@13sarahmurphy@OperaSocialist Spaffer's latest wheeze is to position himself alongside the multi-billionaire "oligarchs." Does he hope for some "power" in a post democratic world, or is he simply hoping to gather a few crumbs from the table, ie billions of pounds/dollars?
@BladeoftheS For mega rich, avoiding tax is a "macho" thing. Not for them, but only "ordinary" folk. Whilst RW press/MSM might be trying to drum up "support" from Joe Public, it's hard to imagine much sympathy from those paying their dues and not in the multi billionaire/millionaire class.
@Nillo82948721 Except they won't, will they? If we have learnt nothing else in the past decade or so, it is that far right characters never go away, they never apologise, and never accept responsibility. This week is likely to be the worst yet, whatever the result.
@williamnhutton They don't have a voice in the RW press and MSM though do they Will? Tory shills "rule the airwaves," tv screens and print media. Big mistake to promise Murdoch no Leveson 2.
@carryonkeith As is the norm today though, facts are irrelevant. The RW press/MSM conveniently ignores actual reality, and uses this as another means of bashing Lab. Farmers who won't be affected are, subsequently, "up in arms," and ready to protest.
@annettedittert Try C4 World Drama, Lolita Lobosco. A female chief inspector in Bari, southern Italy. Two series, and easy watching, with good relationships between the characters. Plenty of humour as well as the criminal aspect. Good for your Italian too!
@jdpoc@janemick All true, but she already has the support of virtually all of the press/ MSM, automatically. BBC and SKY are rammed full of Tory shills, primed to obey their RW masters. We obviously know where the loyalties of tax dodging billionaire press barons will lie. Leveson 2 now FFS!
@RhonddaBryant@tshep42 Your biggest battle seems to be against the RW press/MSM Chris. They hate Lab, Lib Dems, Greens, and most of the population beyond measure. They appear to be succeeding in promoting an outbreak of mass amnesia re Tories. Why no Leveson 2 and reform of the BBC Etonian board?
@annettedittert@Telegraph Best not to repost it Ms Dittert. Increasingly, RW press/MSM is looking to destroy democracy. The tax dodging billionaire press don't want to make a profit out of their outlets, but gradually grind down the "norms" we have been used to. No regs, and no rights in their world.
@BenPBradshaw @tshep42 Which parts of the press and media are not pro Tory now? Must be less than 10 %? Mirror, and not much else. Guardian is strangely very neutral these days, as is C4. The rest, totally Tory.
@terrychristian Almost as if RW press/MSM Tory shills are trying to crash the markets for their Tory mates and masters. Their hatred for Labour, Lib Dems, and most of the country, knows no bounds.
@CarolynEley2@Keir_Starmer@OliverRyanUK Hard, from almost 80 years on, to know if the press, virtually no tv then course, was as anti Attlee as they are towards Starmer today. No social media back then, and no Tory shills prowling the airwaves, desperate for their "gotchas." Just the BBC home service for radio news.
@Spanglish51 @KayBurley@RachelReevesMP Burley/Rigby have their orders, as does Kuenssberg at the BBC. These three Tory witches enact them with such obvious glee though. SKY is not publicly funded, but BBC licence fee is now basically a political donation to the Conservative Party. Come on Lisa Nandy. Time for action!
