BBC will not broadcast Attenborough episode over fear of rightwing backlash. Our country is being run by fascists.

The final episode, presumably including the “Conclusions” drawn about our treatment of the planet, is being shuffled off to iPlayer. Remember the final programme in an earlier series, that could not be shown to Americans?

@natofe Tell us more about yourself! Like real-world friendship, Mastodon feeds on information and shared interests. Participants are like the South American torrent duck, thriving on turbulence.

@Meldilorn

Turns out this story is confected outrage. The iPlayer episode was always planned and purchased as extra online content, not a part of the broadcast package.

@Meldilorn HIGNFY seems doomed with the editor of a satirical magazine free to air his views. The Mash Report was hived off to a secondary channel
