Trump's White House & fawning hacks here don't really care about the 0.001% that the BBC gets wrong. They care about all the stuff it gets right.

The right wing has forced out a right winger from the BBC for not being right wing enough and will now talk more about the BBC not being right wing enough in right wing papers and right wing talk shows that hate the BBC for not being right wing enough

Raise your hand if your brain is sufficiently capable of complex thought to understand why advocating an explicitly Christian volunteer military is not ideal.

Facts…
The polar opposite of what drives most media coverage of the issue.
There is no need for a moral panic about the UK's welfare system.

Far from perfect but recent discourse is nuts

Spending is controlled, not spiralling

Worklessness is near record lows

does seem tremendously unfair that, when the main centre left party breaks, we get centre right hegemony... but when the main centre right party breaks, we get the far right. the sheer asymmetry of it offends me
I think the thing people are grappling with is that the actual variable is "if the mainstream centre-right party has its back broken, then that creates space for the far right to thrive". That can be due to economic malaise but the link is far from inevitable or simple

Threads is so fucking toxic Jesus Christ

The most angry social platform ever built inhabited by people who don’t have brains

It’s almost like the people on Instagram are toxic 👀

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election.

70% of these donations went to Republicans.

Now, Trump and the GOP are gutting the FEC — which enforces campaign finance and anti-corruption laws.

See how this works?

"They don't buy our cars."

Europeans don't want a car that costs a kidney to fill up and takes up 2.5 parking spaces.

How is this hard to understand?

Ok I think I’ve read everything everyone posted, and I mostly agree with the response to the pushback to the counterpoint to the argument that Katy Perry going to space is bad.
