Fascism occurs twice: first as the tragedy of a Second World War started by men who fought the First and knowingly chose slaughter, then as the farce of an ignorant draft dodger trying to provoke a war against his own people.

@anooshc.bsky.social and @rmcunliffe.bsky.social dissect the reFUK coverage reasonably.

But I really can’t fathom why our journalists aren’t using their platforms to discuss Farage being a Russian asset. A traitor. A threat to national security. He should be in the dock.

Thank you Marina! We need to stand behind Zach. No doubt the billionaire press will do all they can to tear him down

If we're naming everybody's "descent" now, here's mine.

My ancestors were Norman French. They came over in small boats in 1066.

How about you?

It also highlights, and this is a description of reality not a criticism of we residents, how much harder it is to hold on to the truth now. *Even*, and I think this is really important, for seasoned & brilliant professionals.

Zack Polanski’s response to the Manchester terror attack has been a masterclass in mature statesmanship.

Soulful, human, eloquent, empathetic, nuanced, confident and focused on healing.

And bold. It has shone in contrast to so much weaponising or ill thought through commentary.

Thank you Zack. πŸ’ͺ

"To my colleagues in mainstream media: your silence is complicity. Your 'boths-sides-ism' is complicty. Your euphemisms for genocide is complicity."

Cameron was the worst ever... Until May. May was the worst ever... Until Johnson. Johnson was the worst ever... Until Truss. Truss was the worst ever.
Sunak wasn't the worst ever. I believe this is what they call a "low bar".

Yes I’d like to see her thrown out and stripped of honours. I’d like to see criminal proceedings against her and ALL the rest of the profiteers from the β€œVIP” scheme. Then I’d REALLY like to see Johnson’s government members facing charges for setting up such a clearly fraudulent scheme. That’ll do.
