Lots in here - and the segment on how modern news media seems no longer to want to report news, but rather to manufacture it, to deliberately create twisted truths to serve the ends of its masters, is very relevant to how the events of these weeks are being 'reported'.

Your analysis is so much better than that provided by the BBC these days.

Well done.

Listening material for dog walk sorted 👍🏼

annharries.bsky.social•1 day ago

I listened twice. It was so good. And I did the same thing on Thursday I have to say.

beninchamonix.bsky.social•1 day ago

I agree and I must say I back @sturdyalex.bsky.social 100% on the need for careful diplomacy above instant social media reactions

samswaine.bsky.social•1 day ago

Just popping in now ☺️

milesmaxwell.bsky.social•1 day ago

You’re right about the role Starmer is (must) play re: Trump. A conduit is essential, and no matter how much we might wish it, the US cannot be isolated. However, I do reserve the right to demonstrate (again) if/ when the Mandarin Mussolini visits the UK!

quietriotpod.bsky.social•1 day ago

I'll be right there with you! A x

Thanks for this

great! downloaded just in time for my flight! 😃

quietriotpod.bsky.social•1 day ago

Bon voyage! 😘

If you accept that we are in a hot war already then it follows that the role of the press needs closer oversight.

What changes would you like to see (if any) and how would you achieve it?

Great episode. Very much agree with Alex

@sturdyalex.bsky.social I just need to say here how utterly awesome you are

sturdyalex.bsky.social•21 hours ago

That's unwarranted but very kind. x

kempchi.bsky.social•8 hours ago

It’s very warranted, acktchually.

rufusdear.bsky.social•12 hours ago

It's not. I wish for the rest of the media to have your knowledge, clarity of thought, and instincts for what's right.

learoydon.bsky.social•1 day ago

Could you post the link or picture of the @carolecadwalla.bsky.social tweet you mentioned, please? I can't find it.

Thank you, @pimlicat.bsky.social !

The problem is that those who need to understand this, will not want to understand this?!?

dantootill.bsky.social•1 day ago

To be fair, we only Brexited once.

monika-uk.bsky.social•1 day ago

Exactly right.

djcrucifader.bsky.social•1 day ago

yes, Oligarchs know each other and are trying to consolidate power and murder poor people and people who are standing in the way of resources.

bellabanana.bsky.social•6 hours ago

Enjoyed this a lot. Very thoughtful

Well said, we need to gradually remove all our eggs from the basket case, which is America.

sophebc.bsky.social•1 day ago

Great episode, rational reflection as far as possible in a newly upside down world 🫨

andyinafield.bsky.social•1 day ago

Summary of the fetid UK press quite correct.

4th estate has been the actual 5th column for a long time. Flaunting their treachery in that arena was beyond obscene.

carmelaki.bsky.social•1 day ago

Such a thoughtful and interesting perspective on the week's events. Thank you team Quiet Riot

Thank you for listening. A x

deaconbiker.bsky.social•1 day ago

Thank you both for your thoughtful, calm discussion that totally recognises the importance/seriousness of the last few days but in a way that manages my mental health..

You feel like friends who look after me, rather than stress me more.

Essential listening for everyone.

You de best.

quietriotpod.bsky.social•1 day ago

You feel like friends to us. A x

Is there a transcript somewhere? Thanks.

Yes. On the Apple app. A x

One thing you didn’t mention is how vengeful and vindictive FOTUS is:
⚫️ he blames Zelenskyy for his first impeachment in 2️⃣0️⃣1️⃣9️⃣ so what happened in the Oval Office on Friday was payback.
⚫️ he felt slighted when the Miss World pageant was held in 🇵🇦 in the 80s, in 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣5️⃣ he wants to invade unless…

lucysetonw.bsky.social•1 day ago

Thank you, Alex, for what you said about the British press in the face of the overwhelmingly important task we face now. What you said was masterly. And it also gave comfort. Thank you.

lucysetonw.bsky.social•1 day ago

So good to hear this calm discussion. On this subject of all subjects.

grumpybb.bsky.social•1 day ago

A perfect dose of Sunday morning sanity.

lafemelle.bsky.social•1 day ago

I said exactly the same about the Starmer/Trump press conference . Our press come across as our enemy , they want us to look bad on the worlds stage . Embarrassing
