a bit of empathy wouldn’t go amiss, it’s very hard for him to accept his side lost

Nigel Farage Listens to the News

mere days away from JD Vance telling Henry Nowak’s parents to be careful when talking about Henry Nowak matters

Notably open rebuke to JD Vance from Downing Street tonight.

mere days away from JD Vance telling Henry Nowak’s parents to be careful when talking about Henry Nowak matters

and yet he never seems very interested when white people commit murder, which apparently also happens

‘we’ll make the abbatoir work for the cows’

oh no www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

the entirety of the shambolic and racist-appeasing discourse over the last few days has been Stewart Lee’s taxi driver routine from 2014

here's a great example of a political journalist tip-toeing around calling anyone far-right when they or their cause demonstrably is, one reason why the standard of political reporting is in such a state: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

British newspaper headline, huge: IS THIS INSANE FAR RIGHT CONSPIRACY THEORY ACTUALLY TRUE? British newspaper subhead, in the smallest font possible: no, but we thought we’d discuss it at length anyway

impossible, I wasn’t alive in 1961

The government choosing not to sanction or properly regulate X, a far-right propaganda machine which foments hate & is owned by a white supremacist who has called for the overthrow of this government, is super duper cool

good to see the government hasn’t or chooses not to recognise where ‘a lot of people’ get their information is a polluted & toxic environment; it’s like saying you shouldn’t close a well that’s poisoning people because ‘a lot of people’ get their water there

The Ovaltine Office

pretty sure it’s completely legal to swipe Meta’s glasses off someone’s face and grind them into the dirt to protect yourself

can the entire planet sue Meta for invasion of privacy, asking for a planet

All about the framing. Same people who were losing their minds about Starmer's *declared* small donations, screeching "WHAT INFLUENCE WAS LABOUR PEER BUYING IN EXCHANGE FOR A SUIT AND SOME EYEGLASSES???", now present Farage accepting millions of dodgy foreign crypto like some sort of achievement.

Reform UK’s #Makerfield Candidate Rob Kenyon can’t answer a simple question. This isn’t new politics, it’s dodging any fair scrutiny. Share far and wide!

As yet another sign of the fast-moving window of what is seemingly acceptable on the UK right, this article does not once mention that Lowe leads a far right party which does not disavow support from open racists and antisemites.

They are all very deliberately ignoring the express wishes of Henry Nowak's family; the judge's sentencing report & the obvious, albeit brief, consequences of a crime being reported exclusively by a lying associate of the perpetrator. It may feel futile but this has to be repeated again & again.

so a vast territory of British media, from print to broadcast, is now firing out far-right theories and treating them as ‘legitimate concerns’ when they are nothing of the sort and do not apply to what has taken place. A total collapse of standards which legitimises the far-right

The right in this country have totally lost it, a complete and utter collapse of any kind of cordon sanitaire with the far right in favour of gutter racism. It's been slow, but the grinding move from "anti-white racism is real" from far right agitprop to Times leader is complete.

THERE'S NO DEBATE, STOP TRYING TO MAKE DEBATE HAPPEN

he’s three-quarters dead but a shot of misogyny keeps him going like a defibrillator

any applicant must have the proper quarryfications

this should be the clip which ends his career

it's not fucking political, Chris, it's honouring the family's request and recognising red fucking lines, something you seem incapable of

?! why is the BBC political editor saying that opposition leaders choosing not to exploit a tragedy are being party political in making that choice? is it impossible they just believe what they’re saying?

this is how it's fucking done

The total line up is at least Laurence Fox, Tommy Robinson, Nick Tenconi, Paul Golding, and Luke Jahn. This was not community anger at policing. It was an organized, national far-right riot.

I am really, really worried about how little mainstream broadcasters and politicians are pushing back against explicit racism. It isn’t difficult to contextualise or challenge with facts. They manage it on other topics.

Not sure why the news right now isn't full of the people obviously identifiable from riot footage getting door knocked and dragged out in their keks.

fixed it for you

an enormous and influential tract of British media has no interest in addressing the fact Nigel Farage is a far-right agitator, and that is a complete failure

That includes media who show very little interest in the communities who had the far right rampaging through their streets.

The racists heard Farage’s racism & followed his cry

the failure to stand up to his racism and inflammatory words is shameful

it appears BBC News are just going to ignore Farage's racist and inflammatory language

oh gr8 now there's another BBC news radio bulletin with an extended clip of Farage and his criticisms, but nothing of his racist and inflammatory remarks, why the fuck are we hearing his fucking takes

The BBC have invented Goodwin's Law: any political discussion programme must include a Nazi.

This is disgusting and disgraceful.

reporting on a prominent politician using racist and inflammtory language isn't breaking impartiality, as not reporting it provides cover and even legitimises that language

I want the Prime Minister on the television condemning this in explicit terms and removing the whip from any Blue Labour MP who tries to whitewash this.

Nigel Farage is, and always has been, a far right politician and it is an utter disgrace that the media has long since failed to call him that.

When the father of a murdered son makes a public statement saying "we do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension", then I believe it's incumbent on any news outlet reporting on Farage's comments to ensure people know he has chosen to disregard the family's wishes.

jesus christ a BBC radio news bulletin uses a clip of Henry Zeffman referencing Farage's video and there's no mention of his outright racism or inflammatory language, focusing instead on a claim of "two-tier policing", jesus christ, absolutely hopeless

I don't think that there can be any doubt that this shift even further to the right is being spurred on by Elon Musk and his control of X (and backing for Restore Britain). It is the most glaring evidence of foreign interference in British politics. It's right there in front of us - and the Govt.
