UK media is pro Iran-US war… why aren’t the public?

Manufacturing consent: why all the pundits & politicians proved wrong about austerity, Brexit, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss & Donald Trump are now ignoring objective reality, the lessons of Iraq & public opinion on the war in Iran. open.spotify.com/episode/2SOT...

Quite . I was thinking about β€œbut ladies merely glow β€œ recently when a colleague was talking about people who sweat and fart on public transport.
I imagine Dane would do both if confronted with impending fatherhood with Hellen. #TheArchers

Might is right is personified by Hegseth and his crazed speeches in the last two days.
Is this what leadership looks like?

Or perhaps we were just to enjoy hearing Hellen grovelling to her extensively? #TheArchers

@mrjamesob.bsky.social says all they (politicians / journalists who speak the language of grievance) need is therapy.

Are there enough therapists trained and ready to deal with this ? πŸ€ͺ😁

They did have a meeting and β€œmake up” (although it sounded like Celia had the upper hand knowing Hellen had cheated, and would use it later). #TheArchers

A huge decision and also the correct one.
Badenoch is touring the studios believing she's on a victory lap. In reality, she is woefully out of touch with mainstream opinion.

Dubai influencers share near-identical videos with footage of Dubai crown prince | LBC Videos featuring the caption β€˜I know who protects us’ have been circulating on social media

I had no idea until this all started that the UAE licences and pays many influencers to live there and write positively about the regime.

That puts a whole new spin on things.

Propagandists in pocket of regime.

It's why all the messaging is the same.

It's proper dystopian stuff going down in UAE.

What we see here is Donald Trump, acting as he always does, as a global chaos generator.

The further we stand away from that, the better off we will be.

Here’s an uncomfortable truth for several presenters on #r4today. For some reason [Iraq/Afghanistan] the Prime Minister is reluctant to send British soldiers to die in another pointless Middle Eastern war - but *he’s* the bad guy? #IranWar

DOJ releases missing Epstein files related to a woman who made an allegation against Trump The Justice Department indicated that the documents were not previously released because they had been "incorrectly coded as duplicative."

He might be stupid, but launching a war has proved very successful in overshadowing the ongoing #EpsteinFiles scandal for him. Lost in the noise - another 47,000+ documents released, including the allegations against Trump by a then 13 year old girl. #IranWar #r4today

Labour and the liberal media should be hammering this at every opportunity. The ppl calling for greater involvement in a Middle East war are the same ppl that will be complaining about Iranian refugees turning up on our shores in small boats in a yrs time. #r4today

1/2 The overwhelming majority of British people do not want to get involved in the #WarOnIran, which puts them at odds with the right wing commentariat, who are so blinded by hatred of #Starmer they’ll support a foreign fascist over their own Prime Minister. #r4today #wato #bbcpm #bbcqt

I went to The Apollo in Shaftesbury Avenue yesterday to see β€œI’m Sorry, Prime Minister”.

At one point Jim Hacker says β€œOf course I’m not out of touch. I listen to the Today Program”. That got a big laugh.
