The BBC's John Simpson is under fire after he described ousted Syrian dictator Bashar Assad as ‘weak rather than wicked’. Middle East expert Andrew Fox: "Assad is a top-tier tyrant monster! It's not clever to make excuses for his regime." Julia Hartley-Brewer | Andrew Fox

@JuliaHB1 @Mr_Andrew_Fox However, there's nothing wrong in pointing out that the new boss in Syria is going to make the old one look like a pussycat.

@JuliaHB1 @Mr_Andrew_Fox How about going after ppl like Blair and Bush Obama etc for taking out sovereign leaders in their own land and causing wars, or is it only the middle east/ North Africa that house terrorist, and west is squeaky clean, Glass 🏠.

@JuliaHB1 @Mr_Andrew_Fox On Foreign Affairs, Talk TV, 'talks' the Establishment line.

@JuliaHB1 @Mr_Andrew_Fox Assad was/is diabolical, but the Islamists taking over will be even worse..

@JuliaHB1 @Mr_Andrew_Fox Assad was an ophthalmologist who never wanted to rule…

@JuliaHB1 @Mr_Andrew_Fox Small fry compared to Netanyahu, who predicted 9/11 before it happened. Allowed Oct 7th to happen too.

@JuliaHB1 @Mr_Andrew_Fox TALK = JHB/ OLD JINGLES/ REPEATED PROGRAMS EVERY WEEK/ SPORT RADIO AT W'ENDS/ GETTING V.BORING

@JuliaHB1 @Mr_Andrew_Fox Simpson will blame the toxicity of X and migrate over to NonceSky.

@JuliaHB1 @Mr_Andrew_Fox I heard JS’s report this morning. He has always been on the ‘soft’ side of political commentators and not known for hyperbole or great emotion. He no doubt was employing his established trait of understatement in this matter. Let’s see what he has to say!

@JuliaHB1 @Mr_Andrew_Fox It's really such a shame that the once renowned journalist John Simpson became infected by the @BBCNews woke mind virus.
