Like many, disillusioned with a certain other platform! I probably talk far too much politics, but will be happy to engage in something a little lighter.
Bewildered by people who don't pay attention, and think they've made a brilliant point! #FBPE

Please @channel4news.bsky.social you are better than this: don't just stick a microphone into the faces of 'talking heads' in the street for their Budget opinions; unless you're going to question their knowledge gaps.

US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth says ALL orders should be considered legal.
Apparently, he's unaware of the Nuremberg trials.
There's an aptly-timed movie streaming now about how the phrase "I was only following orders" assumed so much significance in international law.
He should watch it.

So let’s stick to measurable facts
During 10 yrs of debate about Brexit, BBC QuestionTime had Britain’s Members of the European Parliament on the show 50 times
Every single one was from the pro Brexit minority
47 were from UKIP/BP
23 times Farage
