Because the flaw of democracy is that voters by and large are morons.

Water companies are the reason the UK has little Mafia problems. Why form a criminal enterprise when you can enrich yourself through perfectly legal corruption?

An ill defined question. BBC news at ten and Newsnight have very little bias. Flagship programmes such as Question Time have mostly become advertising platforms for more and more extreme right views.

These days if I want to listen to quality BBC reporting I switch on the @newsagents.bsky.social . The BBC for years has pandered to the far right, delegitimised itself by doing it and now the fascists are killing the last shred of BBC credibility

The editing was stupid by Panorama. There is enough proof for Trump's crimes without selective editing. It is unfathomable that the far-right can throw the whole BBC into crisis for stupid editing. The BBC for years tried to peddle to the far-right. But you can never satisfy this beast.

The BBC directorship has brought it upon itself. For years they tried to please the far right, forgetting that nothing ever satisfies the fascists.

This includes refereeing for its journals, panel work and any other activity it supports. I believe in firewalls against fascism. The @royalsociety.org is on the wrong side of this firewall. 5/5.

The @royalsociety.org has chosen a wrong and dangerous path. It has done a lot of good for British science in the past. But aquiesing to fascism destroys all of this. I can in no good conscience collaborate with such an organisation. 4/

By refusing to see the difference, the @royalsociety.org has turned itself into a willing helper of fascism. When it comes to the enemies of democracy there is no middle ground. You either fight them or you are one of them. Without institutions fighting for democracy, it can‘t survive. 3/

Yet, what does the RS do? It releases a statement that it has to accept the political leanings of its fellows. True, if these are based on democratic traditions. Falls, when they are promoting outright terrorism. 2/

When will we start treating those that destroy our planet as terrorists?

She must be right. She had an offer from Stanford.

Londoner here who voted three times for a Muslim mayor. Our small far right minority in London keeps shouting about our mayor and threatening to leave. Unfortunately, they never do.
