No disrespect to your show but have any main media discussed these Nazi salutes or the presence of snr Tories at the C-PAC conference where they rubbed shoulders (and likely other bits) with those people?
Ian Hislop should try and raise that topic on HIGNIFY.
Not allowed I imagine.
There should be some viral video from German betonΓ‘ΕΎi, who would scold those two "big" man for their half donkeyed bad execution of the salute. As they both were to scared to do it properly, they are cowards even when brutally winning
I landed in late last night and am still marvelling at how british media are pointing the finger across the pond. I include you in that @mrjamesob.bsky.social despite being a fan!
The difference, our Supreme Court held the line and called his antics for what they were. Johnson ran from Parliament after being found guilty of misleading the house, facing recall and a 10 week ban.Our fool wasnt already a convicted felon and sex abuser the US voted in. Slim benefit, but different
Not a history teacher, but it seems that WW2 is not taught at all in English schools, or maybe optionally at KS2. My kids certainly know that Churchill was a bit of a shit
Last night I watched a PBS documentary on the rise of Mussolini who coined the term fascist. Trumpβs rise to power is a direct replica of the fascist playbook: claim the state is failing, blame previous leaders and external forces, invoke nationalism, violently destroy dissent, expand beyond borders
However, after disastrous forays in Africa and Greece, Mussolini had crashed the economy and those who supported him turned against him, he was shot and his body handed over to the mob to be hung from a lamppost.
Fascists in Italy in the 30βs claimed there was one in the Roman era, based on nothing but a single piece of art from centuries later, showing one man with an arm outstretched
The fascists then claimed they all needed to do it because they re-created Rome
No, but Mein Kampf laid out what Hitler thought of Jews and other "undesirables". Also talked of expanding eastwards, praised the US Manifest Destiny and the British hold over its empire. Even talked about how the Armenian genocide was a model to follow
The first depiction of said βRoman saluteβ comes from a painting done by Jacques Louis David. Their arms are not high in the air. The guy on the right is holding weapons (not saluting).
There is no reliable evidence that the Roman salute ever existed.
When quizzed about its origins,Nigel πΈ Farage you know,( him of #farageriots infamy),he said 'Oh yes,it goes way back,it is,of course a kind of Roman greeting usually accompanied by a short sharp shout of 'Sieg Heil' to clear the tubes before swallowing another gobful of the best wine! π·
That seems to be current. "I think open borders are not a good thing" "NAZI!"
"We should probably get rid of federal education" "NAZI!"
"What if we just stopped war and left the world alone?" "NAZI!"
"What if we stopped backing Israel?" "Oh that's fine"
Yeah, like the cartoon going around where the boss asks his employees how do we get people to quit calling us Nazi's, and one guy said "Quit doing Nazi shit".
Does it get tiring trying to link everyone to racism and bigotry? I don't see it in my life at all. DeYonte(a black man) talks more about how democrats are a war front. Hazal(a lady from Turkey) and I all complain how democrats have no idea what's going on.
no ones been able to respond to this but, why cant you americans all join the republican party for the primary, then you all had to do is not let trump win the primary. I know there is a reason, people up here switch parties all the time.
politicans work for you.
As if there were ever any doubt. I was glad when the friends who left Kyiv were granted until October 2026 before Biden left office. Guess the "new sheriff in town" never ceases in delighting in cruelty.
Following her shoulder dislocation, Mrs Tom was given some exercises to do by the physio. Today she was demonstrating how much higher she could lift her left arm. Obviously it was the wrong arm, but I'm not going to lie. I did feel a slight chill of fear, and I think I'm going to report her.
The Roman salute, which he claimed it was, is palm down at waist height. Of course it gave the media reason to debate. There is no debate, itβs a Nazi salute!
If you want to know how it looks like when a country is forced to an unjust "peace", look no further than Bosnia and Herzegovina. Today, war is looming there. And the "country" is being "governed" by the German diplomat.
The people who insist that it wasn't are the same crowd who shit their pants when the drag queens did a tableau of the Feast of Dinosys at the Olympics because they said it was The Last Supper.

Teachers teach what is in the National Curriculum
it's truly jaw dropping.

Greenland, Panama, Gaza, sounds familiar?
Mr Trump your fate awaits you.

The death camps weren't even in existence then
Almost no one... Which is my point. They didn't know
You could argue more people should but in a vastly pre-internet age most people wouldn't...

Nice try douche bags.
History repeats itself?
"We should probably get rid of federal education" "NAZI!"
"What if we just stopped war and left the world alone?" "NAZI!"
"What if we stopped backing Israel?" "Oh that's fine"

Just let that sink in
Now you're helping Putin & to do it all over again - whether knowingly or not...
You may be exaggerating there...
John Bolton warned that Trump had this in mind prior to 2020 to give Putin the freedom to attack Ukraine.
Fine would be feeling better.
We can all not feel fine together, until we all can again, together.
