According to my family and American friends they are already a fascist country under Trump . Look what is happening? Government suspended. Attacking blue states , ICE have no controls on their behaviour , people being taken off the streets and disappearing, and banning Black history etc .

The establishment and that includes the press and BBC are very selective they are terrified of ordinary people actually having power . So they hound the people who overcome hardship and come from a different class to them . Which paper is not owned by a right wing person ?

I expect they have been told to by Trump ! Israel has now given the excuse for not delivering all the aid and trying to stop Palestinians going back to their homes . On the fact he wants the remains of the other hostages .This is just a pause so all Palestinians can be moved . Really sad .

There will always be an excuse.

Nigel Farage's Admiration for Putin and 'Concern' for Russian Oligarchs Exposes His Fake Patriotism

The truth is Farage has only shown loyalty to one country in recent years, and it isn't Britain.

Some thoughts on Zach Polanski turning out to be rather good at this politics lark.

1. By raising issues like wealth tax, and Brexit, he has not so much shifted the Overton Window, as re-opened the awkward loo window that over-looked the garden, but has been rusted shut for the last decade

The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.

When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.

The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

Many on the right will try and belittle and undermine what’s happening.

But here’s the truth. Tens of thousands are joining Greens. Polls are at record highs. People are just starting to feel hope again.

Sadly I think you’re right . Somewhere he said vote for me and you won’t have to vote again .

🔥 In case you missed it…🔥

@zackpolanski.bsky.social used his QT appearance last week to talk about the case for a #WealthTax, and to remind us we shouldn’t be intimidated by the empty threats of a minority of greedy vested interests.

@patmillsuk.bsky.social are happy to pay their fair share.

I do so admire this young generation taking on the older generation. They are the future not the old style politicians. I’m 83 and they would have my vote .

That New York Times story lots of people are sharing today about Farage's ties to US anti-abortion groups was first reported by @mc00.bsky.social on Byline Times a year ago bylinetimes.com/2024/11/29/n...

Always remember ...
Brexit was simply the first salvo in a Putin-backed attack upon the West. The same battle is now being fought throughout Europe. If the UK turns its back on Brexit and rejoins the EU, it will be seen as a victory for the whole of Europe against the rise of fascism. Pick a side.

How does Farage get away with it?

Just what is behind the apparent popularity of the self-appointed “man of the people”?
