Sturgella Nurbongler @strontium90.bsky.social · 30/09/2026The Conservatives really think people are stupid. "Leaving the EU can't be to blame because it happened years ago" They know very well that the damage caused by Brexit is long-term and that it gets worse every year. So pinning the blame on Brexit is exactly what should be done. 011

Sturgella Nurbongler @strontium90.bsky.social · 20/09/2026When there's a 'western world storm in a teacup' I prefer to stay out of it. How important is Sheeran to bereaved parents in Gaza? But 'unjustifiable'? Stop digging mate. Killing tens of thousands of children is what?.. 'maybe quite a good idea but a bit tricky to justify'? Sorry, you're disgusting. 010

Sturgella Nurbongler @strontium90.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Just received this response from the BBC. I'd asked if they were trying to promote Reform or if their political reporters are really so ignorant they didn't know only His Majesty's Official Opposition can have Shadow Ministers. Not much of a reply is it? We still don't know which is the explanation. 010
Sturgella Nurbongler @strontium90.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Staying at a Leonardo Hotel this week. Just discovered it's Israel-owned. This sort of thing could be avoided by a simple mandatory banner on the booking site: "Warning ⚠️ this product may contain genocide" Let the consumer make an informed choice. 010
Sturgella Nurbongler @strontium90.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Can someone really work as a political reporter at the BBC if they don't know what a shadow minister is? Yes they've now corrected it, but this is ignorant at best. Or is someone at the corporation desperate to normalise Reform and their neo-fascist agenda? 020

Sturgella Nurbongler @strontium90.bsky.social · 29/07/2026Just realised this: My British friends think England defeated Germany in the second world war. Non-British friends think the Soviet Union defeated the Nazis. I guess neither is correct but the British view is less useful and more harmful. 020
Sturgella Nurbongler @strontium90.bsky.social · 24/07/2026BlueSky isn't like other sites. But surely some of us have obnoxious opinions? Which we should declare.

Sturgella Nurbongler @strontium90.bsky.social · 18/07/2026'Judeo-Christian values' sounds like such a harmless phrase but it works perfectly for the far right. Ticks every box: Assert cultural supremacy. Whitewash pogroms. And the Holocaust. Justify homophobia. Support white nationalism. Oppose LGBTQ+ rights. Avoid openly racist language. Undermine DEI. 030

Sturgella Nurbongler @strontium90.bsky.social · 12/07/2026The Daily Mail has campaigned relentlessly against England's best player. Hard to imagine why. Especially as that particular newspaper has a reputation for getting things right. 220
Sturgella Nurbongler @strontium90.bsky.social · 16/05/2026I think the BBC is the UK's most important cultural asset. It's made terrible errors and has caused widespread anger but it's not Fox News or Murdoch or Viscount Rothermere. For all its faults it's something to be defended. But that's difficult when it publishes loving reviews of a neo-nazi rally. 020

Sturgella Nurbongler @strontium90.bsky.social · 13/03/2026It's not hindsight. A year ago I posted this headline and suggested this comment made Mandelson an unsuitable choice for Labour. How is it possible that someone not even living in the UK could see this and Starmer couldn't? Does Starmer think it's funny to laugh at the idea of 'woke'? 050
Sturgella Nurbongler @strontium90.bsky.social · 09/03/2026I'm genuinely shocked. Many nice, liberal, Trump-opposing Americans on here regretting the deaths of seven military personnel. Yes of course. But not a word about the thousands of others, including hundreds of children. Why not? These people are less important because they're not American? 273
