Migrants aren’t the problem. Unfettered capitalism, obscene wealth, massive inequality and man-made climate change are. But how much easier it is to believe that someone from ‘over there’ is ruining your life. Migration is what we, as a species, have done for millennia

Timeline cleanse. Remember, amongst the chaos, take some time to appreciate nature. Great for stress and it pisses the r/w off 😁

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

Bluesky, find an example of an entitled, arrogant, wealthy ‘entrepreneur’ with zero humanity or self awareness…oh look, James Dyson. Perfect 👌

Easy for a billionaire to tell the rest of us that Brexit was worth it even though it made us poorer.

Sir James Dyson says Brexit was worth it – even if it’s made people poorer

Britain’s fourth-wealthiest man has argued it is better to be ‘independent’ than tied to the EU

Those few, oblivious, irony-free words of Dyson’s say absolutely everything about the the cesspit that is British ‘society’ and why we need change- desperately

We suffered the same during the Brexit ‘debate’ - our media utterly failed to ask the right questions, expose the lies AND the liars

Not the BBC- completely hobbled by the old Tory government and now just a mouthpiece for ReformUK (our version of MAGA)

That Farage is treated seriously shows how degraded the politics in the UK habe become.
Barring absolute far right racists, anyone with half a brain cell can see this latest raft of proposals would utterly destroy the UK, as well as the lives of migrants. 1/

PPE scandal: TV coverage - let's stick this powerful, enraging documentary on at quarter past ten on a Sunday night.

The Covid Contracts: Follow the Money review – a devastating picture of the biggest spending scandal ever

This rigorous look at the Tories’ ‘VIP lane’ for PPE suppliers during Covid raises questions about the motivations of those involved – ones that are almost too disgusting to contemplate

There are still some pockets of good journalism, but the editorial bias is just awful

RosyChipshop @rosychipshop.bsky.social · Sep 22

The timing struck me as ‘interesting’. Normally, ITV’s big exposé documentaries are aired becore the news. Shameful cowardice? Pressure from above ?

This should have been a moment of profound national learning - about the corruption that serves our elite - but the Cabinet Office which ran the VIP Lane sought to close the discussion down and Labour unaccountably let them. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Reform will apparently pledge today that they'd abolish indefinite leave to remain - including retrospectively, to people already granted it. Obviously this is a moral abomination but it is also a practical and legal impossibility.

This is happening because the Government has failed for the past year to make a positive case for immigration and why we need people here. There are plenty of examples of economies that have collapsed - including our own after Brexit - when immigrants leave en masse. Google Uganda under Idi Amin.

Labour must finally stand up firmly against a Reform policy. Call it out for the obscenity it is. Starmer has recently finally spoken out against populism and division. What could be more populist and divisive than this? Nor for heaven's sake, don't dodge it, or excuse it. Challenge it.

This has to be a moment of reckoning. Broadcasters must focus on the practical consequences and make them clear. It would be utter, society altering chaos. That should dominate the approach, as it would coverage of any other party's policies.

Indeed. The massive flaw in these idiot racists’ ‘theories’ is they think they can just ‘deport’ people.To countries for which many have no legal, residency status and which have no obligation to take in deportees. Just pond scum-level rationale

I’m watching and it’s astounding. We all knew something like this was going on - but the extent of it! While so many were suffering, dying, sunk into loneliness - a few were absolutely RAKING IT IN. The COVID health crisis was a very, very lucrative opportunity for some.

🚨Our upcoming documentary on the VIP Lane made the ITV news this evening.

There’s a complete reluctance among the political class (of any persuasion) to prosecute their own for crimes committed in office. Almost as if they know they could easily be next; like breaking a gentleman’s agreement. Political office isn’t regarded as service, but as a door opener to £

Elon Musk openly called for violence on our streets yesterday.

I hope politicians from all parties come together to condemn his deeply dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric.

Britain must stand united against this clear attempt to undermine our democracy.
