Listening to @mrjamesob.bsky.social on his discussion of why Trump is doing what he is, why the world is constantly moving to the right. Why authoritarianism is on the rise. I have concluded that the reason lies in the unstoppable trends of society.

RABID! There is no other way to describe the behaviour of the majority of the press and media. ( including the BBC). This is not news. This is not reporting. This is not a free press. This is rabid, anti EU propaganda. Are you taken in by it?

Listening to the press conference with the EU. I am sickened by the unrelenting aggressive, pro brexit nature of the questioning from the press. It is clear they continue with the pro brexit, anti EU rhetoric which has been so damaging to our country. Sickening and disgusting. Even the BBC.

Toxic, toxic, toxic! The brexit promoting right wing media has crippled the UK. Now they brand any attempt at recovery as "betrayal". This is not a "free press", this is ultra right wing propaganda aimed at keeping you impoverished, subservient and servile. Are you taken in? #RejoinEU

In the late 21st century the gap between those who have wealth and power, and those who have nothing, has reached gargantuan proportions. Can a fightback succeed against those with sophisticated weapons, including nuclear? Can anything save the world from self destruction? amzn.eu/d/1kIjeOm
