Never sure what to put on here so, as my mum used to say, “just be kind.” Working at being retired from police.

If you want a sense of what Starmer and Europe are up against in combating not just the military might but twisted truths of the Putin regime, do watch the full interview I did this morning on the Sunday LBC show with former Putin adviser Sergei Markov. youtu.be/JGqAknD3vyc?...

It is obvious but worth repeating that regimes built on lies survive only as long as they can suppress truth. The promotion of complicit media (alternative facts) & denigration of objective media (facts) is not just desirable but essential. This process is being turbo-charged in the USA right now.

In 2019 Nigel Farage's Brexit Party voted against plans to tackle Russian propaganda, calling claims of Russian interference "scare stories"

One of his MEPs was Nathan Gill, who has just been accused in court of taking bribes in exchange for defending Russia in the European Parliament

Prof. Brian Cox is spot on. It’s time this Brexit madness was reversed.
An excellent thought for the day from Professor Brian Cox...

I celebrate the 80% of Germans who did not vote for the far right. Do not make 19.6% of German voters into "the" German people (again).

"The" German people don't exist! The German population is diverse and divided, but voted overwhelmingly for liberal democratic parties.

Goodall is increasingly becoming one of the sharpest interpreters of our times. Anyone confounded by the mask of American power having been ripped off in plain sight could do a lot worse than read this 👇🏼 to get a better understanding. And so the wheel of history turns again, as it always does.
Trump could have pushed for an end to the war in Ukraine without becoming actively hostile to Ukraine. Instead, he has imbibed Putin’s lies. Have written about the emergence of a new US/Russia axis, where it comes from and the staggering implications for Europe.
