This is important! Please read and share! It is disgraceful that MSM are in thrall to the right-wing, authoritarian, dictatorial elements to such an extent that no checks on power are imposed. Our democracy is in peril and MSM are actively pushing for its demise!

The contact of Reform UK’s Russian puppet Nathan Gill is linked to efforts to destabilise the US and Ukraine. Why, even now, is no one asking questions?

Gill, former leader in Wales of Nigel Farage's party, admits taking bribes to help Putin. And his Russian connection - the Ukrainian politician Oleh Voloshyn - in turn has links to a key figure wante...

A pub “gone woke”, activist judges, a “revenge” plot by Ursula von der Leyen and a Lithuanian Ballerina personally trying to bring down Western Civilisation - this week’s headlines truly outdid themselves.

All in Bearly Newsworthy, the round-up of what happened in the news this week (or didn't).

"Citizens are given a 12-digit ID number, to prove their status when they open bank accts or apply for state benefits" Isn't that what National Insurance number is for? Except it doesn't replace the utility bill requirement. Just take that away and you've got it!

Ahh, the ability to spell or string a coherent sentence together are highly overrated, innit! In fact, it's a matter of pride in some quarters to be unable to arrange words in a comprehensible manner, gets you in with the natives, apparently!

A bigger issue than him spouting nonsense is that he isn't challenged or corrected. All these interviews do is provide a soapbox for mind-numbing right-wing propaganda?! Where is Ofcom and what's the point of it?🤬

People thinking that Reform's suggestions of getting rid of legal immigrants will fix the NHS have no idea how much it will hurt healthcare. Immigrants & children of immigrants keep the NHS functioning. Same with social care.

Leaving ECHR will be in breach of Good Friday agreement & will undermine N Ireland peace. + it will end all security cooperation w/EU and possibly TCA itself. & it will damage our international standing & domestic affairs w/no impact on illegal migration!

A torygraph article saying fartage is in thrall to the lieutenant colonel of kgb! Whatever next! But suggesting that he "believes" russ**n propaganda is a tad generous. Really, he just does what will bring him the most exposure! On that, stop supposing he were a PM!🤬

COVID cases are up, to qualify for free vaccination you have to be >75 and if you want to pay for one, it's £99! Who is going to pay that? Untold amount of money was spent to develop the vaccines & now nobody can have them while the virus continues to mutate & spread! 🤔🙄🤬

I wonder how many of fartage's followers know anything about Argentina, its govt, economy, or how ppl really live there. Oh, how easy it is to sell 💩to the ignorant!

Alex Andreou @sturdyalex.bsky.social · 16d

Javier Milei had to beg a bail-out and already needs another. Argentina's economy is in a tailspin. Gov't bonds and peso in freefall. People starving, throwing rocks at him.

Farage last year: "He's amazing. It's Thatcherism on steroids. Cutting and slashing expenditure. That's leadership."

There is no such thing as absolute freedom. If you are free to do whatever you want, you will be infringing on the rights of someone else. Regs exist to protect the rights of those who would be steamrolled by the rich & powerful in pursuit of 💵. So, no, the newspapers should not be absolutely free!
