Last time I was in the UK, the news (BBC) was bizarrely 90% American politics. Trump this, Trump did that, etc. People there knew American politicians better than the people who actually represent them.
If the UK news is made up of 90% US politics, and 10% UK politics, then I would say that is definitely bizarre.
Trump is a chum with Farage, far right con man and Putin's buddy.
For the reasons unknown BBC is *massively* promoting and platforming far right in the last few times (airtime, framing of the events, promoting party lines as facts, etc).
So Trump in the BBC might be considered beneficial to the far right. This would explain it.
Why “bizarrely”? The US has enormous influence on many countries, Trump’s actions are newsworthy in many places.
