Unions too strong in the 70's?
Too strong for who?

Let's be clear, much of the media encouraged Peodophilia back in the day
The Sun newspaper printed a countdown clock in the lead-up to Charlotte Church's 16th birthday, tracking the days until she reached the UK age of sexual consent

The senior private sector executive responsible for managing disability benefit assessments across much of southern England posted “offensive” and “cruel” social media messages attacking disabled people and supporting far-right activist Tommy Robinson.

I remember reading this in 2007
It was a red flag to me, but I was concerned that some others on the left were in awe of the apparent revolutionary socialist😱

Yes, Marjorie Taylor Greene supported Trump at the outset cos she's a racist
She aligned with Trumps views on White Nationalism and spoke at the America First Political Action Conference (AFPAC), a white nationalist event founded by Nick Fuentes

Baumgartner: "will we give the Straits of Hormuz to Jihadist Iran?"
So, Trumps war with Iran was about opening the Straits of Hormuz🤔
But they were open before the war started!

The accolades seem to ignore that he was a Socialist, passionate about Palestinian rights

In the 1950s families of an average of 3 children could be supported by a single wage earner
So called "economic inactivity" (which ignores carers) was approx 32%
Today its 20%
And yet we are told that this is too much and must force carers and the disabled into work

EXPOSED: Campaign Against Antisemitism Steward Tied to Far-Right Hitman for Hire Scandal @lornahosford
Ted Watson retweeted
You can't make it up.
Sir David Bell was asked to lead the antisemitism review that was just published.
But he faced severe criticism for alleged Islamophobia for attacking faith schools when he was head of Ofsted twenty years ago.
And his new report now blithely says that Muslims disproportionately express anti-semitic views...

This man just took the same plastic recorder that used to sound like a dying goose in elementary school and casually started shredding Sultans of Swing on it.
Eyes half-closed, fully committed, fingers flying like he actually practiced this instead of just surviving Hot Cross Buns.
Somewhere a music teacher is watching this and having an existential crisis. The recorder has seen things. It will never be
the same.
The last Protect and Survive scare was to convince us that we needed Trident, controlled by the US - it still is😱

I'm old enough to remember Ukraine before February 2022. Before the great PR makeover. Before billions in British public money started flowing. Before the swastikas were quietly airbrushed out of the picture and yesterday's neo-Nazi problem became today's inconvenient history.
Back in January 2015, Ross Kemp travelled to Ukraine for his Extreme World documentary series, investigating the rise of the far right and the Azov Battalion, including its neo-Nazi elements and symbolism.
This was British mainstream television, not Russian propaganda.
Funny how quickly history gets rewritten when the geopolitical interests change and the public chequebook comes out.
Of course, Ukraine's corruption, extremist movements and internal divisions didn't magically disappear in February 2022. But suddenly, mentioning what British journalists had openly reported for years was enough to get you branded a Kremlin sympathiser.
Well, here's Ross Kemp reporting from Ukraine in 2015, long before the political rebranding.
No Russian bots. No Kremlin script. Just the history they would rather you didn't remember.
