The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

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

He’s a rep for the US christofascist far right and is being paid to bring that shit over here.

Scotland is now a colony of a US vassal state called England. That’s where unionist policies have taken us. And much the same for Labour/Tory/Reform, despite the spin. Everything of value has been STOLEN from the public & sold off to profiteers.
