'Do you have communist links?' US sends 36 questions to UN aid groups

> United Nations aid agencies have been sent questionnaires by the US asking them to state if they have "anti-American" beliefs or affiliations.

> Among the 36 questions on the form, sent by the #US Office of Management and Budget (#OMB) and seen by the #BBC, is one asking if they have any links to #communism. bbc.com/news/articles/c70enzdd #MAGA #USpol #UN

Let’s buy it, not invest in its upkeep or maintenance- rob every penny out of it, put prices up, take tax payer subsidies all the while paying ourselves and shareholders vast salaries and profits … oh no that’s already been fucking done. How much will this cost us? people need to be jailed for this

Borderline distraught about the apparent news that #BBC #radio will stop being accessible outside the #UK.

Here in #Australia, I've been a religious listener of Elizabeth Alker's Unclassified, Sara Mohr-Pietsch & Hannah Peel's Night Tracks and Stuart Maconie's Freak Zone for a good few years now. I've discovered a vast amount of amazing new #music from these shows and the thought that they're going to go away is really quite depressing.

I'd be more than happy to pay an "overseas license fee" to access this stuff, but I know that'll never happen. Yes, I could pay for a VPN, but why should I have to? The seemingly inevitable march of #enshittification continues ever onward. #BBCRadio

Former #BBC journalist Karishma #Patel has called the broadcaster out for refusing to reach ‘reasonable, evidence-based conclusions’ over #Israel’s genocide in Gaza. As a result, she suggested, it has become ‘a vehicle in #informational #warfare’. And that’s why she resigned in 2024”

Canary · Former BBC journalist goes rogue, calling out the broadcaster's pro-Israel biasPatel said 'we have passed the point at which Israel’s war crimes and crimes against humanity are debatable' - yet the BBC continues to

"#BBC decision to remove the documentary Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone from its platforms & silence children's voices is profoundly disappointing & unethical.

…harrowing account of life in #Gaza as seen through the eyes of #Palestinian children.

"Children must not be held responsible for the actions of adults, and weaponising family associations to discredit a child’s testimony is both unethical and dangerous”.

…5 stars in the Guardian and the Times: "Exceptional" "
