Fan of Clem and Nye. Beneficiary of the Welfare State. Thought I was a woolly liberal centrist but seems I’ve become a ravin’ lefty without changing my beliefs.

Robbie Gibb is clearly an inside man working to either bring the BBC to heel or bring it down. It's incredible to me that he's still on the board when he's such an obvious threat to the corporation.

The Mail has a long & inglorious history of supporting the ultra right. It is owned by a man who doesn't even live in the UK whilst Dacre has used the paper to promote his own vile views for years. And anyone who expects putative PM Farage to do anything in the interests of the UK is an utter fool.

On 6th January 2021 thousands of Trump supporters used force to try to prevent the certification of the Presidential election results.

Trump's speech was careful to avoid clear incitement, but Trump's "stop the steal" rally was an attack on democracy, and he whipped them up to "fight like hell".

This is why every so often I say:

GO. OUTSIDE! Most people are good.
This miserable, angry, often PARANOID despair is precisely what the Kremlin wants to do to us, among other ways of melting our minds.

All are lunatics but he who can analyse his delusions is called a Philosopher.

Why We Forget That Most People Are Good
It seems everyone thinks the world is full of terrible people. But in fact people are mostly good, even if we all have the capacity to be shitty to one another sometimes.

Yeh.
You could count me in that.
I buggered off to the Greens 2 or 3 years ago.

I’m a eeing no reason whatsoever to return to Labour, despite having previously been a supporter for over 60years.
