We should have a government and politicians that do not offer unequivocal support for Israel. Who knows what that entails?
The government do not offer us unequivocal support and many MP’s will not even go as far as asking a question on behalf of their constituents unless it aligns with their interests.
Until we have politicians who do not function as if subservient to pharma/weapons manufacturers/Israel/Saudi (interesting bedfellows) etc.- why would anything improve?

I assume Allison ‘Limited Hangout’ Pearson is equally aghast with the import (US – of course) of matriarchal, misandrist attitudes that has already destroyed society and put all citizens at risk? Or do we quietly ignore that because, you know, the ‘patriarchy’?
I’ve so far managed to endure 8 of 10 episodes of the latest Fargo (season 5). As with almost every TV film/series, radio show, news article, approved public opinion etc, it’s the promotion of the idea that ALL men are either evil, incompetent, cowardly, thick as f*ck, a cuck, or, more often than not, a mixture of these traits. Meanwhile, ALL women are powerful, rational, intelligent, brave, or fighting their inner oppressor. The women are not just psychologically powerful, but physically too; a six stone dripping wet woman can easily fight off a horde of males three times her size. There’s literally zero benefit to being a male you see.
I mention all this because society has been turning a blind eye to this appalling, vicious, discrimination for at least two decades. Even guys who acknowledge this is going on – you’d have to be willfully blind not to see it – believe the solution is to turn a blind eye to it. To not call it out, to not face up to it, to not rock the boat. To hope that it quietly goes away. How’s that working out? If we want to have any chance of rebuilding a functional society then it starts with men and women respecting each other and seeing the opposite sex as friends and not foe… you know, like we used to (for those of us old enough to remember a time long gone). And that starts with pointing at the elephant in the room.
See also Peppa Pig, criticised many years ago for similar sexist content. Insidious but it’s the developing minds that need to be influenced to bring in a new normal.
Fortunately, my kids are of an age where I didn’t have to contend with Peppa Pig. For my Woke, ‘I’m a proud feminist’, Guardian-reading younger brothers children it was staple ‘entertainment’ though. Two kids that the likes of Stonewall will be eagerly eyeing.
A minor point: developing minds need to be influenced to maintain a new normal. The last couple of decades has seen supposedly developed minds usher it in.
I don’t think it’s quite there yet and would be a short-lived normal since it does encourage division. A means to a different end?
Mrs ToF and I cannot manage to watch much in the way of TV or film that has been made recently. Anything involving Taylor Sheridan seems pretty sound.
I would bet money that almost 100% of the men and women who post here seem each other as friends not foe – though at times some of each kind seem inclined to seize opportunities to forget we are friends not foe.
We watch the odd film and series. Nothing much worth watching these days. Yellowstone was refreshingly good actually and he’s in that.
Being friends doesn’t mean not being critical. Quite the opposite. How that criticism is done is key though, and maybe that’s something I’m guilty of not always getting right. What’s far more societally damaging, however, is to say nothing – usually done in the fear of harming peer approval. Anyway, last post – I need to get ready to prop up the system I hate i.e work to feed the state who feed the masses who feed the conformance.
Sheridan writes and creates more than he acts these days – he created Yellowstone, 1883, 1923, Tulsa King and some other stuff – all worth watching. He grew up on a ranch, owns a huge ranch in Texas and runs a school for training actors how not to look rubbish on a horse.
Criticism is good, but I think sometimes you reach a point where each “side” has expressed a view and there’s not much more to be done or said.
Allison Pearson is one of a handful of real journalists left.
So yeah, take a good kick at her for one tiny thing – hiding behind a pretend stupid name. So BRAVE. So FREE
A 25 year old public schoolboy who doesn’t understand that ‘Free Lemming’ is a paradoxical critique of society, and not a personal Bio? And believes that Allison Pearson is “one of a handful of real journalists left”? Hilarious.
Too God damn dumb to engage with further. I recommend for you: Peppa Pig.

There is always a danger in dramatising every national scandal, as we have seen in the recent Channel 4 production, where certain important movers in the scandal are omitted because of their relationship with the documentary maker.

“Gary Lineker has said he helped draw up the BBC social media guidelines that allow him “much more freedom”, according to the Telegraph.”
Good. I can’t stand the bloke or his views and think the BBC should be privatised or dismantled, but in the meantime let this fool run his mouth so everyone can make their own minds up about whether the BBC is impartial and whether he has anything worthwhile to say.
“Linzi Smith, the Newcastle United fan banned from attending games for her gender critical views, talks to Nigel Farage on GB News.”
Please DS just stop using the phrase “gender critical”. I believe it was invented by our enemies to make normal mainstream views that are backed by empirical evidence seem fringe. Language matters.
Hear, hear.
“Tucker Carlson confirms ‘unedited’ interview with Putin”
Here’s what we can expect:
‘KEIR SIMMONS: No. It’s — it — the — the report today is that — Russia is preparing to give or to offer to Iran a satellite technology which will enable Iran to target — military — to make — to — to make military targets.
VLADIMIR PUTIN: No. No. We don’t have that kind of programs with Iran. No, it’s just nonsense all over again, yet again. We have cooperation plans with Iran, including the military and technical cooperation. And all of this fits the framework of the decisions that were agreed upon in our program in regard to Iran’s nuclear program in the context of U.N. decisions……..’
‘KEIR SIMMONS: So presumably you’d agree that giving Iran satellite technology that might enable it to target U.S. servicemen and women in places like Iraq — or to share that information with Hezbollah or the Houthi in Yemen so they could target Israel and Saudi Arabia, (DINGS) that giving Iran that kind of — satellite technology would be dangerous?
VLADIMIR PUTIN: Look, why are we talking about problems that don’t exist? There is no subject for a discussion. Somebody has — invented something, has made something up. Maybe this is just a bogus story so as to limit any kind of military and technical cooperation with Iran……….’
‘KEIR SIMMONS: So let’s move on to your summit with President Biden. The context for the summit is that he’s meeting with the G7, a group that you used to belong to — with NATO, with European— leaders………….
VLADIMIR PUTIN: ……..As far as NATO, I have said on many occasions, “This is a Cold War relic.” It’s something that was born in the Cold War area— . I’m not sure why it still continues to exist. There was a time and there was some talk that this organization would be transformed. Now it has been kind of forgotten. We presume that it is a military organization……..’
‘KEIR SIMMONS: Yeah. You’re a religious man. President Biden is saying he told you to your face, “You don’t have a soul.” (LAUGH)
VLADIMIR PUTIN: I do not remember this.
KEIR SIMMONS: He says it was about —
(OVERTALK)
VLADIMIR PUTIN: — something wrong with my memory……….’
‘KEIR SIMMONS: —a direct question? Did you order Alexei Navalny’s assassination?
VLADIMIR PUTIN: Of course not. We don’t have this kind of habit, of assassinating anybody……..’
‘VLADIMIR PUTIN: Some— some defense. Some defense. During the USSR era, Gorbachev, who is still— thank God, with us— got a promise— a verbal promise— that— there would be no NATO expansion to the east. Where is that—
KEIR SIMMONS: Where is that—
VLADIMIR PUTIN: —promise? Two ways of expansion.
KEIR SIMMONS: Where is that written down? Where is that promise written down?
VLADIMIR PUTIN: Right, right, right. Right, right. Well done. Well done. Correct. You’ve got a point………’
‘KEIR SIMMONS: Will you commit now not to send any further Russian troops into Ukrainian sovereign territory?
VLADIMIR PUTIN: Look, we— did we— did we say that we were planning to send our armed formations anywhere? We were conducting war games on— in our territory. How can this not be clear? I’m saying it again because I want your audience to hear it, your— listeners to hear it— both on the screens of their televisions and on the internet.’
Keir Simmons (NBC) Putin interview June 2021
Enjoy…….
You wouldn’t have to invent interviews if our regime hadn’t censored Russian news outlets for the last two years so we can judge for ourselves whether it’s a potential enemy or not (keep pinching myself to remember we’re not at war with Russia). I find the average Muscovite far better informed about Western affairs than we are about Russia.
Although delighted at your compliment regarding my creativity, thank you, those quotes, above, are bits of the full transcript of the interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin by Keir Simmons of NBC News, which took place in Moscow on June 11, 2021.
Fill your boots. They filmed it (obviously):

As it happens, I spotted two ‘transcripts’ of the Tucker/Putin interview online yesterday – before it’s even taken place. ChatGPT seems to have developed timewarp skills already. Amazing.
Even more amazing: you can watch him saying the words in real time and read his lips……almost as though it really happened……

Oh! It really did………
Really, really amazing!
The NATO bot/Ukrainian fanbot thinks you are referring to the June 2021 interview.
He’s called d hand job for a reason
The reasons include, but not exclusively, anti-semitism. The progressive intellectuals are also blind to slave raids involving murder, rape, burnings and mutilation across half a dozen north and central African countries at the hands of Muslims. This involves Muslims against Christians (primarily), but also black Muslims against the wrong sort of Muslims, or Arabs against black Muslims, or Arabs against insufficiently Arabized Muslims.
The justification for ignoring it, as this useful video points out, is that the woke divide the world sharply into oppressors (always white) and oppressed (usually black, when not LGBTQ+ or Muslim).
Although Jews and Palestinians are near-identical in genetics (both having local and immigrant blood), Jews count as “white” and “Palestinians as “black,” so that decides the issue. In the other cases, since Arabs, Berbers and Bantu (and further south the oppressed Batwa and San) are all lumped together as “black,” there can be no oppressors, especially when the perpetrators are usually Muslims, by definition oppressed because… Palestine… Therefore there is literally nothing to see, and nothing is seen as, overall, millions are raped, killed or enslaved from Nigeria to Sudan.

On the subject of monitoring, one of Labour Andy Burnham’s pet projects – CAZ clean air zones Greater Manchester – was ‘shelved’ but all the ANPR cameras installed at great expense to support CAZ are to remain to assist the police to ‘detect crime’. That means every single member of the public are / will be suspected of crime under the surveillance. Pity he and his local councils don’t / didn’t show such diligence in detecting the horrendous sexual abuse and exploitation of children.
What price the poor children have paid to secure dirty votes…
Yeah – funny how people bang on about “human rights” in Saudi and Abu Dhabi. Neglecting the fact the during the Covid non-pandemic, CORE and inalienable human rights were trampled on in the UK, and experimental medication was forced on the unwilling, a clear breach of the Nuremberg Code. Bodily autonomy is perhaps THE most important right – without it, we are slaves of the state.
People hanged for that after WWII.
And we point the finger at other countries?
F**k that.

“Actress Gina Carano sues Disney after being fired for social media posts”
Rock on Gina. The strong woman Disney claimed they wanted but hounded out – for being a strong woman. It might seem trivial in the grand scheme of things but will be an important case in the fight for free speech. And you’ve got to admit, these are some of the best opening lines of a legal case:
A short time ago in a galaxy not so far away, Defendants made it clear that only one orthodoxy in thought, speech, or action was acceptable in their empire, and that those who dared to question or failed to fully comply would not be tolerated. And so it was with Carano. After two highly acclaimed seasons on The Mandalorian as Rebel ranger Cara Dune, Carano was terminated from her role as swiftly as her character’s peaceful home planet of Alderaan had been destroyed by the Death Star in an earlier Star Wars film. And all this because she dared voice her own opinions, on social media platforms and elsewhere, and stood up to the online bully mob who demanded her compliance with their extreme progressive ideology.
Defendants’ wrath over their employees’ social media posts also differed depending on sex. Even though “the Force is female,” Defendants chose to target a woman while looking the other way when it came to men. While Carano was fired, Defendants took no action against male actors who took equally or more vigorous and controversial positions on social media.
But the rule of law still reigns over the Defendants’ empire. And Carano has returned to demand that they be held accountable for their bullying, discriminatory, and retaliatory actions—actions that inflicted not only substantial emotional harm, but millions of dollars in lost income.
