For the record this a more full account of what he said. I don't support Labour but not because of partial quotes written as pro-Reform spin by the Daily Telegraph. www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/202...

Military Watch Magazine - Bias and Credibility QUESTIONABLE SOURCE A questionable source exhibits one or more of the following: extreme bias, consistent promotion of propaganda/conspiracies, poor or no

Google is feeding me Russian propaganda (with half assed concealment) in its news feed. There really isn't a single large digital publisher that isn't completely terrible. mediabiasfactcheck.com/military-wat...

Incredibly stupid decision, there is simply no reason to do this and every reason not to.

I don't think we understand just how bad the decline of the Internet is to knowledge.

3 years ago, I could perform a very basic search in any engine and get an absurd number of relevant links, research articles, etc.

Today, I can perform the same search and find absolutely nothing.

Yeah it's a funky font. The i is weirdly dropped and it does make "rage bait" look like "rage bart".

Read his own reply to the post...

RFK Jr: We need to stop trusting the experts... Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy, it's a feature of religion and totalitarianism.

regime propaganda site cannot countenance counter info

You can stick this up your arse sideways. I’d sooner do time

Seconded

I’d sooner gargle prussic acid than watch this exploitative clickbait culture war shit

'Do better': Fury after BBC found out over Reform coverage

EXCLUSIVE: Concerns have been raised over Nigel Farage being 'thrust into living rooms' without scrutiny after a study revealed the BBC featured Reform UK in a quarter of News at Ten bulletins in six months

Net migration is falling, and that's good? Explain why.

Migration is essential: we literally cannot do without it The Guardian published these maps projecting changes in the population of countries and regions within Europe by 2100 yesterday. This is the map of population projection based on no migration taking place: This is the alternative map presuming that migration does occur: The underlying data looks like this, and is almost staggering in...

'As the maps make very clear, migration has to happen.
Just look at Scotland, for example. The forecast indicated by this map is that its population could at least halve by 2100 without inward migration...'

This guy risked his own safety to stand up for refugees. The animal flagshaggers wanted to beat him up for it. Luckily, he could get to the police. These are the thugs that Starmer refuses to condemn. This guy has more courage than the whole Blue Labour cabinet together.

Instead of delivering support on the cost of living, Westminster is busy demonising people who seek sanctuary.

I will have no part in it.

Our Saltire is a flag of welcome - and refugees are welcome here in Scotland.

“In the face of genocide, there can be no business as usual. We will pause new awards of public money to arms companies whose products or services are provided to countries where there is plausible #evidence of #genocide being committed by that country. That will include Israel.”
—First Minister 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

"I'm ringing the alarm bell for our values, for our common humanity, for our commitment to the oppressed and for those seeking sanctuary"

I applaud Scotland's First Minister @johnswinney.bsky.social

This is exactly what needed said. A vital antidote to hateful political rhetoric from Westminster

Ooo but he used "coterminous" he must be clever and not at all a wanker.

The Tories made crossing in small boats illegal in 2023 and Labour have developed great enthusiasm for it since they gained power. So Susanna Reid is not wrong if she is referring to refugees who came that way, however, the legality of the 2023 act itself under international law is not convincing.

Remember when Cameron was going to reform the EU so all the halfwits here who listen to Farage would change their minds about Brexit? Similar vibes.

A 1 second look at those pictures tells you they are AI generated.

This a million times

“The BBC’s own “verify” feature also hides the fact that it’s not even a record for an equivalent period.

“But the 50,000 figure for a 403-day period is not a record. It was higher in September 2023, for example”

Well hidden, of course”

The BBC being all impartial and objective.

Class. You know what's really going to fix the internet? Sorting out those bastards at Wikipedia, for running a vast and free user-fact-checked information site dependably for the last two decades. Well done everyone.

countries which are operating within the parameters of the laws of war and international humanitarian law don't make sure no one is alive to report what they are doing

A twitter/X post from Keir Starmer's account, with screenshot of a video of people seeking asylum being detained, and the wording Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer I said that if you enter this country on a small boat, you will face detention and return. I meant it.

Would anyone care to remind the former Human Rights Barrister Keir Starmer that penalising people seeking asylum for their manner of entry is against international law? Not to mention how grotesque it is that the Prime Minister is sharing videos of people being detained.

They should have voted against, it's not like the Scottish media struggles to confect sticks to beat the SNP with. But it obviously wouldn't have altered the result (385/26) and for me that's a key point, if they might have swung the vote it would be "shameful" as it was to abstain was just wrong.
