This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. Iโ€™ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

I think this is right:
"We've slid into some form of authoritarianism," says Steven Levitsky, a professor of government at Harvard. "It is relatively mild compared to some others. It is certainly reversible, but we are no longer living in a liberal democracy."

Fifteen minutes east of Brighton

Even in this part of the world, this crap goes on

Brighton is a liberal enclave, in the burbs, the bigotry, once pushed to the shadows, rises

This whole episode is so well done. A good antidote to media which has immediately sought to flan tensions. Thoroughly recommend. open.spotify.com/episode/5J7Z...

Itโ€™s increasingly clear that convicted Russian influencer Nathan Gill was a senior member of Farageโ€™s entourage. (Banks and Wigmore were also in and out of the Russian embassy sharing FBI files, RT talking points, and discussing gold and diamond privatisation deals)
