I worked for the BBC for 25 years often in dangerous places. I'm now ashamed of it. I've written to BBC Director General Tony Hall. My focus is on the Farage coverage last week, but it was all confirmed yesterday with the way Marr interviewed @DavidLammy . (Thread):
The way this works now is
1. Jacob Rees-Mogg quotes a German AfD fascist (a party that advocates shooting refugees).
2. JRM's supporters get the idea it's OK to be a fascist (as intended).
3. After row ensues (days later), JRM "apologises", an apology taken seriously by nobody.

4. Lammy calls it out, and gets interrupted by Marr saying JRM has "made it very clear he doesn't endorse the AfD".
5. Lammy gets flak for calling out the ERG's links to the far right.
Well, I stand in solidarity with @DavidLammy.

The BBC is enabling fascists and I'm ashamed of it. Here's my letter to Lord Hall.
