Because the BBC exists to read out press releases from Tufton Street and avoid acknowledging the existence of, never mind the content of, dissenting voices.
I'd have thought as a Beeb fan you'd know this by now?

That and waking up at 3am on Monday morning with a feeling of incipient dread and the dreamt words 'roll for initiative' echoing around your brain. I swear that DM could manifest himself as the Cheshire cat (no cat, just the smile) in my dreams...

That's because ethnostates are a racist artefact of a (thankfully) bygone age where unelected priests controlled who had rights and who did not, who was legitimate and who was not, etc.
Meanwhile Israel's actions are antithetical to the Judaism they purport to represent and defend.

I realise you don't have a lot going on in your life, and that you spend your time doing Sky-wide searches for comments about Russia, Ukraine and NATO to reply to, as you seem to think you have an expertise on the matter.
But the insults and aggression just showed your true, grubby colours.
Muted.

And there is the American response...
THIS is why NATO is a failure and Europe is alarmed.
Must be nice to live in such a black and white world. What a pity it's all just badly written propaganda. Dems seem to think the bad stuff started with Trump. The rest of the world aren't blinkered that way.

cracks in a dying NATO framework.
I don't view German rearmament in itself as alarming, I am disappointed that is a unilateral, piecemeal action rather than part of a larger project envisioning a post-NATO Europe, defended against belligerence but open to peace and cooperation.

And use that to end NATO and replace it with a pan-European defence organisation which could defuse the current situation, and perhaps in time even expand to include Russia as a member (even bringing Russia into the EU one day).
This is a moment for radical action, not wallpapering over...

So it's obvious that those states with the means are going to rearm. The created threat has become a real threat (note: children, don't tease the dog), it's not now an option to ignore it.
My personal belief is that the EU should quickly move to federation to create a formal power block...

The current situation is the direct result of this very deliberate orchestration, coupled with the 'unexpected twist' of an US administration who are disinterested in sabre rattling, leaving European states who have cosied up to US hegemony as the price of 'defence' standing shivering and naked.

rubbing Putin's nose in the rejection, with bases and missile stations along Russia's borders, loudly and enthusiastically recruiting bordering states into NATO, and manipulating those states into becoming a 'buffer zone', even arranging changes of government where 'necessary'.

Putin *wanted* Russia to join NATO and made overtures to that effect. Instead of bringing Russia in as an ally (and ending the Cold/Tepid War completely), the military industrial complex valued the 'eternal threat' as a means to justify massive 'defence' spending.
NATO then set about...

Only just saw this, sorry.
Like all escalation to war, it was preventable. The lack of action to head off aggression before it starts leads to the necessity to defend against the aggression that inevitably comes along.
There was a golden opportunity when the Berlin Wall fell, and it was missed.

By 'refugee burden' they mean 'late stage capitalism', I assume.

He apologised for going along with the *Sun journalist*'s request to include self-esteem boosting (she said she was specifically feeling inadequate because of her small bust) in the hypnotherapy session.
The Sun made it about increasing bust size. That was and IS their invention.

It certainly would hold much more closely to the OPs point if it were hating Germans because of Hitler.
I guess that's why some things are 'protected characteristics' like nationality, religion or race. And others aren't, like being a Nazi.

True, but I would 'automagically' hate any Nazi, as soon as I knew they were one, even if they'd never to my knowledge participated in any of the Nazis' many atrocities.
Simply being 'in that club' is enough to warrant hostility, is the point I was attempting to make :)

He didn't, because he never offered any such thing.
The incident was a sting attempt by a journalist, who had already booked a session, and was actually about overall body image, not actual breast size.
The story you're propagating is from the Sun.
Like everything else they print, it's BS.
