According to the right & far right in the UK, the BBC is run by lefties. But at the UK version of the Oscars last night, it allowed the racist term n@@@@r to be aired & not edited out but it did edit out a Free Palestine comment by one of the winners. Go figure.

It’s class struggle by incredibly brave, largely, working class survivors of Epstein’s abuse. Who’d of thought these women would shake empires! ❀️

More importantly when they chose Mandelson!

Sighs that some fall for liberal hypocrisy of Carney who calls ideology out while reproducing it. admits the β€œrules-based order” was selective & hegemonic, then rebrands same imperial political economy as values-based realism. It’s not honesty; it’s a software update for the same operating system

Some good news for a change. The parliamentary Dutch racist party falls apart.

So it’s ok for a country to invade another country and kidnap its president? I hope that the rest of the world is paying attention. I have a president . . .

It’s more to do with 1. Reasserting US dominance in its own backyard. 2. A warning to all its critics near & far (leftist Mexico to China). 3. Competing with China for LA resources. 4. Distraction at home from poor polls, Epstein fines etc…

I hate the modern day chain letter more than the old one as it amplifies so much more. It also reveals how little basic, basic research skills people have. That’s not their fault, but surely schools are now teaching this stuff?

One wonders where liberals like him will be when fascism comes knocking in the UK under Faragism.

Really good never seen one of your vids before. I think US is far more of a threat than China, esp militarily the gap is huge. A little naive about how progressive UN & EU are, of course in comparison to Trumpism, but that’s a v low bar!

As Trumps polling and support keeps falling, as the MAGA movement starts infighting, and as the Epstein files keep unravelling, he creates distraction by illegally attacking Venezuela.

But the far right activists and those in their orbit who are driving the agenda on this, don’t care about net migration or indeed data, it’s about the politics of emotion.
