The BBC has been a major player in the immiseration of this country, in the persecution of trans people, immigrants, muslims, travellers and disabled people, in the spread of dangerous rhetoric about climate change and vaccines. It must be dismantled. 10714138

Reposted by lucyEvan Urquhart @evanurquhart.bsky.social · 17/07/2026What's happening to trans rights in Britain is more chilling than what's happening in the US. In the US there's an ecosystem of zealotry. The people dismantling trans rights openly lie, not just about trans people but about a whole host of things. For them to dismantle human rights feels natural. 10917309
