The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing. A.E. I'm very political. I'm very much on the left. #FBPE

Dear BBC, and other main media platforms,

After the Brexit disaster we hoped that you learnt the lesson, but that's not the case so here we are again.

Reform UK have only 5 MPs!
Can you please stop broadcasting Nagel Farage dog whistles!

Sincerely yours long suffering nation.

While the BBC News continues with constant exposure of Nigel Farage's gaslighting let's not forget the same scenario brought us Brexit.

Now we're leaving in age when the president of the most powerful country can gleefully say it's ok to support genocide,

when Trump can say whatever he wants with absolute impunity and receive applause from the world leaders.

All honour is gone.

Looking at Elon Musk, he's striped off most important things in life,
love, character, family, real friends, the Bob Marley quote comes to mind:

"Some people are so poor, all they have is money."

Most people are not stupid and can see what Farage is doing with his only policy, targeting immigration, will do nothing to improve people’s lives.

Greta Thunberg has just been released and she is back on the warpath, exactly like our leaders should be.

Israel will never silence her or the billions who oppose them.

The haves have plenty, the have nots have next to nothing.
People had enough.
Farage comes along with a very simple excuse: asylum seekers and immigration is to blame.
The media is playing along with it. Opposition playing to his tune.

Can we blame people for believing in that simple narrative?

Amra Watson @amrawatson.bsky.social · 22d

The Labour has only been 15 months in the govt with a 4 year mandate left, but the opposition, the media treatment is as if they have been 14 years in the govt and GE is only a few months away, a GE they are going to lose and Farage is going to win?
If only this level of scrutiny was always present.

Are there enough gullible people in the country who are willing to trust Nigel Farage once again after the Brexit disaster?

Will the BBC, and other main media platforms stop constantly broadcasting Nagel Farage / Reform dog whistles?

Question to Tommy Robinson's flag shaggers:
Is your energy and water bill costing you any less?
Is NHS getting any more funding?
No.
Try to think for yourself!
You may come to the conclusion that wanting black and brown people out won't improve your life, just like Brexit didn't.

Amra Watson @amrawatson.bsky.social · Sep 1

We can't have logical discussion on immigration.
The whole conversion is based on misinformation that comes from the billionaires who own the press.
We've been constantly told to look over there at the people who have much less than us, while billionaires are rubbing their hands.

Andrew Neil should start with an apology for advocateing Brexit, and a big portion of humble pie before he gets to talk about Britain's decline.

Trump who touts himself as a peacemaker, a dealmaker leaves Alaska with neither.

As Trump says that there is no deal with Putin, the part of the world population who believed that boasting about the nonexistent credentials are good enough, left asking questions:
What happened?

Most of Nigel Farage's interactions: he starts dog wiseling, if he's pushed for the solution - he doesn't have a clue.

Latest example: Farage vows to repeal the Online Safety Act, when pushed about what he'll do- he would find other ways to protect children but don’t know how.

Palestinians are dying of starvation while the world inaction allows it.

No people should have to beg the world to see their suffering as real.
The silence, the justifications, the apathy, they’re all part of the violence.

The release of the Epstein client list is the holy grail for the Maga movement! So how are the MAGA morons going to process this?

There was no imbecility, absolutely none that they were not capable of swallowing from Trump.

Are they capable of developing thought that's not Trump's?

As Netanyahu, a wanted war criminal nominates Trump, convicted felon, for the Nobel Peace Prize, the best way to describe what's happening in US and to summarise this clusterfuck is to quote George Orwell:

WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

Wanted war criminal is nominating the convicted felon for the Nobel Peace Prize!?

Grotesque is the only word to describe it.

To all newly recruited Reform party believers here are lessons to learn!

'If a clown moves into a palace, the clown does not become a king -- the palace becomes a circus.'

Darren Grimes tried to use the same excuse that didn't work for Nigel Farage. 👇

So we seen today Rachel Reeves crying at #PMQs.

No person with any sense of decency takes pleasure in seeing another human being so clearly upset.

But, we have to put things into prospective and think about how all the people that have to rely on pip felt.

23th June - 9 years on from the Brexit vote, when the country made decision to throw away a mutual & beneficial partnership, wilfully damaged its economy & influence because of made-up promises by knowing liars.
Now we are all the poorer for it. We told you so doesn't quite do it.

I'm not a fan of Keir Starmer, in fact I don't like him at all. The same goes with Rachel Reeves. But, after giving Tories 14 years to continually fail, I'm at odds for the vitrol Labour receiving for the U-turn on winter fuel allowance?

Remember we had to endure all of this.👇
