" English Fascism, when it arrives, is likely to be of a sedate and subtle kind (presumably, at any rate at first, it won’t be called Fascism)." - George Orwell (It'll be called 'Reform' or 'Renew' something innocuous like that.)

The English have to realise that they are now, at best, 'a middle power' on the world stage & as such there are only 2 options available to them; 1) Join in political & economic union with other middle powers to form a powerful independent bloc....or 2) Continue as America's poodle.

Is it just me who thinks making a fuss of the death of a couple of thousand Jews whilst they have been & are slaughtering 40x that number of Palestinians is just a tad hypocritical & why in the name of the wee man do we feel obliged to stand with the slaughterers? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Thing is, it can hardly be accidental, so maybe I'm missing something.....TBH the Zionism is racism thing would have clinched my vote for Greens (if I had one) but I imagine that's not the position of most folk.........or maybe it is?

The idea that it's not so much about innocent or guilty as about who has the most money is not really a position you want to say out loud in a democracy..even if you are very very rich & perhaps want to chop up journalists & put them in suitcases.

...the likes of Laura keunsbeg treating these nonentities as if their opinions on things they know nothing about have any weight just because they are politicians is just plain daft. IMO it's about making Laura Keunsberg feel important. She'd be as well interviewing Coco the clown.

I honestly believe that as a stand alone operation democracy UK is stuffed....our last best hope (obscure Babylon5 reference) is, by hook or by crook, get us back into Europe before we become Albania-on-the-Thames. The window to do this is closing. In time we will be a liability & then we are done.

IMO the best answer to your Q is the one put forward by Larry Elliot in today's Guardian; they, starting with Gordy Broon (Mr PFI) bought into the Thatcherite trope that a National economy is somehow analogous to a household economy. Crass simplistic bullshit www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

LBC is lucky to have Sheila Fogerty, a leading authority on Genocide on its staff. I was relieved to hear there is no genocide in Gaza but sad to find that the UK funded Hamas, the latter claim resting on weapons not planted in bombed hospital basements & then not filmed by the IDF Such a talent
