so many of the things we've debated -- for instance, who the real threats to free speech are -- are now, comprehensively, answered
the question now is, what do we do with that?
the question now is, what do we do with that?
Given it now seems beyond doubt that the cancel culture/wokeness panic was an all-or-nothing elite defence of - variously - important sex offenders, police impunity, official racism, various forms of hate and bigotry, and actual fascism: is anyone planning to apologise for their personal role in it?

Britain is broken.
Reform’s answer is like fracking: widen the cracks so the rich elites can extract anything of value , while we’re distracted by division.
The Greens are kintsugi: repairing what’s broken, filling the cracks with value, and holding communities together.

To those saying, "but the Greens will split the vote":
1. Things have changed.
2. It's not the Green's fault that Starmer has the Merdas Touch (turns everything to shit)
3. When the Greens offer the only inspiring option, perhaps we should see the Labour candidate as splitting the vote.

Homosexuals and bisexuals simply went back to prison after the camps were liberated. Under Penal Code 175 of 1871 homo- and bisexual men could, and were imprisoned. Until 1950, and homosexuality was illegal in West Germany until 1968. No VE Day, no liberation for LGBTs. Back to prison you go.

Not the slightest reflection that being seen as a dumping ground for failed Tories might not be entirely positive.
Or that it might help Tories detoxify.
Or that Reform is ticking down in all recent polls.

This perfectly demonstrates the pernicious nature of BBC two-sidism.
It almost always benefits the side with the most power.
In this case that's the side which is murdering peaceful protesters in the street, on camera, and then lying about it

The BBC coverage is absolutely terrible.
It leads on "sharply contested narratives"
It has a dramatic skew to the US government
It has posted the video but has failed to report on what it shows: it shows the US govt account is untrue
