I canโt tell you how much it distresses me that journalism like this gets so little attention in this county. If I write about some culture war nonsense, itโs gobbled up. But work like this which questions the very nature of our democracy - and is about life and death? Itโs so often met with silence
Torture, terror and extrajudicial executions: the Dirty War in Northern Ireland and my search for truth For decades Iโve investigated collusion between British military intelligence and terrorists One question has always remained: given the crimes committed how can Britain call itself a democracy?
No sense of humour then

Another good documentary exposing the rise of far-right extreamists in the UK. CW. Racial hatred, threatening speech, hate speech.
LGBTQ+ people need to watch this. Turning Point UK 'protests' eg the anti-drag mobilisations at Honor Oak in south London - these need looked at again. TPUK were involved in deals to hire paramilitary groups and paid for agitators and violence for political purposes. Tenconi linked too. [1/2]

Iโd like to know WHEN the architects of this catastrophe will be held to account! Is there no accountability for rich/privileged ppl? Ppl died because the Tory gov failed the population. Workers died because they were not protected. NO WONDER ppl have lost faith in politics/the establishment

This a million times. People of colour being dragged on to debate maniacs about imaginary labels & race science is an abomination. proper โhow German are youโ Nazi shit Note that people like me with white migrant parentage never asked to defend our identity Englishness. Is. A. Made. Up. Thing
Dear tv and radio producers. Thankyou for the invitation. But, no, I do not want to appear on your show to defend the idea that I am English, after 50 years of living and working here, because the increasingly feral right want to turn this into a "debate" and you cannot see how you're being played

If @zackpolanski.bsky.social was a crap leader, would mainstream media want his resignation? Of course not. They want his resignation because he is a very good leader who is going to be a thorn in the side of Bully Burnham. And make it hard for him to adopt the rightwing policies he wants to.
