While I tend to agree that Britain should have avoided getting into a fight with Russia and should have pressed for negotiations, the news analysis is crude and the choice of language shows it is motivated. The channel has an axe to grind.
Wion is a Indian Hindu channel which has a grudge against UK, US and Europe. Their presentation is shoddy and typically Indian; it gives the impression all the presenters desperately want to present the UK in the worst possible light.
I would like to know how India is doing - it has no energy, it needs LPG, how does that cost ? It has to suffer the same high prices. India's economy went down during the Modi era, and took a big hit during Covid due to his incompetence, and it would have gone down further due to the current rise in fuel prices. Can Wion make a similar video on what Modi is doing ? It would not dare. India had a great run with its economy under the previous moderate PM Singh (a Sikh, not a Hindu). This was between 2004-2014. But after that, Modi's obsession is to project Hindu greatness but he is clueless about the economy.
I notice the same attitude in other Indian channels - Crux, HT, TFI Global. They are crowing over the west. The reason can be traced to the rise of Hindu nationalism. On the one hand, they want India to be accepted as a democracy and a global power, but since Modi came to power, the Hindus now indulge in fascist intimidation of non-Hindus through vulgar and violent displays of 'Hindu nationalism' . They are anti-west only because the west has criticised the violent attacks against minorities in India. This makes them boil and this is the reason for how UK's economic woes are presented in this video.
The UK and India are trying to negotiate a trade deal - for which India demands more visas for Indians to study and work in UK, and immigrate. If India is such a global power as the Hindu nationalists imagine, why do they want visas for the UK ? Priti Patel who was hobnobbing with the Hindu nationalists in India allowed a lot of them to come here. Some of the militant Hindu youth from India created a riot in Leicester last month. At the same time, a Hindu temple in Birmingham had invited a Hindu extremist politician who organised a riot against minorities in India. Fortunately, the Birmingham police got wind of it and cancelled the Hindu extremist politician's visit and avoided another riot. The Hindu right is boiling at the BBC and The Guardian for linking (correctly) the Leicester riots to the Hindu fascists in India. The Indian media like Wion are looking at ways to run down the UK and the west. The war in Ukraine and the blow back on the economies of the west gives them a golden opportunity.
Suella Braverman the Home Secretary is of Indian origin, but she is unlike Priti Patel, she is of Christian descent. She does not want to give India free passage to export Hindu fascists to the UK. Truss wants to go soft on immigration from India for a trade deal, but it would be a serious mistake to over rule Suella Braverman. The India of today is not the same as it was before. Hindu militants rule, and they want to export their aggression against minorities outside. It is good that Sunak was not made PM, as he also showed the tendency to hobnob with India's Hindu fascists (to get the UK's Hindu vote) and he would have imported India's problems to the UK. It is time for Truss to wake up.
Take this presentation by Wion with a pinch of salt.
