Russia Today is an atrocity revisionism service run by the Russian ministry of information to cover up its horrific crimes and vast catalogue human rights abuses. You think you can sue every journalist who reports the truth about what you do?
Brave journalists like Anna Politkovskaya were murdered in the line of duty exposing this criminal regime and if you think we in the foreign press will back down in the face of pathetic legal threats you are so very wrong. We see you fucking cowards for what you are.
You murder our colleagues, then slander them as their blood is still warm on the pavement. You must be out of your damn minds if you think threatening any one of us in the British courts will work for you. If you want us silent you’ll have to put us all in the ground.
I promise you this, so long as I still draw breath, I will continue to expose this murderous gangster kleptocracy and the monsters who lie for their blood money. And when my corpse is finally dragged down to hell, I’ll continue to haunt every one of you from beyond the grave.

Biden fought a robustly centrist political campaign, and heavily defeated the left alternative in the process. He then used that victory to govern with a far more radical agenda than the electorate or his opponents on the left expected him to.
The parallels with Starmer’s approach are already there. I just don’t understand how people are retconning what Biden did to fit into their preferred Labour Party paradigm, the campaign was marked by some of the most hysterical attacks on Biden’s character from his left flank.
The people that need to learn the lessons from the Biden campaign are on the left flank of Labour, who treat every innocuous statement by the current LOTO as an act of war, especially considering that Johnson is nowhere near as unpopular as Trump was at the end of his term
For reference, California alone, in only one quarter of 2020-2021 pulled in $155 million in Cannabis tax revenue. That’s one state, and one quarter, for a drug that people will consume regardless of its legal status. This argument makes no legal or economic sense whatsoever.
The health problems associated with its use will continue regardless of its legal status. Now deduct the money and time spent on enforcement of this law. Now try applying this same exact argument to alcohol. None of it makes sense at all.
None of this actually even matters as much as the ethical argument, that it is morally wrong to criminalise smoking a plant that has been used recreationally by human civilisation for millennia. The entire premise is absurd.
This is insane, Assad still has chemical weapons and continued to use them *hundreds* of times after Obama supposedly “got tons of chemical weapons out of Syria”. This man is a fool and an apologist.
“one of the most bizarrely over-interpreted moments in modern history.”
After Obama made that threat, Assad murdered 1500 civilians. To look at that massacre and the total lack of response to it as a “huge achievement” is heinous and repulsive.
Matt Duss is absolutely driven by an ideological desire to reward the perpetrators of this atrocity with sanctions relief.
I’d be more willing to listen to your opinion on Starmer’s approval ratings if you didn’t spend the last 5 years trying to convince everyone that Corbyn was the most popular politician in contemporary British politics.
The thing is, pre-Corbyn the Labour Left had a very powerful argument: they had never been given the chance to run the show. They then took over and ran the party into the ground and destroyed their own integrity & credibility by cheerleading through every single disaster.
There’s no way to reset the clock and pretend you haven’t been given a crack of the whip, that it wasn’t an unmitigated disaster, and that you didn’t support the leadership uncritically throughout that period.
I didn’t sign this letter, even though I agree with the sentiment, because there is nothing in my opinion that is still salvageable from the wreckage of left wing internationalism in the West. Those who stood by while this happened won’t be shamed by letters like this.
One needs only look at the people defending the Syrian Propaganda Superfriends. I will not make any attempts to appeal to the humanity of those who spent the last 10 years allied with genocide enthusiasts.
It was really only a matter of time before Novara Media figures started publicly engaging in apologism for the Chinese dictatorship, I suppose they had to get their kicks somewhere after spending so many years gaslighting Jews.
We’re at the explicitly dismissing human rights concerns stage of propaganda now. Mocking the very concept of liberal democracy doesn’t make your political opponents look like the extremists in this situation, let’s be clear on that.
To put names to it so there no vagueness here, Aaron Bastani and Michael Walker are doing the “Hitler made the trains run on time” argument from the left, using their platforms to whitewash the nature of a dictatorship committing genocide. It’s unconscionable.
