Appears so, but Klan leaders all know what they’re saying is bullshit but they need useful bodies. I’ve watched generations of sectarian violence in Northern Ireland, and none of the senior figures are true believers, they use it to keep themselves in position. Rile up the poor, send them to war.

But powerful white supemacists don’t believe as passionately as the foot soldiers, that’s all part of the grift. He’d change to any other ideology if it provided a straighter path to authoritarian rule & control of the public purse, of all contract deals, foreign & domestic.

Oh I listen, I really do, I’m just not convinced it’s an ideology they truly believe in. It’s an act, they know how to divided society, they know what will turn poor against poor neighbour. Once the power is all concentrated in the executive, they’ve the keys to the economy.

I genuinely don’t think it’s hate with any of these ghouls - they believe in nothing except the greatest grift of all time. They’ll say & do anything to keep the transfer of power going and this the transfer of public money to their own accounts.

When you accept that Trumps two reasons for strong arming a shit peace deal on Ukraine, are the kompromat that Putin has on him, but primarily that he craves a Nobel prize more that anything (because the negro got one) - then the why of what he’s prepared to sign up to on Ukraine’s behalf, is clear.

If you wanted to convince people that racist remarks you undeniably made as a younger person, in no way reflect your current views, it would be a lot more persuasive if your last 2 jobs weren’t being leader of 2 UK political parties with racism as a mono policy. Just my observation on the issue.

He’s just finished whining about Zelenskyy’s ‘ingratitude’ Amazing how he can characterise his corrupt arrogance as someone else’s ingratitude. I try to remain positive in an existential kinda way, but I honestly don’t know how democracies recover from this era.

No, we agree Trump is working with Russia, that’s a given. But Trump didn’t put this plan together, he literally couldn’t manage a Just Eat order. My point was, whether this was Miller working with Kremlin or other cronies, it doesn’t matter. It’ll never be signed. He’s already throwing a tantrum.

The architects are irrelevant. It’s an unacceptable plan to Ukraine & to Europe. No one else matters. The world & the worlds press need to quickly understand that Trump & USA have no role here that is anything other than fully supporting Ukraine & Europe.

Let’s be clear, even irrespective of the claims regarding inflation. If inflation slows or holds, PRICES ARE STILL RISING BY THE RATE OF INFLATION - prices don’t drop without intervention or a significant shock. Your grocery prices are still rising quarter on quarter.

Just finished Grapes of Wrath for the first time since school (O Level Engl Lit). I took in hardly any of it at 15. What a masterpiece. Steinbecks insight into humanity and the fragility of existence under trickle down economics is unrivalled.

Your own screenshot says they do. You’re aware (well you’re clearly not) that information behind ‘jokes’ need not be absolutely representative. Often the object of the joke is sufficient. The recipient also requires a sense of humour.

In truth it was probably 2008, when the super rich asset stripped an imploded world. Made themselves obscenely rich, and have sought to sew division & anxiety on all working people since, to keep eyes off them.

Since WW2 the prevailing pillar of western govt was to make our children’s lives better then our own. Since 2016 it’s been to make life worse for those who disagree or differ. How did we get here?

Thursday eve & finally watching Catalan MotoGP. That’s how dull this era is. Not waited this long after a race to watch it since 90s when I had to wait for my mate to bring me the VHS, bcse he had cable tv & I didn’t. Watched Moto3 race live great as always. I’ve watched WSBK, WSS & BSB already.

And I accept it isn’t easy holding Farage or Tice to account, because they’re willing to tell outrageous lies to obfuscate, that are difficult to fact check in real time, but it has to happen.

Farage faces almost no effective challenge from our MSM. Labour cabinet are harangued & harassed for filling in a tax form incorrectly. Party optics aren’t the problem. What the voters see in print & on the cathode ray tube are.

Here’s the thing…I’m a lawyer, I’m trained to ask questions & choose my words carefully - in respect of any dialogue with leave voters, there isn’t any fucking English language that encourages more than them putting their fingers in their ears. You seem uniquely capable.

That’s dangerous & stupid and obviously a mass misrepresentation of the factual balance of any debate. But viewers were left believing there was a black & white choice on the weight of evidence provided - but it was 100,000 to 1.

100% disagree, tell me how many Brexists you’ve converted with facts & truth? The BBC admitted that ‘balance’ during Leave campaign, was on any point of they had 100k experts saying one thing & only 1 saying the opposite, they had one from each position on.

It’s never been subject to rational or factual debate. The failure is of our media not to consistently inform viewers/readers that his comforting lies are worthless & dangerous. We can’t change hearts & minds, MSM can & has allowed this dumbing down of society.

‘If it bleeds it leads’ is their underlying motive I think. They know the output from Reform et al is divisive & vile, but it increases audience & clicks. Their journalistic responsibility be damned.

Not with the media we’ve got, no chance. Failed to report Brexit accurately, or Covid, or Tory destruction, now they give staggering air time to both Reform & the minor issue of immigration. Truth can’t compete with our media.
