See what’s happening. A Trumpist US media company has taken over Channel 5. Another US company is gunning for ITV. Our social media is saturated by Musk’s calls for civil war in the UK. The BBC is the last thing standing, and Trump/Johnson are trying to bring it down

I wish this got more serious attention here. The concept is as simple as the East Wing demolition. It’s the destruction of free and fair elections. But the elite don’t run with it. Poor visuals I guess. Or they just don’t care.

And then there's this intriguing Tweet from Koloshyn's wife @NadinSassy who fled Ukraine along with him to Belarus just before Russia's full-scale invasion. It was taken in 2018 and posted in April this year. What does it mean? 11/12

FARAGE: “.. I’d love to sit here with you in two years’ time and we both say: ‘Wow. That WORKED.’” 🤡
Javier Milei had to beg a bail-out and already needs another. Argentina's economy is in a tailspin. Gov't bonds and peso in freefall. People starving, throwing rocks at him.
Farage last year: "He's amazing. It's Thatcherism on steroids. Cutting and slashing expenditure. That's leadership."

Just fuck off with this. How about start the conversation by highlighting how much immigrants contribute to the UK - not least by propping up the NHS and social care system!
Also - forced volunteering is not volunteering, it's unpaid labour.

What on Earth is this? An "in depth" BBC article about free speech in the UK that only cites examples of right-wing/ 'anti-woke' speech being suppressed. How can you mention Lucy Connolly but completely ignore Palestine Action / Just Stop Oil? Gob-smacking. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

How did we reach a point where the UK is being compared to a 'tin pot Third World dictatorship'?

Imagine you're in a weird romcom where Paul Hollywood is your rival. Do you go "let's have a bread baking competition" or do you emphasise your own relative strengths?
Because that in short has been the central problem with the traditional two's approach to anti-immigration voters and Reform UK.

This article, which is great, reminded me of a quote from Red Dwarf that had a big impact on teenage me:
RIMMER: It's just that I'm ill at ease with the opposite sex.
LISTER: It's because you see them as some alien species that needs to be conquered with trickery. They're not - they're people.

OK so feeling slightly apprehensive about this, which I suppose is kind of the point. This is an attempt at a progressive view on masculinity and on men getting laid. God help me. iandunt.substack.com/p/how-to-be-...
How to be a man
The right story narrative about male attractiveness is grounded in Social Darwinism and free market economics. Can progressives tell a better story?

This exchange is so very telling.
Trump repeatedly claims the photoshopped MS-13 on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles is real, Terry Moran keeps telling him it isn't, prompting Trump to say this:
"I never heard of you. I picked you. You’re not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed... Just say yes!"
