Stephen Fry: “I’m deeply worried by the darkening shadow that’s going over the world, a shadow that we have to call fascism” Laura Kuenssberg: “You would use that word?” Stephen Fry: “Oh absolutely. It’s a cult of power; and power only speaks to power” #bbclaurak

What is her problem? She uses Conservative/Tory, Labour, SNP, Lib Dem etc... Fascism is another example of a collective ideology. Some people just shouldn't be political journalists if they don't understand political language.

She has shouted the words ‘far left’ around like audio confetti for years. Such a terrible failure as a journalist. Her right wing bias shows in everything sh’d does. I really object to paying for her salary, private healthcare and golden pension.

From today's perspective, it doesn't matter what you call them: fascists, Nazis, Bolsheviks, Christians, Islamists, MAGA. These all are mental pathologies, deliberately spread on people by accidentaly effective individuals who desire domination and enjoy violence.

The one hope the US had was that the military top brass understood where its loyalty lay: the Constitution. Not some syphillitic man baby and his cronies. That’s why they’ve removed all the top brass and replaced them with snivelling and compliant yes men. The US is now aligned with 🇷🇺 🇮🇷 🇰🇵

Alarm bells must be setting off in the US, this is against the constitution which every military personnel must uphold, at what point people wake up to this coup? This is a dictatorship not accountable to anyone! This so called 'democracy' is flawed in areas, so many questions, processes, checks etc

You'd think when Granddaddy migrated from Germany in the 30's cause he recognised what the Nazi's were and wanted no part of it, that she would have a keener sense of identifying & naming fascism when you see it.

You only have to watch the difference in Interview techniques used by Kuenssberg when interviewing the Labour minister and the Tory ex minister to see her bias. Stephen Fry gave her a lesson one which she would do well to follow. It's called honesty

I’m sorry it had to be Fry to introduce the concept of fascism to Laura. I for one am pretty worried by Fry’s failure (charitable version: dilemma-ridden hesitation in public) to stand up four-square for Stonewall and trans people. Some think the battle even for ‘gay liberation’ is over. It is not.

Big Tech is replacing governments in influence, shaping elections, speech, and even wars. Cambridge A showed how data manipulates voters, while Musk’s control of X and Starlink raises sovereignty concerns. As AI and automation grow, democracies risk becoming dependent on unelected tech oligarchs
