Why are Far Right 'commentators' given so much air time?
Because they blame immigrants and not rich people, and so they are no threat to the billionaire Media owners.
The Bank Resolution (Recapitalisation) Bill is going through parliament.
Provides framework for rescuing banks.
Cost to be borne by customers & public purse. No exec pay clawback.
If bailouts are certain why would execs behave?
Somethings don't change

Nigel Farage was rehabilitated by ITV when it paid him £1.5m to appear on I’m A Celeb.
He is also joint-second for most appearances on BBC Question Time.
When I say the *entire* media class is complicit in the normalisation of Islamophobic & anti-migrant rhetoric, I mean it.
Rachel Reeves has refused permission for the National Audit Office to investigate England's 48 SEZ's and 8 Freeports despite a damning report from the House of Commons Committee in April 2024, citing lack of transparency, questions over value for taxpayers money, and ignoring of the Nolan principles. This stinks.
Yvette Cooper says those who whip up hatred on social media will face the same reckoning as rioters. What about those who whip up hatred from television studios, newspaper offices and the House of Commons?
Prof Stephen Reicher, "I would appeal to you to not call these people protestors. They're not protestors"
"To call them protestors is profoundly misleading. It is to discredit a long tradition of perfectly legitimate and peaceful and important protest that has made our society better in many ways"
"What's going on is specific to these crowds.. Crowd psychology is there when people are cleaning up the streets as well as attacking the streets.. The difference is one group has an ideology of hate and violence, another has a vision of community and solidarity"
"Most people are pro immigration.. The irony is that over recent years attitudes towards immigration has become more positive.. People see immigrants as a boom rather than as a menace to the country.. Britain is one of the more liberal countries"
"If we didn't have migrants then our care service would fall apart, our NHS would fall apart.. It's important not to highlight the negative exceptions, but to show that most people are pro migrants"
Turned on BBC news and got the impression Britain is in flames. Yet in London I saw an absolutely enormous Palestinian peace demonstration and it was completely peaceful. UK media plays a big role in heightening tension and giving far-right oxygen. Irresponsible.
I don’t recall “Just stop oil” or “Extinction Rebellion” members setting police stations on fire, setting police vehicles on fire or throwing rocks and bricks at police officers.
Do you?
Starmer said:
“Israel 🇮🇱 does have that right" to cut water and power from Gaza 🇵🇸
Yesterday his Defence Secretary shook hands with Israeli Defence Secretary Gallant, who executed the siege.
Starmer gives cover to Netanyahu.
He’s complicit.
