    [Politics] Brexit

    We can carry on ignoring the elephant in the room, but I'm not interested in people complaining about higher taxes. Its the cost of faux sovereignty I'm afraid

    [Politics] The 2024 US Election - *MATCH DAY*

    Feels like giving Paul Dacre the nuke codes for fun. And Musk is going to be like Ester McClueless on steriods

    [Politics] Is democracy in crisis?

    I heard Anthony Scaramucci say last week if Musk had supported the Dems they would have won. Initially I thought he was wrong, but maybe he's right. This is decent journalism from Carol C at the Guardian. There’s a new oligarchy in town and the tech bros have very deep pockets. Trump wants...

    [Politics] How do you deal with people obsessed with political views?

    Usually don't bother unless they are on hard right, then I just ask questions. Then pretend to be apolitical its more fun

    Beeb's still great value and accessible to almost everyone, the media and tech moguls hate this. The likes of Sky are accessible to those who can afford it, its poor value. The main winners are shareholders many of whom don't live here

    Public service broadcasting is one of few things we're world beating at and it still highly regarded around the world, it helps underpin democracy at home and abroad and is a great instrument of soft power. Yet look at how the previous government hollowed out the World Service. The...
