I don't think they have been either naive or weak. They have delivered their centre right, pro-genocide agenda unstintingly and with great alacrity. They have destroyed the Labour Party and utterly alienated its core supporters!

A bit fucking rich coming from the increasingly hysterical Daily Torygraph!

We have not been polite, the media and successive governments have protected him and suppressed the information.

NBC is no longer a news organisation. It is a right-wing propaganda machine.

Americans do not have the strength, resilience or courage to effectively resist the authoritarian oppression of the Trump regime. Consequently the U.S is neither brave nor free. Posting on Bluesk social media will achieve nothing. It is what actions you take to resist that will define your future.

You might protest peacefully, the regime will not respond peacefully. To win you will need more than brave words!
