"Former Donald Trump advisor Steve Bannon is still invited to attend a BBC-hosted conference, despite a backlash over his inclusion.
Bannon, who quit the White House after seven months as a senior counsellor to the US president, will speak at the News Xchange event in Edinburgh next month.
His invitation prompted Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon to pull out of the conference, citing Bannons far right, racist views.
Sturgeon confirmed her decision on Saturday, saying that while she believes passionately in free speech, her role requires her to make balanced judgments.
<snip>
"Sturgeon said the BBC described Bannon in an email explanation as a powerful and influential figure... promoting an anti-elite movement.

(58,699 posts)IRL, maybe not so easy.
Bannon is kind of in the middle somewhere. No liberal would be seen going to an event with him, while he's probably on the outs with most Trumplodytes, too because of how his split with Trump went.

But still not one kid shows up.
Because birthday boy really IS that much of a jerk to all the other kids.
His teacher doesn't even show up even though promised a Lexus.

(2,539 posts)According to legend, during a whistle-stop train tour on the same campaign, Tuck disguised himself as a conductor and ordered Nixons train to pull away from the station just as Nixon had begun a speech to the crowd.
Tuck would've gotten a bus, picked up bums with a promise of a continental breakfast and taken them to Bannon's event.
