Evidence please.

“Here Farage is, in Gill’s office, with Voloshyn’s wife Nadia, on the day Gill makes an intervention on behalf of Medvedchuk’s channels, with an employee of one of those channels, whose husband started bribing Gill to make these statements 6 days earlier”

a real water is wet scenario here

If you have tears to weep - shed them in mocking laughter.

It's all this monster deserves.

As red flags go, it doesn’t get any redder or in your face than this.

All politicians, commentators and organisations who care about our democracy should heed the warning, call it out and then *do something* about it.

First stop. Leave X.

Our country is under attack by the US Christian Right.

Maybe being either powerful multi billionaires, or having the ear of them, and having direct influence on the US VP might be something to do with it.

Trump and complex realities don’t go together. Seems his erratic tariff impulses are ruining the American automotive industry. Beneficiaries? Probably China?

I recently sat down with three leaders who are part of the @obamafoundation.bsky.social's alumni network to hear more about their work to strengthen democracy in Hungary and Poland. They’re an example for us all. Take a look:

Looks like the “AI is hitting new grad jobs, better be a plumber” narrative isn’t right (though prob not a bad idea to become a plumber).

🧪 This is a dangerous move 😡

The Meritocracy!

Jared Kushner in Tel Aviv: "Instead of replicating the barbarism of the enemy, you chose to be exceptional, you chose to stand for the values that you stand for, and I couldn't be prouder to be a friend of Israel."

Hilarious!

I'm team "books Covid vaccine the minute they're available" due to facts like this.

What’s wrong with this?

A man born in Pretoria, 1971, left for Canada in 1989, might want to wind his neck in (though apartheid South Africa was not necessarily too traumatic place for those who could benefit from apartheid if could manage to resist being too troubled by the racist principles of the state and society)

Yep. As a humanist (“secular humanist“ in US and, presumably New Zealand, terms) I defend Brian Tamaki’s right to express his views. They‘re hateful, & anyone platforming him (eg Tommy Robinson) deserves condemnation. But, for the same reason we don’t have blasphemy laws, they’re not illegal.

The picture of Farage with the T shirt from Gill’s briber’s wife, taken the day Gill appears her Pro Russian TV channel, is taken in Gill’s office

Yes. All of those are grossly offensive, and very undesirable in our plural society. But aren't they in the same category as "F...the Conservatives; F...Labour; F...Chelsea; F...Starmer...

Ok @ofcom.bsky.social please do something.

Having said that, the “Kings Army” website makes entertaining reading - military metaphor on steroids. thekingsarmy.com

This just looks sad. Meanwhile, there are bigger things to worry about: www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...
