Sorry, yea my autism sometimes gets in the way of making sense ~ weirdly, at the time of writing, my words seem cogent. 😌

I genuinely believe that the new political battleground is authoritarian/libertarian and not left/right which is why centrists will confuse Polanski's clear leftwing libertarianism as right-wing. Or he's just a troll. 🧌

Blame the Morning Star! The UK's only Socialist daily publication. It's their story.

I'd argue it's Thatcherism/Reaganomics AKA Neoliberalism that's done that not right-wing populism. The argument whether Reform are populist is of course valid.

I actually didn't mean that Boom meme against you @sloanelysbeth.bsky.social I meant it against that Ryan bloke because I agree with your position on the License Fee. #whoops

Regardless of country of origin you should seek multiple sources with multiple PoV which will mean looking at news you find disagreeable. I'm leftwing but occasionally glance at Zerohedge, RT and Sputnik, as well as Guardian, BBC, UnHerd and New Statesman.

Dani Robertson has written a good book on the subject, 'All Through the Night'. I'm lucky to live in the North Wales dark sky AONB and appreciate the stars whenever there's a clear sky.

Morning Pete, I've taken on board what you wrote and yes, I don't doubt that whoever gets into power, despite their best interests soon learn that you do what you're told. Look at the 'mini-budget' to know that. Voters would not vote for Farage, or Corbyn if they didn't feel pissed off.

Thanks for writing such a measured reply. If you can't conceive of being part of a trade union or going on strike you'll never understand the appeal of Polanski and Farage, Brexit. I place all blame for our (UK's) plight at the feet of Thatcherism, neoliberalism and commercial banking. I'm autistic.

Farage pledges to take revenge on banks by scrapping their interest payments from Bank of England REFORM boss Nigel Farage has pledged to take personal revenge on the banking system by scrapping the interest payments the big banks get from the Bank of England.Mr Farage said the move would save £40...

They hate Farage and they hate Polanski because they hate the financial hand that grasps at our ability to thrive. #greedisntgood

Greens have more in common with Reform than any other party.

Cryptocurrencies are currencies though insofar as they're a 'thing' that two adults or more ascribe value to. That a Bitcoin cost $5 twenty years ago or $90000 a few months ago only indicates that two people agreed to exchange 5:1 or 90000:1 ~ I'd argue it reveals the problems with the USD more.

I'd absolutely love it if Spurs were in the Championship but I'll never want Man Utd to win but Spurs losing is a bonus.

It's a must-win, Forest at home after a trouncing versus Arsenal and a seeming Achilles Heel in Farke's new formation. We need a win.

He he, Leeds will either win, lose or draw whilst I'm in the air. Guess I'll find out at Manchester Airport.
