Why are #ReithLecture listing's on #BBacSounds so poor? How many lectures in the series, for example? Is it four? Are BBC marketing wonks scared that if 'n' is too high, no one will tune in? Is it to force purchase of Radio Times? Basic journalism and broadcasting, #FFS ? #RutgerBregman

In his latest #ReithLecture, @rutgerbregman.com set out how the Fabian Society helped lay the foundations for social democracy and the welfare state.
From universal healthcare and public education to votes for women, the Fabians helped make the once unthinkable a reality.

Bregman seems to believe that his views are the concensus and what every is aspiring to. The only issue is to achieve his vision. That's blantantly not the case.

Today's #ReithLecture was lovely and fluffy but it completely ignores the fact that power and money are on the right, and they are not on board with his vision. It will use all that power and money to not only to fight this vision but also to promote opposing views.

Ask on one side of card and to help or for help on the other
Make ripples card - make some change but start small
Final @rutgerbregman.com #ReithLecture today. I made some workshop cards earlier this year based on ideas in his book.
On Asking - to help and for help
On mattering - people want to matter and do things that matter

Disappointed by second #RutgerBregman #BBC #ReithLecture - a bit vague and 'hand-wavy' about 'what one should do' to fight the good fight ('2. How to Start a Moral Revolution') , imho; hopefully third will regain traction and focus of the excellent first talk. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Or indeed devote a large part of its very informative #MediaShow to dissecting the #ReithLecture row too? Please see:

It's not wise to maintain a "close relationship" with a country that is led by "the most openly corrupt president in American history", as #Trump was described by Dutch writer #RutgerBregman in his #BBC #ReithLecture.
The BBC has ordered its presenters and journalists not to repeat the allegation.

It is sad to see how the abuse of the law, the judiciary and power can lead to self-censorship.
The #BBC was probably advised by money minded and extremely careful lawyers to refrain from anything #Trump might object to.
Censoring a #ReithLecture is a disgrace .

The board which has too high a proportion of political appointees.
First on the list to give it back its spine, is reminig Gibb. Any full kno can guess he's likely to have been interfering in editorial decision e.g. on Israel-Gaza, for which there are grounds for suspecting.

Thought first lecture was excellent. Genuinely inspiring. Messages, passion and policy from an academic who appears to be writing the policies one might have expected to come from ethical politicians? www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... #RutgerBregman #ReithLecture #MoralRevolution #Trump #Putin

Heard excellent first #ReithLecture on #Radio4/#BBCSounds by author and historian #RutgerBregman on #Radio4 last night. really.Passionate, coherent, inspiring. Practical ideas and steps we can all take to make a difference, and topple monsters like Trump & Putin. Can't wait to listen to the rest.

This isn't just Trump, it's the rich using 'lawfare' generally, but the Trump case is especially egregious given it's the BBC
#Reith must be spinning in his grave.

I attended Rutger Bregman's #reithlecture in #edinburgh.
Frankly I found him to be full of hot air. His calls for a new utopia were pie in the soy ideas. When pressed on his to make this a reality he couldn't present any plan. He was more interested in creating

Irony? #RutgerBregman’s stunningly good #BBC #ReithLecture castigates moral weakness, cowardice, in the refusal to *use* power for doing *good*. Despite the edit, please don’t miss it. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

"Temple of the arts and muses' These are the first words of the gilded inscription on the ceiling arch of Broadcasting House's main reception. They welcome workers and visitors alike to a palace of art and creativity: such was the vision for BBC Radio in the 1930s. DEO • OMNIPOTENTI TEMPLVM • HOC -ARTIVM - ET- MVSARVM-ANNO •DOMINI - MCMXXXI RECTORE• IOHANNI-REITH • PRIMI • DEDICANT• GVBERNATORES PRECANTES -VT•MESSEM•BONAM• BONA •PROFERAT• SEMENTIS VT-IMMVNDA •OMNIA• ET •INIMICA •PACI • EXPELLANTVR VT• VAECVNQVE •PVLCHRA • SVNT• ET • SINCERA•QVAECVNQVE BONAE •FAMAE •AD•HAEC-AVREM• INCLINANS• POPVLVS VIRTVTIS-ET• SAPIENTIAE• SEMITAM-INSISTAT The complete text reads: 6 This temple of the arts and muses is dedicated to Almighty God by the first Governors in the year of our Lord 1931 John Reith being Director-General/And they pray that good seed sown may bring forth good harvest/That all things foul or hostile to peace/May be banished hence/And that people inclining their ear/To whatsoever things are lovely and honest/Whatsoever things are of good report/May tread the path of virtue and wisdom.
I wasn’t at the lecture, and haven’t heard the broadcast version, or read the lecture. The ONLY thing I know about it is that “Donald Trump is the mist openly corrupt president in American history” @rutgerbregman.com #StreisandEffect #ReithLecture

Wondering if Comedians appearing on the BBC are allowed to tell jokes about Trump?

@lewisgoodall.com UK mustn't lose #bbc to right wing extremism
#Reithlecture was good. To kowtow to Trump et al by editing out a sentence is actually same behavior as Trump. @shelaghfogarty.bsky.social public is aware & afraid of #bbc cowardice possibly creating it's own downfall @weownit.org.uk

This is so fucking shameful. The BBC is censoring a Reith Lecture contributor because he made a critical comment about the Orange Asshole! #BBC #ReithLecture #ShameOnTheBBC
