Very good point. I guess the most reasonably conclusion, which I’m sure you’ve reached, is that these morons have no idea what they’re talking about or what they’re doing

Not being facetious, it might mean “the enemy shoots back”

I love how half the time we're being told about how we're the heirs to Socrates and Plato and The West and the other half the time it's like 'philosophy? fuck off with that'. Socrates was so annoying they killed him, now everyone agrees he was actually quite important - LEARN FROM THIS GUYS

I think it’s meant to be interpreted as an attack on like people who go to academic conferences or work at woke think tanks then every so often the mask slips and you see they mean midwives and teachers

Yeah guys I reckon the army which is doing a genocide is targeting a Hezbollah stronghold and not just bombing Arab cities

“Here’s what Trump says about tariffs, by the way it’s entirely reasonable to suspect he literally does not know what tariffs are or how they work” is helpful extra context

Ten years of the media failing its readers by neglecting to point out this dude’s brain simply does not work and literally anything he says might be tossed out the window tomorrow

Aside from this being obviously racist drivel, what would he say to the follow up of “okay if there are 200,000,000 motivated irredeemable west-hating enemies, why haven’t they won yet”

Not to keep kicking the bbc but what is “appears” doing here, confirm it and stand by it guys

Again, remember when the BBC et al decided to pretend that it might not be Trump’s signature on his Epstein birthday card, despite there being no other possible explanation, and we’ve never revisited it?

lol

It reminds me of that by-election late in Sunak’s premiership when everyone decided overnight to start whingeing about “the war on motorists”, now we’re all meant to freak out about “sectarian voting”

Kemi badenoch, person concerned about sectarianism I guess

“Stop calling all trees tall, some are short” it’s really undignified to pretend not to understand how adjectives work for money, I wouldn’t do it

"Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak"

She might as well have said they’re both bipeds

Polanski and Farage have more in common than you might think Despite huge political differences, the Green and Reform leaders have much in common, writes Laura Kuenssberg.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... I don’t mean to be rude but this is the most brainless drivel - the extent of their similarities appears to be they run “new” parties and both seem to enjoy politics, GCSE-level stuff

No mention of the criminalisation of Palestine Action in here, weird

I guess you couldn’t find a Muslim to ask?

Also I love the idea that criticising modi is anti Hindu the same way criticising Netanyahu is anti semitic. These are political figures! With decades in the public eye!

It is undeniable now that the Greens secured their win in Gorton and Denton by exploiting Muslim grievances. 'Punish Labour for Gaza, they barked at Muslim voters. Isn't Modi just awful, they whispered in Muslim ears? In Urdu, they encouraged the Muslims of this Manchester seat to get out and stick it to the pro-genocide' Labour party and 'far-right' Reform.

What’s bothering me is this idea that Urdu speakers and Muslims are like baby birds who will imprint on whoever speaks to them and so it’s somehow cheating to do so. (Image from the Spectator)

This is interesting, thank you - why is “we have made man-delivered, low-sophistication suicide nukes which nevertheless would wreck New York or Washington” insufficient? People just wouldn’t believe you?

I know complaining about the tan Obama suit bit is played out but this is the US president announcing Americans will die while wearing a tacky baseball cap

I’m stockpiling posh tinned sardines

Willion

“Britain now has the political sectarianism of Lebanon” - are you dumb or lying or both

North Korea sitting uninvaded, Libya, Iraq and Iran all getting attacked all the time, what lessons are we teaching here

Yeah Jake very convincing prognosis

“Britain now has the political sectarianism of Lebanon” god the spectator is so good I love that people pay money for this

I liked the bit where she said the Islamist hardliners voted for the woman candidate in the party with the Jewish leader and then presumably realised she had a bad brain
