Macron remarks are notable- some quotes: "We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies."

Today is VE Day—a day to remember the sacrifice made to defeat fascism in Europe.
It’s ironic that, 80 years later, many celebrate that victory while supporting elected leaders whose rhetoric and policies echo the very ideologies we swore never to let rise again.

With Nigel Farage once more gracing our TV screens on BBC Question Time, it's time to revisit this excellent article by Dr Russ Jackson which has had over 230k reads!
At least this time Farage is an elected MP and party leader. Not so his previous 35+ times 😡
