Trump: EU was formed to 'screw' the United States
Ooh, very bogun esque, from that irrelevant convict desert likely 😂 trying to get a dig in when the thread is about the EU. All you other numpty nations, convict ones usually, can only offer up mockery when you look at yourselves then realise what that little place has achieved. Alone?: Britain has always been alone. Influence?: it was inevitable the rest of the world would eventually catch up. Impoverished? 😂 It may be in a pickle due to rubbishy EU and own leftist policies leading to unchecked immigration etc — and the feminisation of the house — but where isn’t? -

Anti-vaxers kill child in Texas
The measles virus is documented and its genome mapped. It is PROVEN to exist. Measles virus is a member of the genus Morbillivirus of the family Paramyxoviridae. This is undeniable. And now you come along to insist that there is no such thing. There is absolutely no credible evidence to support your claim. You are not even offering an opinion, and are instead making a definitive statement of fact. A statement that is intentionally false. You are either stupid, trolling or mentally ill. Which is it? The man admitted to fraud. His "autism" claims were shown to be false. The man was extorting money with his claim. There is no evidence to support his claim of a link between vaccines and autism. You are not interested in science and are instead intent on spreading ignorance and encourage death and injury. -

BBC Admits ‘Serious Flaws’ in Gaza Documentary, Apologizes for Oversight
The BBC has acknowledged "serious flaws" in the production of a documentary about children's experiences in Gaza and has issued an apology. The film, *Gaza: How to Survive a War Zone*, was removed from iPlayer last week after it was revealed that its 13-year-old narrator was the son of a Hamas official. In a statement, the BBC confirmed that it has "no plans to broadcast the programme again in its current form or return it to iPlayer." The decision to pull the documentary came after concerns were raised about its central figure, a boy named Abdullah, who is the son of Hamas's deputy minister of agriculture. Hamas is designated as a terrorist organization by the UK and several other countries. Following the controversy, the BBC launched a review of the documentary, and its Board met to discuss the matter. A BBC spokesperson stated that both the production company and the BBC itself had made "unacceptable" errors in the documentary’s creation. "The BBC takes full responsibility for these and the impact that these have had on the corporation's reputation," the spokesperson said. The BBC further clarified that it had not been informed in advance about the boy’s family connection. "During the production process, the independent production company was asked in writing a number of times by the BBC about any potential connections he and his family might have with Hamas," the spokesperson explained. "Since transmission, they have acknowledged that they knew that the boy's father was a deputy agriculture minister in the Hamas government; they have also acknowledged that they never told the BBC this fact. It was then the BBC's own failing that we did not uncover that fact and the documentary was aired." The production company, Hoyo Films, also informed the BBC that they had paid the young boy's mother "a limited sum of money" for narrating the film, with the payment processed through his sister’s bank account. The BBC has announced that it will conduct a full audit of the documentary’s expenditures and will request the financial records from Hoyo Films for review. The spokesperson acknowledged that the controversy had "damaged" trust in the BBC’s journalism and admitted that "the processes and execution of this programme fell short of our expectations." In response, the BBC’s director-general has instructed that all complaints regarding the issue be expedited to the Executive Complaints Unit, which operates separately from BBC News. The BBC Board also issued a statement, emphasizing the importance of trust and transparency in journalism. "The subject matter of the documentary was clearly a legitimate area to explore, but nothing is more important than trust and transparency in our journalism. While the Board appreciates that mistakes can be made, the mistakes here are significant and damaging to the BBC," the statement read. Prime Minister Keir Starmer was asked about the controversy during a press conference alongside US President Donald Trump on Thursday. He expressed his concern over the issue, stating, "The secretary of state has had a meeting with the BBC." Based on a report by BBC 2025-02-28 -
