The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

Awful of the BBC.
How can they distribute a video that clearly shows that the official US government narrative is a lie without also stating that it's a lie?
There aren't two sides to every story.
Two news angles, yes:
- Reality of what happened.
- Official lying cover-up.
But not two sides.

The BBC coverage is absolutely terrible.
It leads on "sharply contested narratives"
It has a dramatic skew to the US government
It has posted the video but has failed to report on what it shows: it shows the US govt account is untrue

People want to be listened to, not talked at. They have been starved of this very fundamental need, and instead fed hate, division and a steady stream of “them and us” rhetoric. This is the vacuum ZP is filling, by connecting with real people and real values, and Labour should be taking notes.
Labour are shocked - because people are ready for hope, but Labour tells us there's no alternative.

Even as more Government Ministers acknowledge the damage of Brexit, there is still no clear plan to repair the barriers between the UK and the world’s largest free market. Rejoining the Customs Union and Single Market is the only credible route to growth.
