🤔 ICYMI: Nigel Farage leads a political party. He’s a sitting MP. And he now hosts his own weekly primetime show on GB News. 🚨Broadcasters are required to present news in an impartial manner, without political bias. 👇 Add your name to demand that Ofcom takes immediate action

... that asserted the BBC's agnosticism on whether those things are real and people should be afraid of them. We are living The Age of Argumentum ad Populum, because nobody is prepared to say "you are wrong" to a large enough group. During this entire Piddington episode, I did not see a single...

£5million for his security and Farage pretends he’s been threatened and won’t turn up to thank the people who managed his monstrous tantrum by-election, staying up through the night counting votes… or the voters who let him get away with his gross abuse of power. From start to end, an epic disgrace.
I dislike Habib’s politics intensely, but worth a listen
The Reform donations story is obviously exploding right now, and it just so happened that on Thursday I spoke to Ben Habib, Reform's former deputy leader, about what he knew and what he thinks of Farage now. It's worth a watch, it's pretty excoriating. Some key bits: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qq_L...

Johnson and his cronies didn't 'waste' £10bn. They did exactly what they intended to; feathered the nests of their friends and supporters at the expense of doctors, nurses and care workers. Someone should go to jail for this.

How surprising that this multimillionaire, multi-home owning, MAGA-Putin-crypto-and-fossil-fuel-loving, employment-and-human-rights-hating, rule-dodging, grifting, hypocritical, racist, lying, brexity, corrupt, far-right, moaning, misogynistic “man-of-the-people” has turned out to be so unpopular.
Nigel Farage will soon be the least popular political party leader in the UK by some margin. The confidence trick isn't working any more www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/the-nigel-...

Tech billionaires are getting richer while we pay the price for the real-world harm their platforms cause. The "neutral host" loophole lets them off the hook for pushing dangerous content. MPs are demanding emergency laws to make them pay. Add your name: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

A social media ban on retired father-in-laws would be good
Why is the focus always on children, and not the colossal number of retirees having their brains rotted by far right AI slop conspiracy guff? The fundamental misunderstanding about this whole moral panic is that once you hit 18 you somehow gain lifetime immunity from The Bad Stuff™.

Treating any communication platform that algorithmically selects which content to put in front of a user as a publisher, and legally responsible for that content, is the screamingly obvious solution that will deeply upset maybe seven companies and make life considerably better.
One of the obvious problems with a under-16 social media ban is that it won't work. (60%+ of Australian under-16s are still using these platforms). But it will make people feel like something has been done so they won't tackle the content, which is the real issue.

Same age, same experience. It appears it only ever went underground.
I'm 56. Racism was everywhere when I was a kid. People just did it, without comment. Normalised. In the 90s political correctness (later: Woke) appeared, and racism withdrew. I'm not saying it vanished. But by 2015, it was socially unacceptable, even in the rough areas I grew up in. Then Brexit.
Brilliant as always!

Officially my most popular video ever. [took a lot of time, effort, writing, re-writing, editing but very happy with how it turned out, proof that a bit of effort delivers rewards i guess] If you haven't given it a look, give it a peak. I personally love the ending. youtu.be/O5ohobqUHsU

Lawrence details how Donald disgraced himself as the only president who refused to honor American military deaths as he also “tried to raise money over the bodies of the war dead in a war he started… Who else is going to die and have their deaths ignored by the president who sent them into war?”
