Andrew this, Sarah Ferguson that. I DON’T CARE!! Actually, I do care. I care that somehow he hasn’t gone to jail. That the BBC acts like “rock bottom” is losing a f*cking title! That’s not rock bottom. Not a fraction of what he deserves. And if you won’t give us that, then I DON’T CARE!

Tommy Robinson’s lawyer calling the police’s action is such a non-story. And yet the BBC have managed to (quite deliberately I might add) frame it in such a way that it legitimises these claims of the police acting “unlawfully.” And this isn’t the first time and it needs to be called out.

You can't win with the UK media. If you cut the winter fuel allowance, they scream outrage! But if you reinstate it it’s, How are you going to pay for it?
These independent media outlets, who aren’t actually independent as they are bought and paid for by other actors, are just sowing division. #lbc

The LAST functioning hospital in North Gaza is now evacuated because, let’s be honest, Israel is going to bomb it. WTAF are we all doing!? What world have we created that we can sit here watching a genocide taking place and do nothing. We have been castrated as a people in the western world.

So let me get this straight, Robert Jenrick is quick to call out others for not following the rules, yet he fobs off TfL when they point out that he himself has also not followed their rules? What a sorry state our politics is in.

Say what you want about Labour’s policies, and believe me I’m not their biggest fan. But for the first time in a long time I can genuinely see things being done. Both locally and nationally.

Unfortunately the only form of protest that seems to work these days is boycotting, so shop Co-Op if you can.

You know what media programmes like BBC R4 Today need? Call-ins. I’m sick of hearing Nick Robinson and his ilk frame their biased opinions as those of the country. They’re not. You represent nothing more than your own editorial slant and the narrow worldview of Westminster bubble insiders.

Funny how people make these claims. We keep revising our understanding of the universe, yet some claim to know exactly how it ends. It’s like me making bold assumptions about the universe while peering through, well, a keyhole. Because, figuratively speaking, that’s exactly what we’re doing.

When did the news mean perpetuating and amplifying the negative in the world? What did we expect the world would be like when all we do is highlight all the wrong in the world, leaving no space for the positive?

Can’t believe what I’m hearing on Radio 4 Today. China’s no saint, but pretending this trade war is anyone’s fault but the crazy orange man in the US is ridiculous. All China’s done is what any country should have done, stand up to Trump.

We’re heading for an inevitably unstable and dangerous time. Whether from dwindling resources fueling tech-driven land grabs (e.g., Ukraine, Greenland), climate change, or trickle-up economics squeezing the last drops of value from the people. The groundwork is already being laid.
The big mystery of our current situation is that while there are plausible reasons for the actions of Musk and Trump, it makes no sense for the GOP to go along with turning the U.S. into a “shithole country” overnight in ways that will visibly harm their base.
What gives?

Justin Welby “forgives” serial abuser John Smyth? How about you leave the forgiveness to those who were actually impacted by Smyth’s actions? What a self-righteous little man.

Record 4.5m UK children are living in poverty.
They are likely to face health, educational and employment problems.
Yet govts hit the poor - low wages, two child benefit cap, disability benefit cut, unchecked profiteering, poor housing.
Save the future. Demand redistribution.

Call me a pessimist, but I genuinely believe Trump announced 25% tariffs on car imports at least partly to distract from SignalGate. He’ll backtrack in a few days, and the uproar over using a compromised messaging app for classified discussions will fade from the headlines.

If Palestine is the litmus test everybody has failed it, so it's not a surprise the West is in a dire State. The same men bombing brown & Black people indiscriminately will also snatch your white elderly Mom's social security. That's why fighting for rights can't be selective. Everybody or nobody.

Funny how the UK/Western media can downplay issues at home while losing their minds when another country does the same. An example of this currently playing out is Trump’s plans to undermine democracy vs. how they talk about Erdogan’s attempts at doing the same.
