Hear hear! Report news, stop generating tittle tattle.
Message to the Media:
Try as hard as you might the government cannot be changed until there’s an election. Get on with it and shut the hell up and let them get on with rebuilding our country. Don’t like it go get a different job and let someone who likes our country do yours.

The fact that the BBC has made serious culpable errors does not negate the point that there is a real and concerted right-wing media campaign to destroy it. Both points can be true at the same time and the campaign would not end even if the errors did.

Have to say.. very tired of this now. We all know Brexit is a shitshow. Nothing is better. No one is happier.
No one who really cared about our country or understood how anything actually worked would do this and then stand around scratching their heads at the mess.

Very amusing to watch Reform complain about all the things wrong with the UK - every one caused by Brexit - without actually mentioning Brexit, as if they happened by magic.

![Under-fire Reform MP is not
'genuinely' racist, says Farage
Extract:
Nigel Farage said he is "very unhappy" with a Reform MP for claiming there were too many black and Asian people in adverts, but said he did not believe that she was "genuinely racist".
The Reform UK leader said that Sarah Pochin's remarks were "ugly" and
"taken on their own could be read to be very, very unpleasant indeed".
", but he
would not be taking further action against her.
He said: "I don't like the way in which she did it. I am very unhappy with her indeed, [and] if I felt the intention was deliberately and genuinely racist.! would have taken a different course.
He said that her comments should be taken in the context of "DEl madness".
He added: *I understand the basic point, but the way she put it, the way she worded it, was wrong and was ugly, and if I thought that the intention behind it was racist, I would have taken a lot more action than I have to date." Pochin was accused of "shocking racism" by the prime minister for the re marks made on Saturday in responseto a viewer on a Talk TV phone-in. The caller had complained that the demographics of advertising "don't represent what this country looks like".
Pochin said the viewer was "absolute-ly right", adding: "It drives me mad when I see adverts full of black people, full of Asian people".
". She said: "It
doesn't reflect our society and I feel that your average white person, average white family, is not represented any more. How many times do you look at a TV advert and you think that there is not a single white person on it?"
Sir Keir Starmer said that Pochin's views were the kind that will tear our country apart*. He told the BBC that the incident *tells you everything about Reform."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:c4xtyto7nrklhfkroyrsce2w/bafkreiajrgt6kz6ubgevdj5m3k35piccuwgkoe54zddjxg7mk7em6rikbm@jpeg)
