The dominoes are beginning to fall. No wonder the folks in the Swamp are more hysterical than ever as the mountains of fraud begin to be uncovered.

Keep the British public subjugated. That mindset trusts institutions like the BBC, the royals and the police regardless of the reality, people like Sir Jimmy Savile or Paki grooming gangs.

“”Coffee and a Mike” with Matt Bracken and Bill Buppert | USAID IS 8% OF THE BBC BUDGET”

100% bullshit assertions ...

the 8% cut refers to a cut to BBC Media Action, an international media outfit financially unrelated to BBC itself ...

https://www.bbc.com/mediaaction/press-release/4-feb-25

https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/en/charity-search/-/charity-details/3952578

an 8% cut to BBC Media Action’s almost $40 million USD income would be about $3,000,000 USD

an 8% cut to BBC itself which has a $6.7 billion USD budget would be $534 million USD

the jerks making this video are conflating BBC itself to a different organization with “BBC” in its name; they’re either ignorant lazy fools, liars, or both ...
