George Monbiot @georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 25/02/2026Those who most loudly assert their patriotism are always the first to sell us down the river. Both Johnson and Nigel Farage were in active discussions with Bannon, for whom Brexit was a major prize. Bannon was feeding intelligence back to Epstein, who also wanted the UK out of the European Union. 3531169 0
George Monbiot @georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 25/02/2026It's a reminder that Brexit had nothing to do with our interests. It was an elite project backed by extreme rightwing billionaires and their concierges, many of whom had no vote or standing in this country. Yet it was packaged as patriotism by the very people collaborating with foreign interests. 11629194 0
Melody Lee Lacy @melodyleelacy.bsky.social · 25/02/2026It feels like Brexit allowed austerity measures that otherwise would not have been tolerated, in the name of twisted patriotism. 070 0
rafaelmelchor.bsky.social @rafaelmelchor.bsky.social · 25/02/2026The EU is far from perfect, nevertheless two things are now obvious to those that are paying attention: firstly; it’s now clear that the UK was so very much better off being a part of it & secondly; a cohesive EU with the UK along with Germany & France at its centre was/is a threat to US hegemony.🌱🕊️media.tenor.coma man sits under a palm tree on a beach and looks at the oceanALT: a man sits under a palm tree on a beach and looks at the ocean 051 0

Mod Magus @modmagus.bsky.social · 25/02/2026We must admit: they positioned and sold it (Brexit) very well. Uniting people in hatred against minorities is (sadly) so much easier than uniting people in appreciation for small, steady gains in quality of life and intangibles like 'peace'. Most people didn't know what they had till they missed it. 010 0
Ged Gibson @gedgibson.bsky.social · 25/02/2026"Brexit had nothing to do with our interests", that's applicable for anything Farage does, isn't it? Yet people are blind to this due to their inherent nationalism, xenophobia, and racism. 060 0
George Monbiot @georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 25/02/2026It's all part of the same story: these political manipulations sit alongside the industrial-scale abuse and rape of women and children by the Epstein network. Ordinary humans are simply objects to them, to be conned, exploited, extracted, destroyed and discarded as convenience dictates. 426770 0
Gerry Bolton @gerryb.bsky.social · 25/02/2026So why is Johnson not facing charges re misconduct in public office for either this or his meets with Lebedev senior when he was foreign sec in Italy after NATO conference 0114 0

Paul McGhee @pmcghee.bsky.social · 25/02/2026Consorting with foreign powers to cause extensive damage to your own country for personal gain. I'm sure we used to have a word for that, and a suitable punishment. 151 0
