But the lads didn’t want to do that: they wanted to keep interviewing him on TV, reporting his rare interventions and cheer him getting a knighthood. 314943
Reposted by Flat burrsflyingrodent @flyingrodent.bsky.social · 16/11/2025The takeaway IMO is aggro centrism is an astonishing historic disaster. Not only does it not work - it delivers very little for the public, doesn’t address core problems of the era and disillusions the public with democracy itself - but it actively aids the far right and prepares the way for fascism 736987

Reposted by Flat burrsDavid Wearing @davidwearing.bsky.social · 12/12/2024What Israel and its Western backers have inflicted on Gaza's children - let alone the Palestinian people - is one of the great evils of the 21st century.
