Privatising Channel 4 confirmed as well.

Because NFTs are an appropriate use of the state, but public information and entertainment aren’t.

It really is ridiculous, C4 costs the tax payer £0, and actually makes a profit, props up lots of British independent TV and film productions, there is no valid reason to privatise it. More like the government doesn't like that C4 news actually challenges them.

Privatise C4 first, get people used to the idea, then the BBC. Then the big one, the NHS.

I wonder which Tory donor(s) will benefit from the C4 sale?

So we’re doing a deal to send them to a country run by a despot dictatorship guilty of killing political opponents both inside Rwanda and on foreign soil as recently as last year. Basically Africa’s Putin. Surely this is a wind up. Not even Boris, surely.

The problem with Corbyn is it mirrors his nonsense regarding the Salisbury poisoning

It did cross my mind, but surely, surely even these twats aren’t that tone deaf.

Are they?

Johnson used similar words as should any politician, saying "those responsible" does not mean "I don't think it was Russia".

Just searched Corbyns twitter the last time he mentions Putin or Russia is 6th March.

Johnson blamed Putin and Russia for these atrocities just yesterday.

What’s your point? Did you search Starmer? Are people that desperate to put Starmer over as some kind of ‘leader’ that we have to play some kind of shit Top Trumps to see who most recently said the bad Russians did it all.

This tweet, and your response perfectly encapsulates the irrelevance of Centrism. More outrage and column inches over Corbyn’s choice of grammar than any of the vast societal tragedies unfolding before our very eyes.

Have you seen the shite Stop The War have been posting? It’s a little more than grammar choice.

He had some good ideas with domestic policy but Corbyns foreign policy takes have always been a bin fire.

This I don't mind to be honest if he just comes out and says he does the occasional line then votes for drug reform. It's the duplicity of it all that pisses me off.

Also the dandruff line makes him sound certifiable so I don't know who advised him that was a good idea

I'm currently housesitting but can see my electricity balance on my phone and it's nice that despite the fuse box being off I'm still paying through the nose.

Good to know the really important issues like which side of the Labour Party hates the other the most is still ongoing though.

I don’t think he actually said the dandruff line. I can’t find a source anywhere.

UK foreign policy over the last 25 years has consisted of going into other places, blowing shit up, changing regimes and killing civilians in the process - only for us to then fuck off, leaving zero infrastructure in place as the country falls into the hands of people as bad or worse than those overthrown. Western foreign policy created the vacuum for ISIS.
But tell me how doing things exactly the same way as we have done all the other times will be work out so much better this time.

Yeah that’s a fine take, it’s not Corbyns or STWs though, that’s why they’re pro Russia right now under the guise of “anti-war”. The war is here, it’s a bit late to be anti.

Yes Iraq was bad. No this doesn’t mean all military intervention ever is bad. Syria and Ukraine being two recent counter examples.

A screenshot is. Googling the sentence in it just brings you to Twitter accounts sharing the screenshot. It’s not reported anywhere. I suspect fake news. Happy to be proven wrong though.

You think being on the same side as Al Nusra, (and possibly/probably ISIS), wasn't bad?
