Channel 4 continues to do actual journalism
Although he’s inevitably a lib, their former main anchor Jon Snow did some good things in the past that annoyed the gammons
Edit: relevant bits as I can’t figure out Wikipedia deep linking:
In June 2017, it was reported that Snow had shouted “fuck the Tories” at Glastonbury. He was criticised for his views on air by a guest on Channel 4 News, Conservative minister Grant Shapps later refused to appear on the show, doubting its neutrality. Shapps stated: “I don’t think he [Jon Snow] can deal in an even handed manner in any interview with a Conservative MP. He has lost all credibility.”
And
In March 2019, while reporting at a pro-Brexit protest, Snow said that he had “never seen so many white people in one place”. Media regulator Ofcom received 2,644 complaints about Snow’s comment
Trump gaining ground among Latino voters, poll shows
A USA Today and Suffolk University survey showed Trump was ahead with 39% support among Latino voters surveyed, compared to Biden’s 34%, signaling a slump since 2020, when Biden garnered 65% of the approval from Latino voters.
We can only hope and pray he brings this pro-Latino energy to the campaign trail again
I’m back on my Starmer conspiracy brainworms, and this might be totally silly of me, but….
Assuming MI5 had him orchestrate the dismantling of the Labour left in anticipation of worsening material conditions over the next two decades and the potential rise of a robust British socialist movement, could an additional objective be to enact draconian authoritarian laws to suppress protests and enhance surveillance? He then bows out after a year or two with deep unpopularity but with strong protections for capital in place, to be replaced with Ed Milliband in an attempt to show “progressive” leadership.
Basically, given the last 10 years the last few days happening has been horribly predictable. If you’re a Gladio aficionado, you might be sympathetic to the conspiracy theory I’m leaning toward here.
Drove through a tiny Californian town with a 2000 population today. Pro-Palestinian protest happening. Gave them a toot of the horn and a wave
If you’ll vote for her, she’ll win: UK Edition
I remain convinced that Starmer had a pact with Farage, which led to Labour pulling support for their candidate in Clacton when he started gaining ground on Farage. Actions like this make me think it is an ongoing thing.
Nazis trying to burn down a Mosque in Southport in the UK after yesterday’s mass stabbing at a kids dance party….fucking bleak near term future with Keith’s government doing all it can to get Reform elected
