If BBC News was a hotbed of left-wing wokery producing *systemically* biased coverage Jeremy Corbyn may well have been elected Prime Minister in 2019.
It’s not. He wasn’t.
And we got Boris Johnson instead.

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms.
He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

The government should be afraid of the people.
We, the 99% have more power than we know, if only we work together.
Why do you think those in power try to divide us and blame minorities for our problems.
Divided we fall.

Notice how fast the billionaire stepped up to fund the military, but no one is stepping up to fund SNAP?
No one will step up to fight for a living wage, healthcare, disability supports or education.
They want to keep us down because it benefits them.
The billionaires will always stick together.

We worked hard to trace where PFI money really goes + it wasn’t easy.
Behind every deal was a Matryoshka-doll of holding companies, all obfuscating who truly benefits.
Want to know which companies are still being paid BIG from PFI contracts?

Keir Starmer says he's known for 10 years that the left has got it wrong on immigration & wasn't listening to peoples concerns
Really? Because 5 years ago he said the left wasn't bold enough in talking up the benefits of migration.
He really is the most duplicitous politician in my lifetime

Instead of Digital ID if you just forced everyone who lived in the UK and every company that operates in the UK to pay tax in the UK instead of using Tax Havens it would save £200bn.
Far more than any possible saving from Digital ID.

According to Darren (with his trendy middle manager style video) the digital IDs are purely to stop dodgy employers 🤔 The ones that don’t currently bother with ID checks, will suddenly be caught out with a different type of ID, they won’t check

This is an important one, folks. The question isn't how ID cards would improve efficiency under a humane and sensible government, it's how they would be misused by, say, Nigel Farage to target brown people or queer people or disabled people or just white migrants like me who are a little weird.
