Reposted by Mogelflyingrodent @flyingrodent.bsky.social · 3hNote here how “virtue signalling” means “doing anything about these war crimes beyond either saying they’re great, or doing nothing”. And up until about six weeks ago, these were the only acceptable responses in British politics. They still would be, if those Mandelson emails hadn’t surfaced. 0389
Reposted by Mogelflyingrodent @flyingrodent.bsky.social · 16hWhen the lads say “this party is unelectable”, that is their cast iron promise: we are going to raise hell and scream abuse until you rue the day you opened your big mouths to criticise. Fuck you. 320628
Reposted by Mogelflyingrodent @flyingrodent.bsky.social · 16hYou should understand this stuff not as analysis of public opinion - since when did the lads give a fuck about that? - and not even as threats.

Reposted by Mogelflyingrodent @flyingrodent.bsky.social · 05/10/2026It really is not much more complex than: America is 100% behind Israel destroying the Palestinians, and that means our leaders are also behind it, which means the entire press pack is behind it, and they pretend together that it’s insane to say anything about resisting it. 312528
Reposted by Mogelflyingrodent @flyingrodent.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I really do not know how we expect the public in Britain to respond when their leaders line up behind a genocidal racist regime and then insist that actually, it is crazy and hateful to be upset about the massacre and destruction. *No wonder* people are going tonto mental about it. 110619

Reposted by Mogelflyingrodent @flyingrodent.bsky.social · 23hAgain, an *immediate* reaction from the cops and a forensic investigation by the EHRC would be quite clarifying here.

Reposted by Mogelflyingrodent @flyingrodent.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Again, notice how Tony Blair felt secure telling millions of people to fuck off over the Iraq War, because this system was broadly working and even improving.

Reposted by Mogelflyingrodent @flyingrodent.bsky.social · 05/10/2026It seems unlikely that a BBC editor who e.g. made a film that “accidentally” accused Tory staff of screaming “Hitler was right” at colleagues and later quietly clarified this wasn’t correct, in an election year, would ever work in current affairs again. 617549
