I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Today’s Reith Lecture by Rutger Bregman edited by BBC leadership to appease Trump.
They deleted the line in which he describes Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.”
So when you listen, add that back in!

The BBC is becoming like Pravda in the 1970s; they report government approved news but gossip running in the background is going into overdrive among the masses. #ReithLectures #wato #bbcpm #Censorship
Wow. BBC journalists are now not even allowed to report the censored line from my Reith Lecture, that Trump is “the most openly corrupt president in American history.”
You can hear how carefully they’re forced to tiptoe around it. So chilling...

Appalling decision #BBC #ReithLectures
This is awful. And as Rutger Bergman says, this is how democracies collapse - unless we resist.
BBC censors a lecture removing author’s remarks on Trump that refer to him a the most openly corrupt American president.

I'll be listening to the #ReithLectures in spite of the Spectator. It's not good at looking at the opposte argument to its own. It was a good read 50 years ago.
