How many people would trade likes and followers for making the world a better place?
Much of political comment here is recycled, renamed, rehashed from or uses MSM and thus still serves it.
Can we question the vanity of our politicians and media whilst seeking validation from strangers ourselves?

What did you do daddy during the culture wars that brought us to Neo-feudalism?
Well I used legacy media son for likes and followers.
You have no rights now because I helped a corrupt media eco system that helped install our glorious leader.
My validation by strangers worth more than freedom.

Instead of commenting on how bought and bent the media is.
Stop using it.
Anyone from the Sun, Telegraph, Spectator is not on our side. Never has been.
We're here today because of Tufton Street, big oil etc.
Dishonest journalism doesn't merit attention.

Stephen Miller repeatedly using tiny when talking about Greenland.
Think we all know what his problem is.
Once again a completely inadequate man desperately trying to overcome his shortcomings.
The blueprint for so many MAGA men.

Tory Laura has Farage on. Two enormous grifters I won't be watching.
Lisa Nandy supposedly the culture secretary helping the grift instead of making the BBC honest again.
Usual attention farmers will be on the hashtag.
Nothing will change.

Stumbled across the BBC's AI Decoded. Surprised to find Yanis Varoufakis was one of the guests.
Well done BBC. Someone of the left with intellectual heft given airtime.
Are Gibb et al on holiday?

Joe Rogan comparing ICE raids to the Gestapo is accurate but you helped put them there Joe.
If the jackboot fits, wear it.

As you already well know by now, it's all lies.

Every single thing anyone in this entire administration says is a lie.

All of it.

Every time.

It will not surprise you to learn that Toby Youngs 'Free Speech Union' has obtained a High Court injunction banning the publication of a list of its donors open.substack.com/pub/democrac...
Who funds the Free Speech Union?
Toby Young’s outfit went to court to hide its donors. Today we reveal that funders include US anti-abortion groups, Brexit politicians and Tufton Street insiders.

Large parts of the world have chosen to be ruled by the worst people imaginable.
Perhaps a media grown used to instilling hate of the other has instead helped nurtured self hatred.

Tony Blair on The Gaza Board Of Peace. Slow clap. What next Andrew Windsor hosting Junior Bake off.
2026 sort yourself out.

ICE out of Minnesota. When harm hits this state, communities show up for one another—rain or shine, heat or snow. Neighbors are demanding protection from a fascist regime and justice for Renee and all those killed by ICE. Footage: Jan. 10, 2026. #ChoosePeaceNotChaos

Avoid Tory Laura Kuenssberg whenever I can but caught her interview with Robert Jenrick.
Usual poor standard of journalism but revealing how upset she is that Jenrick is ruining the right.
Her investment in every sense in the right-wing is obvoius.

Reform reveal their new branding….

It’s clear: Nigel Farage’s Reform is just the same old Conservatives that ruined the country in the first place.
January 16, 2026 at 2:19 PM
Anyone thinking of voting Reform should look to the horrorshow America has become.
Narcissists like Trump, Farage, Jenrick can never have enough power, money or fame.
They will damage us and possibly worse.
Keep Reform out.

Machado press conference held in front of The Heritage Foundation logo.
Greed is driving this world into crisis.
Boycotting media and companies helping Trump is the duty of anyone interested in keeping democracy alive.

Bent British media happier going after TikTok than Musk.
Greed is ruining politics and media.
Cap doffers never make good journalists.

Fascinating to see Britain's largely right-wing media wrong footed by Jenrick defection.
Attack lines don't match across various newspapers and client journalists don't know who to pander to.
Can't bite the wrong hand, it may be feeding them.
Musks plans for a new party will further upset them.

It's a nice feeling not giving a hoot which right-wing shill Gibb chooses to replace Amol Rajan with.
Dumping radio4 today and its gatekeeper heavy thread one of best things I've done on-line lately.
Less bores. Hashtags easily become parochial backwaters devoid of independent thinking.

Sky doing it's bit for the broken Britain narrative. Largely ignored it under the long years of Tory rule.
Moan about net zero and Labour.
Who owns Sky?
Comcast. Who owns Comcast ? Vanguard and the ever present BlackRock.
Media is largely corporate propaganda.
Greed is all that matters to them.
January 16, 2026 at 7:54 AM
Let's park Chris Masons obvious right-wing bias and talk about his competence.
His analysis yesterday of Jenricks botched defection to Reform was superficial, cut and paste filler.
He costs us upwards of £270k a year.
He and similar deadwood like Justin Webb should be shown the door.

Settled down to watch last two episodes of the excellent Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and what have I got? Fucking snooker.
BBC sort yourselves out.
I'll get it elsewhere.
Useless.
