Russia in NATO? Lol

For the nth time: reporters writing on far-right gadfly Ivan Raiklin must include that he's of Russian origin - it matters since he was almost certainly recruited & groomed as an influencer, then platformed in 2020. Born in the US to Russian emigre parents, spent summer 2002 in Moscow. 1/

Years before Hitler invaded the USSR, Nazi agents planted fake disloyalty rumors about Stalin’s top generals on Vienna phone lines they knew Soviets had tapped. They convinced Stalin to purge & shoot his own best generals before the outbreak of war. Imagine Putin’s FSB planting gossip today…🤔

What we have seen for the last 8 months was Trump consistently doing what he can to protect Russia from real sanctions.

Any media outlet reporting that Trump is punishing Russia with his moves today is either lying or stupid.

Trump is not hammering Russia with these tariffs on India. They don’t start for 21 days (if at all) and China buys more Russian oil than India. This is typical Trump. Pretend to be tough on Russia, but not really

'Holding ones wrist can indicate control or domination. This is especially true when it's done in a forceful or possessive way.'

My god.

Hunt was my least favourite Tory.
Still is tbf.

Hunt knew those tax reductions were unaffordable, but did them deliberately to scupper any incoming government, it was political sabotage, and he should be held accountable.

Did anyone benefit from Brexit except the very richest people in the UK? Fuck no.

Did it help with borders & immigration? Absolutely not.

Did it set off 'the boats' in which Farage & his billionaire donors can get the people angry enough in order to gain full power? Hell yes.

He's found his calling = Get 'the plebs' angry about immigration and him & his posh-boys take the gold.

Look at what we all gave up in Brexit, now look at his smug fkn face. (⬇️)

That's why his billionaire donors love him.

Daily Mail: Night Anti-Hate Marchers Faced Down The Thugs. As shops are boarded up across UK, far-right protests thwarted"

Daily Mirror front-page. Standing Together. Thousands of anti-racism protestors turn out to thwart far right thugs

"Around 15,000 people went out to show practical solidarity. But millions more were glad that they did"

"For one day, the front-pages of the Daily Mail and the Daily Mirror were hard to tell apart.That brief outbreak of unity feels like a distant memory now"

1/2 Pretty sure we've all fallen in to Farage's quicksand...again.
As long as the conversation is about immigration & his name pops up, he wins.
Debunking his lies? Doesn't matter.
Left leaning liberals losing their shit over his performative hatred, massive bonus for him....

2/2 As soon as his true intentions are revealed (massive cuts to healthcare & social services to pay for huge tax breaks for the wealthiest 1%) he wriggles. He squirms like the little posh boy worm he is.

No-one would vote to shred their own families security if they weren't blinded by his con.

He'd do it for 6 Tennents & a lighter.

The Guardian opinion headline reads: “Brexit has been a resounding disaster. Starmer must find the courage to change course” by Ed Davey.

Brexit isn’t working, and the British people know it. They're fed up with the damage caused by the deal forced on us by Conservative party.

Keir Starmer must show some courage and set Britain on a clear path to a new customs union with the EU by 2030.

Brexit has been a resounding disaster. Starmer must find the courage to change course | Ed Davey Poll after poll shows most voters think leaving the EU has been a failure. Closer ties with Europe would bring huge rewards, says Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey

Close friend says what ...

As Farage's star continues to rise I can't help but detect exactly the same mistakes being made all over again. In so routinely prioritising Farage's rhetoric and personality over the substance of his policies, actions and record, the British press is once again failing to properly hold to account a man who the opinion polls now suggest has a serious chance of becoming Prime Minister in just a few years time. If that chance does become a reality then he will quickly prove, as Johnson did before him, how utterly unsuited he would be for such a position. Yet by that point much of the damage of a Farage premiership to our national public services, economy and global reputation will already have been done, with many of the same news organisations who helped to get him to that point, only belatedly bothering to point out why he had never been suitable for the job in the first place.

“Whatever happens, the damage that has already been done by the constant media indulgence of Farage and his divisive, inflammatory and outright racist views will take many years for this country to recover from.”

Yes. A disgraceful, unforgivable failure.
