Although to be fair, 'truth' is highly subjective. The beeb reports current events while being really quite careful to avoid speculation. It's just that sometimes events occur that some find unpalatable, such as a Tory donor being outed as a rascist, while at other times a Labour politician randomly spouts drivel, which is obviously an entirely different matter. Depending on the flavour of crisps one finds to be superior.

If he'd donated a million quid to Labour, does anyone think the money would be returned ? The worst kind of tit-for-tat political slanging match. Wouldn't it be great if our government and His Majesty's loyal opposition gave as much attention to our country's real problems ? Rog Yeah, like the Tories downplayed Abbottgate. And the fact that Starmer gave thanks to the divine for gifting him a convenient excuse to bin her is neither here nor there.

I see the police, whilst widely ignoring placards and chanting calling for terrible things to happen to live Jews have now invented a new law 'tragedy chanting'. They've made several arrests relating to chants associated with events which took place decades ago. www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-manchester-68600056

Obviously. It seems you support one set of laws for one group, a different set for another. Grouping based on left of centre, or right. The more of your posts I read, the more I'm reminded of 1930's and 40's Germany.

Quelle surprise 🙄 BTW excellent example of the old adage, when you're losing an argument play the Nazi gambit.

Perhaps views such as right wing beliefs being evil, and a desire for the state to re-educate those of adult age who have the 'wrong' beliefs fits better with Pol Pot, than it does the Nazi regime.

Yeah, let's hear it for that well-known bunch of happy-go-lucky fun-loving libertarians, the Nazis, who were keen as anything on freedom of thought and expression.

It's a new one to me, libertarians and Nazis, all together as one. Weren't the Nazis the National Socialists?

In a similar vein, I see the appeal court upheld an appeal against a group of Eco activists who had used climate change protests as a defence for criminal damage. However, there will be no further action against the criminals. I wonder, had they been convicted and exonerated on appeal, would that have been the end of it? I would think that extortionate legal costs, compensation for wrongful arrest etc would have been granted. At least that defence will no longer be accepted in future cases, but the soft hands from a right-on judiciary will no doubt emoliate any sentencing.

You exaggerate for effect. Have you not heard of adult education, where you catch up on what you missed first time round? People should be able to recognise fools, mountebanks and a lying Boris. Its then up to them if they choose to vote for them knowingly. But they have made an informed decision to be stupid.
