It’s largely thanks to the BBC we had Brexit

I’d like this PoS to see the inside of a prison cell and wipe that smug grin off his over privileged lying face

East Oxford is classic white working class traditionally. Big car industry area Definitely ripe for old white racists. They’d have bought those houses for pennies back in the 70’s

It’s definitely not like that in Winchester.

Er, I’m not doing that and I’m under pressure like many people. But then I work. I suspect a lot of these people are on benefits and these have been cut and so they blame asylum seekers rather than get off their fat lazy racist arses and get a job
Ben Sowton (@bensowton.bsky.social) reply parent
At least we know where racists live. Funny how it’s run down areas, council estates. I’d love to know how many of these ‘patriots’ are on benefits

Is English your second language as you seem to be struggling with understanding what she said.
Ben Sowton (@bensowton.bsky.social) reply parent
She actually said in the tweet ‘if that makes me a racist so be it’
Ben Sowton (@bensowton.bsky.social) reply parent
That’s not how the law works. Personally I don’t think she should have had a custodial sentence. A community service order to work with asylum seekers would have been a better option and ordered to have anti racism treatment
Ben Sowton (@bensowton.bsky.social) reply parent
Of course he did. Like Trump, he’s a thin skinned, man baby. Lier, racist, populist, narcissist. And the uneducated love him, because it gives permission for their base instincts. And kids from these homes are the same.
Ben Sowton (@bensowton.bsky.social) reply parent
Are you seriously defending her comment? ‘No evidence she incited anyone’ so if I shoot at you and miss, no harm done? Grow up
Ben Sowton (@bensowton.bsky.social) reply parent
It’s pure MEGA, Make England Great Again, not Great Britain/UK. This is pure English Nationalist nonsense. Same playbook as MAGA. ‘Stop the boats in 2 weeks’ (see stopping Ukraine war in one day). It’s lies, it’s propaganda, fear, conspiracy, antiestablishment (😂). And the uneducated white love it
Ben Sowton (@bensowton.bsky.social) reply parent
This is not a serious party. But nor is MAGA and look at America
Ben Sowton (@bensowton.bsky.social) reply parent
Don’t forget Hitler was elected before he started killing his own countrymen. If there was any doubt before that Trump is a dangerous fascist dictator, there is none now.

JD Vance, Vice President of America stating that state sanctioned murders of citizens from another country without any proof whatsoever is absolutely fine. This is a war crime. The Hague for Vance Trump and Hegseth

Jesus. These people. They are just horrible thugs. This is Faridge’s supporter club.
Ben Sowton (@bensowton.bsky.social) reply parent
None of these people fought in WWII. We’re talking 50 to 70 years old (I’m 59 and think I’m young😂) The young who support Faridge probably live in these homes

These organs only function with readership. It seems the appetite for even more absurd, xenophobic, jingoistic rhetoric is there and so being fed to these hungry old white racists. These propaganda tools are delivering red meat and the bloodier the better. This is on ‘us’
Ben Sowton (@bensowton.bsky.social) reply parent
The absurdity of the Daily Mail and the pathetic weak fearful old white folk who absorb and regurgitate its filth is a stain on our country. The least patriotic, the most divisive, the most untrue and ultimately the most dangerous propaganda tool of the establishment that wants to keep wealth &power

You can’t blame the LD for the coalition. They did their best in stopping the Tories from going full austerity. They were junior partners.

It’s written by Alistair Heath, possibly the most stupid and ‘wrongest’ man in media. The only people who take any notice of him are already boiled gammons so no harm done

It’s fair to say that Kamala and Hilary have been right about everything. The Heritage Foundation wants to turn 🇺🇸 back to the days when white men had all the power. They want to be American Taliban ruling 🇺🇸 . Just a small group of elites with all the wealth and power. It’s delusional and doomed

But the spell will be broken. MAGA will realise they’ve been had. They’ll go back to inbreeding and moonshine and cease to vote. Dems need to put the failed red states into special measures, run by the federal government and loose their franchise. If you can’t pay your way you don’t have a say

All I can do is send my love and pray you’re all okay. At the same time urge our governments to stop pussyfooting around and give you the tools to defend yourselves against the tyranny of the invaders

Labour needs to flood the zone with all the positive things it’s doing. Unless you’re in a handful of places no one gives a shit about migration. Sack the Tories from the BBC get them to talk about what matters. Rubbish the DM and DT. Take a leaf out of Gavin Nusome’s book. GROW A FUCKING PAIR

100%. Zelenskyy is a true leader of our time. He does need to head off accusations of trying to control the corruption investigations and organising some form of vote. He needs a new mandate only to silence Trump and Putin. It’s unfair but that’s where we are

Something very comforting seeing Nigel Slater still working his magic. The antidote to reading Daily Mail front pages. Shows there’s still a part of British that’s honest, true and genuinely patriotic. Proud to be British

I think this statement is a perfect summary of the state of the USA. Pro life MAGA only care about foetuses - it controls women. Have no interest in what happens to babies once they’re born Cut health care, cut education, endorse automatic weapons, deport parents and children, endorse execution

Ben Sowton (@bensowton.bsky.social) reply parent
Absolutely. It’s no longer the case of the media and journalists holding people to account. Just look at yesterday’s DM front page. It’s toxic. At least the Mail is consistent. They did support Hitler after all. Amazing how all the ‘patriots’ forget this

They certainly give Farage disproportionate airtime. They’d argue they give equal voice to the argument. 99 economists said Brexit would be a disaster, 1 doesn’t (Minford) so both sides get equal voice. Utterly ridiculous

Only bad news, fear and sensationalism sells. People want to read the next lunatic thing the likes of Farage and Trump say. Sad but that’s where we are. the BBC are not for profit but the ridiculous charter that gives equal voice to both sides of the argument is why we had Brexit and next Reform
