It is hard to stay optimistic when there is a tsunami of disinformation pouring through our world. We have to withdraw from the media sometimes for the sake of sanity, sit back and try to think out the most effective strategy to stop the drift towards fascism
10% of Reform Ltd supporters believe that to be a good British citizen it is important “to have white skin”.
To have “white skin” it is necessary to either faint or to be freshly dead.
I think they meant pink skin

Air pollution from use of high sulphur oil
Above all, water shortages from falling rainfall, droughts alternating with floods
Theocracy failing?

Incredible that @bbcnews is reporting that Reform Ltd is calling for Al Fattah to have his citizenship removed over anti-Zionism tweets for which he has apologised, when Reform is led by a man who made anti-Semitic and pro-Holocaust utterances for which he has not apologised

Farage tries to dismiss his schoolboy interactions as “banter”.
Saying “Gas them all” and “SSSSS” to Jewish students is not “banter” it is verbal bullying of the worst kind, and all professional journalists must demand that he apologise every time they interview him

“What disturbs us is less what happened years ago, hurtful as it was, but rather your refusal to acknowledge your past behaviour or apologise for it”
If Farage was made to acknowledge his past behaviour or apologise for it, his career would have ended years ago.
