Yes Pete! Love that 👏👏👏

Agreed. We're full. We're overflowing with crooks as it is and we can't take any more. These freeloaders need to piss off back to where they came from

Yup, @zackpolanski.bsky.social is the man ✊️

James Kennedy ✊️ @jameskennedy.bsky.social · 3d

Yep, and those!

James Kennedy ✊️ @jameskennedy.bsky.social · 3d

Yep, I feel the same way. I'm getting a lot of hope though from the popularity of people like Zack Polanksi - we've desperately needed a strong voice on the left for so long and seeing the Greens growing as much as they as they are is making me feel hope for the first time in a long time

I 100% agree

James Kennedy ✊️ @jameskennedy.bsky.social · 3d

Makes even more sense!

James Kennedy ✊️ @jameskennedy.bsky.social · 3d

I agree, Stop The Boats

Bloody oligarchs coming over 'ere on their mega yachts, stealing our public assets, influencing our government, exploiting our work force, dumping their waste into our rivers & expecting the tax payer to foot the bill for their billion pound government contracts & bail outs

'H' as the symbol for Hydrogen, the most abundant element in the universe is starting to feel like it should stand for Hypocrisy instead...

Elon Musk urging thousands of borderline radicals to 'fight or die' over video link at a London protest last week

Unfortunately for the rest of us, it seems lots of people are absolutely fucking nuts

James Kennedy ✊️ @jameskennedy.bsky.social · 28d

Pffff exactly. So many contradictions and so much hypocrisy, I don't know where to begin!

Ha ha!

James Kennedy ✊️ @jameskennedy.bsky.social · 28d

Surely, when the richest man on earth urges the working class to 'fight' from behind the safety of a video camera a thousand miles away from the batons, pepper spray and prison time - surely then, you know you’re being played like a puppet. Surely...

True, they are definitely dominating the tech medium with click farms, bots and algorithms. They play dirty and they shout the loudest and will stomp over anyone to get what they want. Problem is, thats what we're up against and I can't see anyone who's able to face them yet

James Kennedy ✊️ @jameskennedy.bsky.social · Sep 11

Trump, Farage, Musk et al. I didn't say 'good' leaders but still strong characters who inspire people to revere and follow them.

James Kennedy ✊️ @jameskennedy.bsky.social · Sep 11

I can think of other things to call them too...

James Kennedy ✊️ @jameskennedy.bsky.social · Sep 11

Where are the inspiring leaders on the Left who wouldn't get stomped all over by the bullies on the Right?

James Kennedy ✊️ @jameskennedy.bsky.social · Sep 11

Yup

James Kennedy ✊️ @jameskennedy.bsky.social · Sep 11

Great point mate. The Right have easy answers and easy targets. People want that

James Kennedy ✊️ @jameskennedy.bsky.social · Sep 11

For some reason though, too many people would rather believe that it's refugees in small boats ruining their lives and not the Billionaires. This has been a narrative for over 100 years and its power is undiminished 🤯

James Kennedy ✊️ @jameskennedy.bsky.social · Sep 11

I totally agree. How, though? I'm feeling very defeated at the moment

The Right have got leaders.
The Left have got committees.

I think this is a genuine problem that needs to be addressed if we're going to offer effective opposition to the behemoth before us.
