jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Polanski would have looked weak if he did not run.Farage lost quite a few elections so I expect Polanski will run again & win in a pro Gaza seat. 000
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 08/10/2026The problem is that voters presented with facts dont believe those facts if their experience does not tally with their reality. You wont persuade anyone in my town that high immigration is good for the economy when immigrant hotels make the town feel unsafe for women. 110
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 08/10/2026The far right would not exist in any meaningful way if the European economies had decent growth and immigration was under control. 110
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 05/10/2026European car manufacturing is finished except a few luxury car makers.Chinese imports are a lot cheaper & unlike USA,Europe cannot put huge tarrifs on Chinese cars.Energy prices in Europe are also a barrier to large scale manufacturing. 010
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Who do you see as the Blue Labour racists?Do you mean Lord Glasman & Labour members & people who vote Labour? 111
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 30/09/2026This is an often repeated shtick of James OBrien & it might be comforting for his listeners who closely follow politics but the next election will be won on Tiktok,Facebook,X & YouTube. 100
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 30/09/2026There is not much to attack.It is the same Labour "closer to EU"government with a leader who can articulate Labour & his own position.Its not really controversial to state that Brexit has not been a success. 011
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 29/09/2026My theory is voters were pleased to see Starmer gone.Burnham makes positive noises,improved communication.Honeymoon over when voters conclude it is the same low growth Labour government that followed the Tory low growth government.Reform becomes the least worst option for many people. 100
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I am sure if anyone based their ideas about crime solely on social media it would be very skewed. My own experience is there is a lot more petty shoplifting & theft from peoples own properties.Some of this goes unreported because police dont investigate. 000
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Her so is 19 so an adult.And he wont become a mature adult if he does not make mistakes and face the consequences if he has a helicopter parent spying on him.Protection like this results in less resilience. 2130
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 18/09/2026So nice to see Tom prioritising a fat salary ahead of any Labour supporters views. 030
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Gmail has definitely been poorer since AI arrived.It used to be very good with information from pdfs also included.Its probably to get people to pay."Subscribe if you would like to upgrade to 2016 Gmail" 020
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Banning any popular party is undemocratic & would eventually lead you down a pretty dark & violent path. 000
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 10/09/2026It will all depend on how much support he gains from the public. If the narrative is you are taking on the media,politicians and authorities & they jail him for flimsy reasons then his cause will gain more support or look stronger. 100
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 10/09/2026That is exactly the narrative he wants The authorities finding any means to clamp down on resistance to mass immigration. 100
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 09/09/2026A lot of people underestimating the influence this Tommo character could have on UK politics.He has a lot of support across the working class and crucially he knows how social media works. He will use every opportunity the politicians,old media & police hand to him to advance his cause. 212
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 09/09/2026The guy is very social media savvy and is setting himself up to get a lot of attention across social media.He is forcing the issue so that people either side with him or side with the old media,police & politicians. 100
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 07/09/2026People dont need to hear from politicians & the media to know that their own large town is scruffy,unsafe for women in the daytime,people openly take drugs & shoplift in front of them.They see it with their own eyes. 110
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 05/09/2026What is the obsession on BSky with newspaper front pages?People don't read them.They get their news from Facebook,TikTok,X etc. 110
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 02/09/2026I agree.I did not want to know what my teenage daughter was doing.They need their privacy to make their own mistakes.It also abused by controlling partners. 000
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 31/08/2026If Burnham is doing the wrong stuff people will be wishing they kept Starmer in place. 100
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 27/08/2026We individually have to much news available now often.Bad news sells.That is why so many people dont take an interest in news or politics.The reality is the media portray situations in the worst way possible to gain clicks.We were 6 weeks away from running out of jet fuel in early May. 010
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 26/08/2026The majority of young men know the Tates are full of b.s.and dont take them seriously.They are charlatans that have become more famous due to the outrage. 000
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 23/08/2026If people say something untrue or wrong then they have to face the consequences. 000
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 23/08/2026If you are qualifying free speech with your own restrictions then you dont believe in free speech.Racists exist so it is up to other people to block,ban them from platforms or arrest them. 000
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Interesting article.It is difficult to see Ireland voting to accept Northern Ireland with the costs that come with unification.At least the Germans had the prospect of selling more BMWs etc.when the East became wealthier. 000
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Rothmans March also available with 6 wheels 130
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 22/08/2026This is a political obsessives point of view.People do not go on X to watch dry political interviews.R4,TimesRadio etc are the place for that content.A lot of people use X for hobbies,sport funny memes & politics is on the fringes. 021
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 22/08/2026They stay on all the platforms because that is where voters are. I use most of the popular platforms and what is weird at BSky is the amount of people who say they left X and did not.They stopped posting on X and read & repost here like BSky is a left wing annex of X. 142
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 21/08/2026The media that has replaced the BBC is successful because they dont have a board,committee or well paid CEO deciding what content to create.The BBC needs to monetize the BBC archive and concentrate on the core products it does well,not chase an audience that has no interest in BBC content. 000
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 18/08/2026This already happened in lockdown so it should be achievable. 021
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 17/08/2026It reflects the change in the media.The media used to be authoritive and people used to respect certain commentators.Now everyone has a voice & calmer voices get ignored. Commentators have to be controversial to remain relevant. 010
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 17/08/2026X is bad but I have seen equally bad opinions on YouTube,Bluesky & others about Ann Widdicombe,Rod Liddle & Thatcher.Polarising characters bring out the worst in other people. 210
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Nope,but people equate it with Starmers freebies and the likes of George Osbourne,Tony Blair earning millions after politics. 000
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 14/08/2026People often vote for the least worst option.If Burnham's Labour fails to deliver growth and improve people's lives then they could join the Tories & be more unpopular than Farage & Reform. 000
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Farage is unpopular but if Burnhams Labour fails to deliver growth & improvements in people's lives they could sink to the Starmer levels of unpopularity and then Farage becomes the least worst option for many voters. 020
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 13/08/2026What a confusing article.The inclusion of a gaming/entertainment site IGN as a news site is odd and ranking by percentages is also strange. 010
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Nothing has been won until a leader of a political party puts FOM or joining EU in their manifesto and enough people vote for that party. 0150
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Looks like the Tories could slowly inch back to being relevant again if they had a more likeable leader.The right are splintering.PR might not be as attractive after the next election if Tory,Ref,Restore get more than 50% of the vote & Labour have a majority. 010
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Most people do not make that legal distinction.Some social housing flats were built locally to me and 2 of the 8 flats were allocated to recent arrivals.Most people perceive that those 2 flats could/should have been for local people who needed housing. 100
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 07/08/2026The problems of more devolution. Council has a terrible or good idea.Central government steps in to stop idea. 000
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Probably a good idea if you don't understand how companies maintain or increase their profits. 100
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Companies do not ultimately pay taxes.Customers like you and me pay them when the company has to charge more than they did before extra taxes. 210
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Opening a can of worms with this populist rhetoric.What is next?Sugar companies paying for peoples dentistry? 100
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 02/08/2026I dont think they will merge.The ideologies & personnel are to different.Restore only functions to push Reform & the Tories further to the right. The success of either is dependent on whether the new PM is all talk or can make a positive change to voters lives. 021
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 01/08/2026Lack of alternative that could improve anything. 000
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 29/07/2026Very strong grid of drivers.I am an F1 anorak so can name all the drivers back to Prost & Ickx in midfield.Jan Lammers & Elio De Angelis towards the back of the field in the Shadows. 010
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 28/07/2026It is more depressing that so many teenagers are not in education or working.Practical skills will be more valuable than ever if AI takes away clerical jobs. 040
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 27/07/2026I agree,that is why it has not changed & why it is unlikely Burnham will do it. 021
jonnyturner44.bsky.social @jonnyturner44.bsky.social · 27/07/2026It sounds like a better system than the current system. Dont know why people ar saying it would be hard to revalue either.Zoopla and similar website values are pretty accurate. 150
