  1. Unless we collectively suddenly learn how to vote I'm afraid you're right 😢

  2. It's been getting progressively worse for 4½ decades, I can see why you're not expecting change. 😢

  3. ​ @billB101 thank you for the reminder of Establishment propaganda.

  4. ​ @inguzwulf I don't think "well meaning" has applied in the UK since 1979 & there was precious little evidence of it in the centuries before though we did have a brief interlude after 1945.

  5. Sykes-Picot in 1916, Britain fostering Zíonísm from 1917, repeatedly redrawing the map of the Middle East & re-establishing leaderships in the region well into the 1930s might be considered more than just "meddling". Kurdistan & Mesopotamia still haven't reappeared on the maps. Aden, the most important port outside the British Isles (from the Empire's point of view) has been repeatedly trashed...

  6. ​ @robinbeckford there never was a "far left" in UK politics, well, at least since the Levellers

  7. ​ @bernardfox9078 only 8% voted for the credible alternative. 😢

  8. ​ @robertreynolds580 Russia invaded countries in 1918, '21, '24, '29, '38, '39, '40, '42, '44, '45, '50, '53, '56, '60, '67, '68, '69, '75, '77, '79, '90, '92, 2008, '14, '15, '16 & '22, why single out that one?

  9. ​ @erongi233 Gorbachev served as General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from 1985 and additionally as head of state beginning in 1988, as Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet from 1988 to 1989, Chairman of the Supreme Soviet from 1989 to 1990 and the president of the Soviet Union from 1990 to 1991 (- Wikipedia) so was leader from 1985 to the dissolution. Ok, Carter was before that but not as far before as you suggest.

  10. And on the 6th what then?

  11. Watch Bloomberg's "the Big Brexit Short" for your first clues as to what he's about! 😮

  12. PPE from Oxbridge would be the certification. Senior mainstream journalists follow the same route into politics.

  13. ​ @twanderson7756 I take it you haven't seen/read Bloomberg's "the Big Brexit Short"? 😂

  14. ​ @1292liam he's happy being CEO of the International Rescue Committee (& doing a reasonable job of it).

  15. @user-lx6pk9os2d Trump is the result of an engineered cult (which cost Robert Mercer $millions), ​ @RichardJMurphy doesn't give sufficient credence to cults so missed it.

  16. If you give the title & channel name as well as some comment about why you posted that you might get a few people to click on your link.

  17. Centrist parties stand for election every time, if you choose to accept the mainstream/Establishment narrative that they don't exist that's down to you.

  18. is there a problem with the phrasing?

  19. Oh dear, I hope you survive your life lessons 😢

  20. ​ @neilblackburn6869 which is why the right encourages poverty & maintains less than 100% employment.

  21. "turds float to the top" comes to mind

  22. ​ @jamesgravil9162 the grinding paste driving that was the Treaty of Versailles, something was going to happen in that period regardless of the activities of the Austrian painter. "Sanctions" currently scattered across the globe may well prove to be equally abrasive. 😢

  23. This is a channel, his site is even more interesting.

  24. You had the option to vote for Stein yet you voted for the uniparty the same as all but 8% of your compatriots 😢

  25. there is plenty of scope for more 😢

  26. Yes that is exactly the government's responsibility! 😮

  27. That would be an interesting collaboration!

  28. 2. has happened, 3. & 4. are happening

  29. ​ @MyKharli the 2016 & ongoing Brexit & Trump cults are the work of Canadian hedgefund billionaire Robert (& now his daughter Rebekah) Mercer, his tool AggregateIQ (Cambridge Analytica) & his minion Steve Bannon (who has been seen fomenting the right wing across the EU) ably assisted by Russian propaganda & Wagner's St Petersburg "troll farm/factory".

  30. ​ @snowiecat456 "we will support you"!?! 😂 Carla Denyer and Adrian Ramsay have been in full view since October 2021 & their party since 1984, Arthur Scargill & his party have been available since 1996, do you need a longer list of candidates you have completely ignored?

  31. ​ @LeicesterMike ísrel have been power brokers in Westminster for at least a century without spending much money.

  32. @mishapurser4439 the "hard left" does not exist in UK politics, don't mistake the shift in the Overton Window for a redefinition of "left" & "right". "Left" is still "for the people" & "Right" is still "for business", all UK parties recognize that "business" is a required part of the economy & don't seek to take more than the "natural monopolies" into State control.

  33. ​ @JohnPark-xf2gq *perfect - "prefect" is something entirely different.

  34. Your parties are filled with ídíots, why wouldn't ours be too?

  35. Do you have proposals for achieving that?

  36. Just as plausible an idea is teaching the entire electorate how to vote. No, I have no proposals how to achieve that either.

  37. ​ @Contextualiser16-tn8nd the legal tool we have is "Misconduct In Public Office" which risks a minimum £4million per attempt. We saw the case against Johnson thrown out by a bent Judge after the money had been spent & the watchdog just let it go. No, legal channels have proven unusable, this leaves us with the traditional "pitchforks & firebrands" approach which we're not yet ready for. Perhaps if another million are killed by government policies?

  38. ...but taking an educated guess can sometimes avoid nasty surprises.

  39. Giving heed or credence to a membership is not a required part of a political party (as Starmer ably demonstrates) all that's required is sufficient funding to stand candidates at elections. Not exactly democratic but it's what we've got.

  40. Farage & Trump are cults, both driven to an extent by Cambridge Analytica & their successors, this is not normal politics, sense makes little difference. 😢
    1
  41. The parties have no need to empathize with the people while the people believe that the 2 Establishment parties are the only option. 😢

  42. ​ @robinbeckford the party which was pro- business to the extent that it increased inequality to the highest level in centuries & killed a million citizens with its policies can reasonably be taken as "far right" & then there's Reform Ltd...
