NHS, Russia, racism, and Brexit. Got to fucking ho for the jugular head on now. Ahhh but we're all displaying our flags so that's a good thing!

Gemmill 63200 Posted November 28 Share Posted November 28 Renty Babes wouldn't have it that Jon Sopel was completely breathless over Trump during the latest election campaign because the last Trump presidency netted him 2 books, and the last Biden presidency 0 books. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isegrim 11894 Posted November 28 Share Posted November 28 5 hours ago, Renton said: Question. Do media outlets, especially the BBC, actually want a Reform government? Would seem like turkeys voting for Xmas to me, but it's the impression I get. But why? The government needs to launch a full enquiry into Russian influence on our politics following the conviction of Nathan Gill. This alone would sink Farage. Yet it's barely mentioned. Why? Traditional media outlets are scared. It’s not just the UK but you can see it all over the world. The tactics of the 1930s sowing distrust are in full flow again with people being increasingly worse off economically. People are looking for simple solutions and easy scape goats. The likes of Farage, Le Pen, Trump, Reform, AfD are unrealistic but easy solutions. It’s nothing you can counter by offering reason. With newspapers, state funded broadcasters and other traditional media outlets struggling financially themselves or fearing the wrath of right wing governments they stay silent for the sake of their own existence until it will bite them in their own arse. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spongebob toonpants 5193 Posted December 1 Share Posted December 1 I've thought for a while there's a chance the Tories pivot on Brexit, get a leader who .ignores the past and fucks Labour for being such chickenshit cowards over the whole thing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nailed it. The reform government aren't going to make voters lives better. In fact I bet the majority of them cant name one reason (other than immigration) or policy to vote for them.

Rayvin 8362 Posted December 1 Share Posted December 1 I'd be fascinated to see the outrage in some of the comments under that article mind I daresay more than a few spitting feathers and claiming that if only we'd done it properly, led by Nigel, we'd be the new Singapore by now.

Rayvin 8362 Posted December 1 Share Posted December 1 It is, naturally, completely delusional in there. I'm not sure I will ever understand how grown adults get to a point where they have to carry on like children when appraising the consequences of their actions. Sticking fingers in the ears, denying reality, a complete refusal to take accountability for the fact that they collectively threw us off a cliff. The mental fragility of the Brexit diehard is a sight to behold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in the case of the latter it’s fairly notorious for being full of bots, plus Chinese / Russian troll farms I believe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
