George Monbiot @georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 27/08/2025Here's how the real two-tier Britain works: 1. Whatever Nigel Farage says, however stupid, is looped and discussed by the media, while left-wing voices are treated as noises off. 2. Tiny far-right protests get massive airtime, while 10s of 000s gathering for Palestine or green causes are ignored.🧵 6529301072 2.9K
Deb's Noise 🇪🇺 🏳️🌈 @debsnoise.bsky.social · 27/08/2025And 100,000 protesting in support of retaining trans people's rights are ignored, as did you 110 1
His Royal Huwness 🏴🐸🇵🇸🇪🇺 @litterygeniarse.bsky.social · 28/08/2025Slight amendment to 1: ANY opposing voices are treated as noises off. If a government once thought to be of the left will not reform a press that is so clearly partisan then that government is either craven or complicit. 011 1
SJones @sjoneswastaken.bsky.social · 27/08/2025Sorta like here in the US, but we get added bizarre-o right-wing product logo angst on top of it. 000 0
Glynis Markham 🇪🇺🇺🇦 @lamourna.bsky.social · 27/08/2025We have to learn from the experience of Johnson as PM. Initially they appear charismatic but fragile egos need to strut, need self aggrandisement, need revenge, they are grandiose & have no emotional intelligence or empathy. Narcissists are toxic in public office. 050 5
Ronan D. Donnellan @ro-di-dendron.bsky.social · 27/08/2025Agreed George. They have absolutely stitched the media-political system up like a kipper. This only ends one way. 030 3

Jeroen Werner @jeroenwerner.bsky.social · 27/08/2025Well it is like the major blunder Obama made … he wanted to be a statesman, focus on Europe and the world. He forgot Georgia , Pennsylvania and Kentucky. Starmer does it too, be in Liverpool, Kingston on Hull or Camden, no he does nitty gritty and focus abroad .. stupid 000 0
🇨🇦-Daric-♻️ @forestgardens.bsky.social · 27/08/2025Even the media in Canada seems to be pushing this neo-Nazi awakening. Why? Why in the hell do we want the world to be evil? Is it just an innate drive to control the population by murdering each other? 030 3
redbeangirl.bsky.social @redbeangirl.bsky.social · 27/08/2025Its either 1. The news media loves to poke society and get a rise 2. The news media is bought by the rabid neoliberal nearly Nazis 000 0
stuart8.bsky.social @stuart8.bsky.social · 27/08/2025We have similar situation with the main stream media in Australia. Unfortunately the concentration of ownership, particularly Murchoch, is such that even the ABC is intimidated to follow much the same line! 043 4
Michael Gollop @michaelgollop.bsky.social · 27/08/2025True, but not only left-wing voices, but also those who speak for the liberal tradition in politics and all those who advocate for decency and humanity. The situation has deteriorated that far. 000 0

Dan Papworth @thelivesaroundus.bsky.social · 27/08/2025There seem to be whole accounts dedicated to "calling out" Reform. But aren't these fanning the publicity?

Captain Easychord @suddenstars.bsky.social · 27/08/2025I'm still bitter about the two pro-remain marches in London, about a million people turned up to each. I went on one. Completely peaceful. I don't recall any talk about "legitimate concerns" then. Perhaps we should been angrier. 0171 17
Mike Bovril @mikebovril.bsky.social · 27/08/2025Mad isn’t it. I can only assume the establishment by in large want Farage in power. Because they are doing absolutely everything to make it happen 1222122 221

George Monbiot @georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 27/08/20253. The police throw the book at leftwing protesters for being seen in a public place, while giving the far right & farmers free rein. 4. A cabinet minister, Jonathan Reynolds, says protesters outside asylum hotels are “upset for legitimate reasons”. No minister says this about Gaza protesters. 6730130 730
Weirdmage @oleimsen.bsky.social · 27/08/2025The BBC reported from Liverpool this weekend that over 400 anti-immigrant protesters were out, with just "a few hundred" counter protesters. This was accompanied with a photo of the far-right already being surrounded, and outnumbered, by counter protesters with a long queue of them still on the way. 0112 11
Sarah Calvert 🇬🇧🇮🇹🇪🇺 @sarahcalvert.bsky.social · 27/08/2025A million on the Remain marches, practically nothing in the national press, yet all over int. news. Shocking. Farage's people's march (about 30 losers) and its "progress" on national news every night for about 2 wks. Don't tell me Farage and his agenda haven't been hugely helped and inflated by MSM. 0120 12
sea-goat.bsky.social @sea-goat.bsky.social · 27/08/2025George, How does this happen: Does BBC only hire far right & zionists propagandist: make them far right after it hires them: Or Journos prepared sacrifice the future for the ego of a spicy news story, excitement of racism & genocide & seeding future conflicts & spicy news & upping News profits ? 000 0
Dougie G @craggered.bsky.social · 27/08/2025It's almost like we have forgotten what happens when you appease the far right. We need a government with a spine and not one that allows mob rule to dictate policy. 0231 23

Stephen Barlow @steb77.bsky.social · 27/08/2025I totally agree, George, the bias is obvious. It's like the lie the right wing Tory Press keep peddling the lie, that the BBC is left wing.
