“I think having a frontier is very healthy, I think Britain was a healthier society when it had a frontier and was growing.”
Joe Lonsdale, Palantir co-founder and billionaire Trump backer, responds to suggestions the President-elect wants to take over Greenland.

Absolutely disgusting
Am I wrong, or is this mega-wealthy Techbro just a complete Bullshitting Pillock ?
Then lies abt LA fires,then says the most egregious lies abt @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social .He obviously has NO knowledge of UK politics but bbc platform him.Starmer needs to sort this.
Can we stop giving so much time to people just because they’re rich? Don’t normalise this idiocy.
The last line is Capital propaganda.
All of it about everyone.

Caroline Lucas called it. Time for our media to step up and stop admiring and giving airtime to these people.
They're trying to set humanity back centuries while they live it up in their castles.
That’s frontier growth.

Where was the pushback? Faisal just laughed it off and moved on.

It’s what it they did for MMR & autism, & on whether Munchausen by proxy (now called FII) was a thing or not (it is)
They regarded balance as a person representing a fringe view vs someone representing the overwhelming scientific consensus
Same with climate chaos
It’s ….
Enabled by journalists & editorial teams almost entirely scientifically illiterate. (Of which many seem weirdly proud eg John Humphrys)
To introduce them as 'serious' thoughts (because only serious thoughts are on our show).
To move the Overton Window about what behavior is acceptable.
The downfall of empires often begins with the belief of 'why wouldn't everyone want to be like us?'....
He's still unpopular with most people. But he has a lot more political power than before. Starmer is constantly begging for his approval.
All we get is liberals and conservatives. And they're both right wing. It's like they're trying to act like we've always had the same duopoly as the US.
Allowing them to speak is platforming them.
Mention them only when showing why they're wrong.
Meanwhile the UK government is busy trying to embed Palantir in the functioning of our medical system in a way that they can never, ever be removed.
This must stop immediately.
Confidunces.
Good God.... brain worms, again?

This is not Newsnight. This is the Robbie Gibb Show on Steroids, with Nick Watt simultaneously playing both the ventriloquist and his own puppet, which takes some doing.
At least Caroline Lucas put him in his place.
Oh, Maitlis, I miss you.
He lied and lied, and you let him get away with it.
You all sat around afterwards and looked totally bewildered.
When are you going to realise that the Far Right don’t play by rules, and you have to challenge them. Until then you’re way out of your depth interviewing these type of people.
But then, what do you expect, it’s Newsnight.
(They know this. It's why you never see socialists advocating against private capital on any news shows. They silence leftwards only.)
I mean this is gibberish. The question is why the US can’t do allies and partnerships anymore.
THAT’S the question.

Being an island we were hemmed in by the water
Perhaps the Anglo-Saxons may have had one as they invaded Celtic land and pushed its people to the fringes but that was 1000 years and more back
We just invaded countries after they for commercial gain

They just don’t like democracies any more.
The largest military asset for that would be the UK.
The UK nuclear deterrent would need to be detached from the US one like France’s.
The UK would be a huge asset to EU geopolitical and economic resilience.
The US rightly and understandably objected to being a British colony.
But facts are the far right’s worst enemy.
It follows what Hitler wrote and believed about Russia.
How is it possible for life to continue long after brain death?
All our fears have come true.
These mad, greedy plutocrats have been completely unleashed by the madman about to take the White House.
Just ask Putin.
There was virtually no pushback or challenges to what this bozo was saying!
Paxman would have been all over him.

If she replaced the BBC board with people good at their jobs there would be issues for her.
The BBC would question Brexit and the insanity of Labour's stance.
Nandy doesn't want that.
Reporting is addressing the subject by demonstrating how wrong they are.
This is platforming. This is Overton Window moving.
The BBC used to have standards.
