I’m not anti BBC because my theory is that there’s good and bad everywhere and I like to look at things from different angles.
Sometimes the Beeb get it correct sometimes incorrect. But I don’t base my views on just one opinion. I’m an adult (so they tell me, but I do listen to the others who tell me I’m not. Then make up my own mind!) ;-) :-) I have a brain. It’s there to be used. I use it. You know the saying; use it or lose it.
Just my two pennorth. Sorry to butt in.

Spiked is an horrendous magazine if you can call it that. Brendan O'Neill the faux intellectual writes some of the most half witted rubbish one will ever read.She's the assistant editor of Spiked magazine, which is funded by the alt-right faux-libertarian Koch Institute.
Positions include -
Anti-BBC
Climate change isn't real
Pro-Brexit
Anti-Lockdown, verging on anti-vax
Anti-NHS
Anti-Feminism
Anti-diversity
I continually ask them on twatter who funds their libertarian fuckwittery knowing they will not or dare not reveal who funds them. Tom Slater the editor of the site is becoming more well known and is often appearing on newspaper reviews etc, he is fucking nuts.
Amazingly many of their contributors used to be supporters of the Revolutionary Communist Party and saw themselves as left wing libertarians. Now they are more closely aligned to the Faragist views and supported the Brexit Party.

My father many years ago warned me in simple terms to beware of extremists, at the time he meant communist or fascist as examples of left and right extremes.
Seems today that they have politically united to destroy what we loosely call a fair democratic system.
I know what he means as I have seen my apathy to political parties (I am not alone) witness unbelievable things at top level in the UK.

Apologies if I was unclear. My father said that to me about 60 years ago so his examples of extreme parties are in the UK perhaps not relevant.
Perhaps today we have the rich getting richer with Liz Truss trying to push that agenda and Mr Johnson and Mr Trump seemingly OK with Mr Putin's agenda.
I'm sure you can find examples better than I can.

What we do have and this is an oxymoron, the centrists are the extremists. We know what the far left and far right stand for, those who proclaim to stand on the centre ground will stop at nothing to get into power, they stand for nothing apart from the continuation of the status quo and the continuation of the ruinous Neo Liberal economics that has produced so much inequality in our nation. The far right and far left have answers to this issue, whether you agree with them or not.Thanks for reply.

Too bad the far right are determined to turn the majority of people into corporate serfs.
