BBC Censors Reith Lecturer Rutger Bregman
Update: 2025-11-25
Description
Dutch historian Rutger Bregman accuses BBC of censorship, claiming they removed a sentence from his Reith Lecture discussing US politics due to legal advice. The BBC confirms the edit, citing potential legal issues following a threat from the former US president. Bregman, known for his book Humankind, shared the censored content online, describing the former president as a convicted reality star and modern-day Caligula. The BBC stands by its editorial guidelines, and Bregmans remaining lectures will be released soon, focusing on the age of immorality.
