The irony is, he really did have the chance to see Britain through the worst threat to British lives since WW2, and be the new Churchill. But he totally, utterly failed, because he simply couldn't be arsed to apply himself.

The logical end point of this is:
All men must have buzz cuts, bulked up muscles, suits+ties or camouflage gear.
All women must wear make-up, long hair, high heels and skirts.
Anyone else is a 'non-person' ...
Terrifying.

The key thing here is that years of subtle right-wing biases at the BBC passed without complaint (e.g. platforming of Farage, lack of scrutiny of his policies, etc), but a single piece of bias against the right, and heads roll. This proves your point.

I'm not a Starmer fan, but this is idiotic from the Greens.

Those people who stayed home share some blame for what has happened since. Anyone who paid even the remotest attention could see how destructive Trump would be.

False equivalence like this is exactly how Fascists obtain power.
I'm sure you'll be happy on your moral high horse as Trump strips Americans of health cover and turns the ruins of Gaza into a giant resort for the super-rich.

Anyone who supports Trump is about as Christian as Davros.

Anyone who saw Trump saying "They're eating the dogs" and still voted for him is a moron. And that is being generous. Same would apply to supporters of anyone who said something so blatantly racist and idiotic

There were two options. Anyone who chose Trump shares responsibilty for everything he does.

Biden was very poor on this. But anyone who voted Trump because of it was an absolute moron.

But the fact remains, anyone who didn't vote Harris because of this has enabled Trump and Fascism. This would be true even if Harris was no better than Trump on Gaza.
October 29, 2025 at 3:15 PM
This is the key point. That, and that Trump was also worse on every other issue.

I blame them MORE than the MAGA faithful. The MAGA lot are brainwashed. The anti-Harris left thought their anger at Biden/Harris justified the enabling of Fascism.
Voting far-right does not "punish" other politicians.
It punishes the vulnerable, the minorities, and every decent person.

Will this get proper BBC coverage, or be swept under the carpet like the Nathan Gill story?
