Centrist. London. Pro EU. Rejoiner. Democracy is under threat, not only from the dictators & authoritarians that occupy the planet, but also from within existing democracies. Private power + wealth is being used to overturn & threaten our democracy.

This is the same group that seems to have an open invitation to appear on every single BBC political programme going, without ever declaring their funding

The BBC know exactly what they are and what their game is. That's why they get frequent invites to spin their poison, without ever exposing their real motives. If the public knew, they'd be turned off by them.

FDR experienced what sort of people they are. They are now in power in the US. Corruption on a grand scale, with those people/forces enriching themselves whilst trampling over the Constitution & people's rights. The citizens have the power to stop this. They have a vote, but many are lazy & venal.

Amnesty International: Alligator Alcatraz 'torture' puts detainees 'in the box' A global human rights organization is alleging inhumane treatment of detainees at Alligator Alcatraz, claiming some are subject to what they say is "torture."

Florida is reaching new lows. Why would anyone live and work in Florida. I guess it is a fully adapted orange state now.

Over a 30 year career, I thought about resigning several times, but worked through the tough times & never did take the plunge. I'm glad I didn't quit, as things got better & I got older & calmer. I put my job into some perspective, that it wasn't the be all/end all in life. I enjoyed it to the end.

The biggest fear is at the next general election, when the right-wing media will switch up a gear with a torrent of anti Govt propaganda, lies & spin. They're not interested in truth, or facts. The record of the Govt may be superb, but the media will ignore it. Brexit was won by similar methods.

Their domination of the media is unparalleled. It includes the BBC, which is tainted with senior ex-GB News bosses, now holding similar roles inside the BBC. It is a worrying trend and come the next general election, their influence and power may swing the result towards Reform/Tories.

The Trump clock is ticking down. Everday the world is blessed, that another one has passed, with the ultimate aim of returning to decency, morality, respect, tolerance, compassion, epathy honesty and civilisation.

Some will agree with you, others will not. Australia, did it to protect the mental health of children & to prevent bullying, harmful content and grooming. It's a restriction on freedom. The question is where is the line to be drawn?. Rogue providers are not easy to control based in other countries.

I'm with you on it. Legislation has been introduced on porn and age related restrictions thru' all of the EU and the UK. Australia has set the tone by banning social media to those under 16. There is no restriction on lies and deception in the political sphere (yet).

Oh dear. How far has the US fallen. From the best, to the worst in just 80 years. A leader of the free world, to a weak, co-conspirator with dictators and convicted criminal. The history books will tell a sorry tale. The end of the 'Great Experiment'?.

The Trump-effect on European travellers to America, and even fewer people will want to go if they have to hand over years of their social media to the U.S. too.

I agree, put the responsibility on the providers. When Musk took over Twitter, he butchered the oversight dept, that monitored bad behaviour/lies/complaints. We see the result. The Eu should say, if you want to operate inside the EU you'll have to meet the same safety criteria of the old Twitter.
