I'm disappointed by reports Starmer is now going to talk to Trump about the BBC and his legal action.

Not something a politician should be getting involved with. Trump will lose if only because the program wasn't screened or available in the US so as I see it US law cannot really apply (they don't have global jurisdiction however much they might want it). Like US trying to procecute somebody for breaking a 20 mph speed limit in Cardiff (UK).

Well it depends what he is going to say. I imagine he is going to put Trump in his place and point out the UK is a sovereign nation where US lawsuits do not apply and he should get over it and stop trying to bully us or we will impose huge US sanctions and encourage out European neighbours to follow suit as we need to preserve the freedom of the press.

That is what he's going to do - right?

With his fine legal brain he will clearly explain how the BBC works and that it is not state run TV. He will then explain the folly of a law suit.

And then, offer an unprecedented 3rd state visit.

For some reason the link points to https://ncap.cyclechat.... If you edit it to remove the ncap. part it works i.e. so it starts https://cyclechat... it works.

Re the BBC & Robbie Gibb. All factual.

Excellent summary of the situation posted to different thread by Brian. also very relevant to this thread (only short and worth watching).

Thanks - forgot there was a BBC thread. Nice to hear Anna Ford's voice again too.
