #BBCBashing

It's not clear if anything changed in Greenland. It probably didn't. Just Trump lies and rhetoric. But the fact that Trump wanted something is enough to say no. Why does "that country" warrant anything beyond China or Russia?

I'm sure you praise the parts that are still working - according to you - ALL the time. There's far too many whining about it, and barely anyone supporting it. And that is why we will lose it. ("Oh dear" - So this isn't an adult discussion. Got you.)

And it's now also being deliberately damaged, by yourself. Which is surely worse.

Where do you get the utterly absurd conspiracy theories from? The BBC has an agenda? How are they managing to bypass all the checks? Internal and external? How many peole are involved?

Weird how you think that story was "supporting" Reform. (Also. Reform got 600'000 MORE votes than Lib Dems in 2024) Don't you just hate facts. Maybe #ProportionalRepresentation will stop people whining?

Matthew Wilcoxson @akademy.uk · 16/08/2026
Yes. And it does. (I veto your 'rhetorical') There's plenty of biased news if these people want it - just look at EVERY OTHER media company. Damn BBC bashes. #SELECTION_BIAS

What single point of TV are you referring to? I saw multiple BBC News points and read several on their website and they never said anything you are talking about. Why don't you look up "selective bias".

The particular example was from a specific time, a log that gets written once and then kept, as it was. Throughout the rest of the day they used quotes from both Fartage and the police. It was balanced, but not accusatory. What really urks people is that the BBC *INS'T* biased. Thank god it isn't

That's utter bollocks. It doesn't make sense. Reform were saying they are confused?! More vindictive BBC Bashing.
