As Trump and Putin work to crush Ukraine and destabilise Europe and Farage’s ally gets sentenced to 10yrs for taking Russian bribes, it’s a good time to revisit this excellent report on how the British rightwing has betrayed us all.
Brexit was their weapon of choice.

personally, I think it completely defeats the point of a putdown if the subject doesnt know it's coming from me
I will never get my head round the idea of setting up a fake account to troll someone. The admin would be too much for me. I'd give myself away in the first fortnight and post from the wrong account.

I can't even be relied on to invoice promptly and that involves getting money.

Also hilarious, for want of a better word, that British ‘patriots’ are amplifying & funding foreign actors who live in unsafe countries & have never been near Britain slagging off Britain. Good old Elon.
I see a lot of Paidchecks on X didn’t realize that a whole lot of people on social media lie about their location to grift off the naïveté of the rage-addled American right.

Turns out this problem is real and it’s a thing those of us who worked on “disinformation” pointed out.

This focuses on politics. But we should also care about *outcomes*.

In the UK, migrants (both from EU and elsewhere) are more likely to have a job than the UK born. In Denmark, there's a gap of 15-20%. Similarly for education outcomes.

Why would we want to copy that?
After more than 10 years of “the Danish Model”, nativism is hegemonic in the country, the far right polls near level highs again, and the Social Democrats lost Copenhagen and poll at historic low.

European Social Democrats should look at the facts, not the myths!
