How often do we hear perspectives like Giel's in Britain's mainstream press? 🤔

Byline Times @bylinetimes.bsky.social · 18h

Giel, an asylum seeker who fled the South Sudanese Civil War, shared his story with us last night.

"When that conflict happened, it happened as a political misunderstanding. It's just like what's going on right now in the UK."

“Some business tycoon in London benefits from the conflict in South Sudan – but again I was the one pushed away, told I don’t belong here, that I’m ruining your country, while your weapons and bombs destroyed my home and my livelihood.”

How did billions of £££ worth of unused #PPE literally go up in smoke?

@russellscott1.bsky.social wonders why no one has been held to account for the UK's biggest ever waste of taxpayer's money.

A unique space for a different kind of political dialogue.

Last night, Byline Times returned to the Cockpit Theatre to explore “The Lure of Othering” – the carousel of scapegoats distorting our politics and dividing our communities.

Next up: The Lure of Class (Nov 10)

So MI5 have found Nathan Gill a serious threat to the UK,and the mainstream media find this a none story? No doubt MI5 have Nigel Farage on their radar considering the close links he has to Mr Gill.

In any normally functioning democracy, Farage’s political career would now be over. You would have to invoke unbelievable levels of naivety and stupidity for Farage to dodge this one - and sadly for him such qualities are not on the person specification for the job of Prime Minister.

There’s a task that shouldn’t be left to @bylinetimes.bsky.social alone: The fourth estate has a job to do in defence of freedom and democracy. Are they too keen to report on the chaos of a Reform government (until that time when mass deportations and arrest of “dissidents” begins?) Too late then.
