These so-called "patriotic" 🇬🇧newspapers who brought you Brexit were never really patriotic at all.
They are driven by a disdain for Britain's European neighbours, and a fawning obsession with America.
They do not really want 🇬🇧 to be sovereign. They're content being a 🇺🇸vassal.

Read every word of this.
It's not hypocrisy, it's capitalism.
The bizarre behaviour of Western states and leaders often seems to betray a moral double standard. But in fact it is all perfectly consistent with a single standard, namely, the objective of maintaining the conditions for capital accumulation in the core.

Great to see Ofcom launch a formal investigation into X. It’s crucial this doesn't stop at AI imagery, it must also cover the vast amount of other illegal content X isn't removing under the Online Safety Act
