The media’s dangerous embrace of Farage: a critical look at BBC’s Question Time The BBC’s platforming of Nigel Farage on Question Time promotes divisive and misleading rhetoric, distorting the debate on immigration

Thanks! yorkshirebylines.co.uk/politics/the...

Some lesser known facts about the #USElection2024 that hardly anyone seems to know, and which are being wilfully suppressed, not least by Elon Musk.

"Half the people in America" did NOT vote for Trump. In fact, only 32.4% of eligible voters and just 17% of all men in America voted for Trump.

There is certainly at least some crossover with his writing and far-right rhetoric and disocourse. No doubt Charles Moore would object to that label. Some people suggest I'm a far left extremist. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Thanks - but my birthday is in July!

How should we respond to the recent riots and the return of the far-right as a political force? Sociologist Dr Russ Jackson on how Reform UK and the UK’s news media engage in the shameless normalisation of far-right discourse

Tremendous account of how the populist right has hijacked our political discourse - and what we can do about it - by @docrussjackson.bsky.social. Via @yorksbylines.bsky.social

What happens socially & politically in the US often happens in the UK soon after. We've got a short window to understand WHAT is happening in the US, WHY it's happening, & for the UK Govt to take action to limit further harm to our increasingly fragile democracy.

I'm mainly on X because I want to see what's being said, & also in the (I accept wildly optimistic) hope that occasionally arguments I offer may just convince some people to think differently.

Is there any point in me posting my threads on here in this format?

Thanks Doc!

Ha! I'm not entirely convinced as many people will be interested in far-right discourse! But we live in hope!

Thanks!
