They're just mad because they don't get to air their personal opinions without the nod from someone above them.

Maybe the sneering "upwards" (working class to upper/middle) comes from the hundreds of years of sneering "downwards" (upper/middle to working).

An illegal war by USA & Israel, propped up by missions from UK air bases.

Supported by Nigel Farage.

Over 1000 civilians dead & now the threat of global economic fallout. Trump's disaster makes us all less safe, less secure - and we will remember those who backed it.

Reform UK Ltd are a wholly owned subsidiary of Global MAGA btw. Farage is the last chance for them to capture the UK. The next election is his ONLY shot.

They've got zero chance of finding someone with the same charisma afterwards. Same with Trump, which is why they're moving SO fast over there.

Also, a successful centre-left government cannot be allowed to prosper lest other countries get the same idea.

Cryptocurrency backed by Farage donor is used for Russian war effort, investigators say Tether tokens found to facilitate scheme that enables sanctions evasion and launders money for the Kremlin

James: Christopher Harborne doesn't just "have links" to cryptocurrency. He's one of the biggest investors in "Tether", which is a stablecoin Nazi Nigel has shilled for a while now.

Seriously, she's one of the best.

It all makes sense now. The manufactured hatred for Keir Starmer has been fomented for moments EXACTLY like the one we're in now.

Global MAGA (incl. Putin) require a pliant UK for total control the Anglo-American propaganda narrative.

Not enough space to deep dive here, but the dots connect.

“Regime change” was born in Iran in 1953, but the illusion that it’s cost-free died long ago.

These interventions bring unpredictable, painful consequences.

Tim Stanley is okay but Hitchens is long gone.

It's a possibility that must be considered.

The current head of MI6 is of Russian origin. For precautionary reasons, if nothing else, she should have been rejected.

It feels to me like Farage is being protected somehow.

Some of his money laundering exploits are happening in plain sight.

I remember hearing something about his largest Cameo (business) payments coming from LA, New York and San Francisco.

War fuels debate in Cyprus over UK military bases “British Bases Out” is the slogan of Cypriot protesters after a drone strike targeted the RAF Akrotiri airbase.

Another wholly organic anti-British/anti-Starmer protest surfaces:

I didn't hear that - what did he say?

I've never agreed with Ali Miraj as much as I have done in the last fortnight. Will it last?

Today, he's completely right about Blair's criticism of Starmer: It feels like a way of him justifying his own toxic war in Iraq and generally toxic legacy.

@lbc.co.uk

Even Blair's at it.

Great thread here.

As @lewisgoodall.com's show just underlined, we're watching treacherous British figures acting in broad daylight (Truss, Farage and all of the right wing media) and it doesn't feel like we can do much about it.

Same happened in the USA and now they're in charge.

Nigel Farage said today, I’m not interested in public opinion. Just think about that for a while.

So now they're releasing #Epstein Files to distract from the War?

Okay.

No, AI is not coming for your developer job, regardless of the nonsense the hype mongers are pushing. (I'm talking just about developer jobs—it obviously impacts other areas.) That's not to say the layoffs aren't real, but rather that the corporations are hiding normal corporate behavior behind

The answer to my question is: YES. They made the same mistake as Putin and now they're on course to lose a war.

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

If she was given £40k by the government, Scumbag Ferrari would be cheerleading calls against people like her.

The hypocrisy of these morons is staggering.

Shelagh just cited a Netherlands based polling company "Gamaan" who conducted a survey of Iranians, of which 77% wanted regime change.

In a nutshell: Gamaan is a questionable source at best. It's run by a man who's a clear opponent of the regime.

@lbc.co.uk

Prev. caller to Shelagh is a perfect example of a normal guy who's had his brain boiled by propaganda.

He's talked himself into supporting an illegal war by piecing together a bunch of possibilities and hunches and relying on the idea that "there must be a plan".

Netanyahu has one, for sure.

Pleased that Simon Marks now has an informal 15 minute slot on James's show on Fridays.

Systemically yeah, but individuals can change these thoughts with effective therapy and education.

It's true!

@mrjamesob.bsky.social's first hour.

I wholly agree.
