Another #PoliticLive. Another three right wingers. Another representative from the entirely, opaque, far right, neoliberal, IEA. And this our impartial, state broadcaster 🀣 @bbcnews-world-rss.bsky.social

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.Β 
Β 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Ridiculous and 'vile' headlines. Yet, broadcasters still entertain journalists from these rags on a regular basis on #PoliticsLive, and the like.

Trump hates 'insurrection' and "if protesters spit at the police we will hate them hard"

Remind us how many 'patriots' did he pardon for their part in the violent attack on the Capitol Building, 6th January. Public unrest that left 174 Police Officers injured?

Isn't there a slight contradiction?

In truth, history says we have had a lot of conflict with France over the centuries, but this is nothing but a cheap-shot at our FRIENDS across the channel. Why is the right wing bitter, pathetic, confrontational assholes when typing. Face them, and they are cowardly and hateful low-life’s. Wankers!

In 10 years time, these utter pricks will have conveniently forgotten this opposition, assuming closer ties to the EU work well - which they will. Small reminder of the Mail's track record - a litany of disgusting, disgraceful ineptitude and hatred...
