    how’s that possible? every time I see a post about the US all the uk users are taking the piss out of Americans.

    you’re telling me this fascistic rise isn’t just happening in the US?

      I’ve honestly come to the conclusion that a disturbing amount of Europeans would like Trump if he sounded less brash and didn’t antagonize Europe.

    • Former Minister turned Reform member Nadine Dorries backs calls for review of “dogs dinner” online safety laws her government led

      ,Free speech" for the right wing means ,freedom to manipulate public opinion to our desire by the will of our rich donors which happen to own the platforms".

      Especially seeing as she championing it and now she’s getting behind the campaign to either roll it back or amend it.

      She was fucking clueless about it’s impact when it was being spearheaded yet thought she knew better than everyone else and now thinks she knows better because it’s dawned on her just how regressive and overreaching it is.

      A clear demonstration of why the entire political class should get in the bin
