The bbc, again.

Maybe sacking the department involved might sate Trump's lust for blood

It was made by an outside production company

Or the BBC could just close.
Thee BBC are on a bad footing with this.
Trump can call the shots as to how this will end. Maybe sacking the department involved might sate Trump's lust for blood

I’m not sure this will go Trumps way. If the US court supports the principle of suing in the US courts for programmes aired overseas then the whole US media will be at risk. They won’t like that. Plus has he really suffered ‘massive brand value loss’?
I can’t wait for the trial and see him give evidence. Will be prime time.

I suppose the counter argument is that whilst the show was not shown in full, clips were all over social media across the world.

Win or lose this will only damage the BBC's reputation.

Trump won’t be controlling this. The Court will and they could very easily throw it out as simply an opportunistic attempt at diverting attention away from his own behaviour. Most recently his outrageous comments on Rob Reiner.

The BBC will probably not respond publicly but defer to their legal team who will deal with it appropriately. You don’t give any help to someone whose sole purpose is to gain attention and embarrass their critics.

I sincerely hope the BBC don’t try to settle, which would be less expensive than the legal fees, but take him on in Court if they do decide to hear it. The stupidity of the reasoning needs to be exposed.

I was listening to Times radio about this. Trump has said that AI may have been used. The hosts indicated that the BBC should counter on this front. They missed the point that if they didn’t use AI then an employee must have consciously altered the meaning. Checkmate.

I'm sure the BBC will settle for a couple of million.

I'd be surprised if it were thrown out. The bar is pretty high. I am not sure what the jurisprudence is in Florida, but over here he would only have to present an arguable case. Here, the merits are pretty weak; but they are still arguable.

I would love it to go to trial. It would open up everything.

Sadly, the BBC needs this to be put behind it; and it cannot justify $50m - $100m legal fees paid by the license payer to fund such a comic drama.

Nope, they will pay out around $10m; and Trump's ego and narcissism will be fully fed.

And if he wins?

 

[Spindle]

He won't because the BBC have called up hotshot lawyer Cornish Legal Experts LLP to represent them.

The trial will last years, it'll win by filibustering.

 

[HKOwen]

The arrogance of the corrupt biased BBC hierachy and their shoe lickers like Wisbech Eagle will cost millions to taxpayers in legal fees alone.

Tear it down and start again

The case is being held in Florida where a jury will decide. It is out of date to be held in the UK and would not be decided by a jury, so the process for settling this is different in both locations. He will win in the US but how any settlement is enforced I’m not sure. Probably the BBC will be banned from the US until payment is made, or until the political wind changes direction.

The left and social liberals are a disaster for the country.

They literally push for a deteriorating relationship with the States because they don't like the current president.

They feck everything up.....all they care about are their egos.

A massive number of people are going to lose their jobs....good paying jobs over this.....if it's not resolved.

I'd find and sack every single politician, from whatever party who voted for the terrible laws we have on speech in this country......and it was introduced under the Tories.

This is about principles. The left should be able to broadcast whatever lies it wants, without being held to account. If other people are going to lose their jobs, surely it's a price worth them paying ? 😀

Also being reported that Trump wants to remove the UK from the G7!

The irresistible force ego of Trump meets the immovable object ego of the BBC.
Everyone else will pick up the pieces and the tab.

If he’s presenting their case everyone will be fast asleep after 10 minutes.

Green paper: Debate on BBC's future kick-started by government consultation

It has published a consultation document - or green paper - laying out plans to futureproof the BBC.

www.bbc.co.uk

Public to be asked if they are willing to pay more for the BBC.

But will they ask the public about cancelling the licence tax?

No chance this is just a PR exercise the government and the BBC have already decided what will happen and abolition of compulsion will not be on the list.

 

[Spindle]

The BBC are ramming guilt agenda bullshit our way all the time, that racist David Olusoga sowing a narrative by omission, a racist funded by the taxpayer.
