Suella Braverman - sacked as Home Secretary (p394)

[BobKowalski]

The UKs population density is however quite unbalanced, we have large areas like the highlands of Scotland, the southern uplands and the pennines that have some of the lowest population density in western Europe, and then London and the south east and the Midlands and North west conurbations which have some of the highest densities in Europe. So that figure alone doesn't tell the whole story.

You mean more people live in big cities and not so much in the countryside? Game changer!

I wonder if that applies to other countries? :)

And nowhere else has mountains or lakes?

And he's a sports presenter, not a (supposedly) impartial journalist.

I believe the thing they are all invoking in the BBC code only applies to anyone in news and current affairs and directly employed by the BBC - not like the Gammonati to misunderstand rules is it?

People seem to forget the reason why you can buy a home in the French countryside is because of the flight of people from there to the cities lol - even A Place in the Sun has cited that as one reason you can buy a gite for three and six and a mars bar !!

From the FT.

A leading Conservative business figure has quit the party after almost 40 years, citing the party’s alleged “f*** business” attitude and willingness to put vulnerable groups on the front line of a culture war. Iain Anderson, founder of the Cicero public relations group and named “LGBT business champion” in Boris Johnson’s government in September 2021, said he was switching his support to Labour.

Key to his decision to abandon the Tories now is his belief, based on discussions with party insiders, that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will ramp up the so-called culture wars as a central part of his 2024 election strategy. “It was made pretty clear the plan is to run a culture war to distract from fundamental economic failings,” Anderson said. “It’s not something I want any part of.”

The politician Rishi Sunak is shit at politics it turns out

i Front Page 9th of March 2023 - Tomorrow's Papers Today!

A hardline plan by Rishi Sunak to clamp down on Channel crossings puts the UK's improving post-Brexit relationship with the EU "at risk," the i reports.

Or a fascist.

The thing is Vic, he probably is not, but it shows how easy it is for far right wing propaganda to gain a foothold in communities. The client media gaslight the people, it gets amplified by the likes of that fucking dickhead Farage and like Goebbels said "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it".

Braverman's lie about millions coming here was just an amplification of Farage's breaking point poster.

It is quite heart warming for me to see the opposition to the mad fucker Braverman's stupidity on here, it appears most realise it is a fucking con job aimed at keeping them in power and that the poor people who risk coming here are a fair price to pay for them to continue serving there capitalist masters.

Not to the degree that it does in the UK. For the reasons I stipulated.

The density difference isn't as great in other countries with similar populations in western Europe for the reasons I gave.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

It is inflammatory and wrong
The guy is an Idiot, he moaned about Brexit on a daily basis
The BBC should have sacked him years ago

This is Newsnight, not some ex-footballer, so is this the impartial BBC you’re after?
