    @bethanjenkins Project Kangaroo became YouView. It wasn’t shut down because it was a ppv model - it was meant to be like an online Freeview. It was shut down because it was deemed unfair competition for private companies. Who are now all Americans.

    Part 2 of #TheLabourFiles now! Freeview 235 Al Jazeera. It’s painful watching footage of @jeremycorbyn being bullied & mobbed again. But @andrewfeinstein is great, condemning REAL,vile antisemitism & showing the dishonesty of labelling mere support for Palestinians as that.
