@shashj @LauraPh222 A demonstration on a continental scale of what happens when you run a nation on these beliefs and principles- I hope other countries, like mine, will watch and learn.

@DrNeilStone I’d always thought he was a historian.

@cindycalland @CoryBooker I’m cautious to comment from across the pond, but I’ve seen it before - he’s operating like a firm with one or few people in charge, but public services in a democracy operate at the speed it takes to get consent or the required support. Which is the USA?

@trussliz @BBC Nice to see Tory support of UK institutions… but then if you only meet government officials in foreign countries you will often find they’re the ones that don’t like the BBC. Particularly the authoritarian govts.

@pacrabtree So often like that - really deep low, and I forgot to wind it up…

@fungibletokn @MarioNawfal You’re supporting development of independent free media, like journalism training - like when I briefly worked for it, in the 1990s, Russian commercial local radio news after the USSR broke up. Soft power for democracy… so bad?

On overseas training missions, explaining the concept of a Corporation established by Royal Charter was always fun. BBC - Charter and Agreement - BBC Trust

@elonmusk The trust trains journalists in places like Afghanistan - started in Eastern Europe. Private funders like Bill Gates and Warren Buffett have put in money as well - they're your friends, ask them what they think of its work since the 1990s.

@libsoftiktok Hello @GWR - does this affect the USA-Canada border being the longest undefended border in the world?

@implausibleblog Fascinating to see a conservative politician so far to the right that he's beyond the "free markets best" and into the protectionist zone - also that he simply doesn't understand the reason why ppl do or don't buy foreign-produced goods or services.

@radioparr BBC RC news bulletins, R4 and World Service - but then I'm not under 30.

If you get the tidal information wrong and walk out onto the sands of Morecambe Bay, this is what life-saving looks like.
