Cotswoldy @cotswoldy.bsky.social · 13hThe thing that will stick is, if you look and listen, do you go with what this woman has actually said? Or do you prefer balaclavas and all that? The leader of The Balaclavas has just been put on remand. We all need to observe considered justice and everything that we think the UK stands for. 000
Cotswoldy @cotswoldy.bsky.social · 15hThat's 100% why they pile money into political parties - around the world. Some governments have been in on the action with memecoin shenanigans. 010
Cotswoldy @cotswoldy.bsky.social · 17h"Reform has pledged to deregulate crypto" explai s an awful lot. Who said Reform was a party for sale? Farage has tipped the wink to a number of "already seen" policies. Didn't they brag about a UK DOGE? Keep going, Peter! 020

Cotswoldy @cotswoldy.bsky.social · 09/10/2026💯 But, even more now than then, the channels into mass consciousness are in the hands of those that seek to separate UK from EU protection. The biggest risk is Right parties create a coalition and go as fast as Trump to implement a UK Project 2028. You can see Farage trailing every idea. 1st NHS🪦 010
Cotswoldy @cotswoldy.bsky.social · 09/10/2026The Tories are gutted of talent AND tell lies. If it were not for poor journalism / RW media - they would have lost their deposit. Radio 5 "Kemi is great festival" yesterday couldn't boost them. Caller after admiring caller. I wonder if there had been any pressure on selection of callers. 000

That performance- at 24%- was itself easily the Tories’ worst result in two centuries’ worth of elections." 010
Cotswoldy @cotswoldy.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Tories are gutted of talent (& MPs) Any balanced view about Brexit was booted out by Johnson. Those that remained pledged to back BJ extreme deal, setting aside their own minds.

Cotswoldy @cotswoldy.bsky.social · 07/10/2026It is a thing. Beliefs are not something one chooses. One is, or is not, convinced. Logic or rationality do not instantly undo beliefs. The idea that the loss of Services is because we pay too much tax is absurd. We need a steady flow of messages to undo the damage done by RW lies since Thatcher. 000
Cotswoldy @cotswoldy.bsky.social · 06/10/2026And bloody hell, @iandunt.bsky.social Dunny Kruger on Politics Live! Approx: We need free media, not to spy on our own people, even though the former head of Reform Wales went to prison for taking money off Russia to peddle their disinformation and patter. This needs to be on 6 o'clock news. 011
Cotswoldy @cotswoldy.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I think she would, too, Ian. (Just listened to re run of Cable Street ep. and she and Reform accolytes came to mind.) Is it now to be assumed that they all work for a similar 💲 ? 131

Cotswoldy @cotswoldy.bsky.social · 05/10/2026That advert was by the people that are messing with BBC. Crap. If they produced journalism to a professional standard we'd be better off. Defunding BBC is key target for Right Wingers. See what Trump did? RIght Wing authoritarians want rid of the BBC. Dorries tried shutting Channel 4, already. 010
Cotswoldy @cotswoldy.bsky.social · 05/10/2026And We have seen just a fraction (VIP Lane) of the bad stunts they would do (*to be fair, so would Reform.) if they get in. On the mission for greedy people. 000
Cotswoldy @cotswoldy.bsky.social · 05/10/2026@labouruk.bsky.social I think you should leverage this. The Tories are just not serious. Liars - just blagging it, to get in and do more VIP lanes. 081

Cotswoldy @cotswoldy.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I reckon, basically, Trump's threatening behaviour shows that the UK is in no position to resist demands and is vulnerable to his requests - hence increased desire for the strength in numbers of the EU. 020
