@Th_Angelopoulos@Channel4News "Pro-Working Class' and yet it seems your analysis is utterly devoid of any class dimension & frames the entire event through the lens of identity. Had the police seen Henry a drunk middle-class university student, the outcome would have been very different.
@Channel4News@redrumlisa Excellent analysis, Lisa, as someone who has experienced two-tier policing since the 1980s, I see these events through a very different lens.
The hysterical reaction from the middle-class shitlibs who reflexively privilege identity over class suggest you are over the target.
@redrumlisa@ucu In their universe, the working class has zero agency & are simply puppets, their strings pulled by the servo-mechanisms of the right.
Nothing to do with the 'left' replacing class with identity as the transcendental signifier of political praxis. You can't hate them enough.

In a single post @Reuters crystalises just why no-one with any semblance of critical reasoning takes anything the mainstream media says seriously.
@David__Osland@ciaranmacairt I thought 'two-tier policing' was a right wing trope? Given the 'fascist thug' is surrounded by the Union Jack, he's either an agent provocateur or a coked up moron. Either way, his amplification is to provide an enemy image for the middle class to demonise working class protest.
@mattforney@BDogNo1 If you're going to engage in painfully obvious astroturfed/coordinated talking points on X, at least find out about the basic facts concerning the massacre in Odessa. Otherwise you look like an absolute clown.
@ABridgen Performative nonsense from the Green Goblin. The war is the only thing keeping him in power & stopping corruption charges from reaching his door. He knows the Ukrainian ultra-nationalists will lynch him, should he ever seek peace plus his UK/European handlers will never allow it.

You have a lot to say for someone who can't grasp the difference between Anti-Zionism and Anti-Semitism but nothing to say about the current heroes of Ukraine & actual antisemites like Third Reich collaborators Stepan Bandera and Andriy Melnyk?
@March22Fan@JnglJourney It can't be a 'civilian bus' because my side are the good guys & only bad guys target civilian buses, ergo, it can't be a 'civilian bus'. ๐คก
@DefenceU That figure of 1.3 million dead must be why one country in the conflict has forcible conscription rates of 90% plus, the average age on the battlefield is 40+ & there are endless videos of its citizens being kidnapped off the streets. The other country doesn't. ๐ค
@silkiecarlo@ClareCraigPath In the reality occupied by the middle-class progressive 'left' and organisations like Amnesty International, there is no institutionalised police bias against the white working class & no 'two-tier' policing. In the final analysis, they will always align with the 'authorities'.

Bombing schools - and then covering it up - is stock in trade for the West and its proxies.
Just over a week ago 21 kids were killed, mainly girls, in a Ukrainian attack on a college dormitory in Starobelsk.
In the aftermath we saw the same deliberate smears that were also deployed after the bombing of the Minab girls school in Iran which killed as many as 175 mainly schoolchildren.
The pattern is the same. Dehumanise the victims, muddy the waters and allow war crimes to go unpunished.
Here are some of those that were killed in the strike. Remember their names, remember their faces, honour their memory.
@_i0n Given the fact that Hamas was originally an Israeli cut out to counter the secular nationalism of the PLO, one can't help but wonder why Hamas 'fell into the trap' in the first place.
Speculative, but perhaps deep cover Mossad operatives embedded in Hamas had a part to play too.
