                    As with Priti Patel - it's worth examining the synergy between the anti Islam strands of Indian politics and the far right.
                    I've said numerous times that Patel doesn't seem to realise that the racists she is pandering to would happily chuck her on the boat with all the other brown skinned muslims*.

                    It shows her privilege that she thinks they wouldn't come for her.

                                    I was listening to the R4 news last night at 6. Lead story was Tom Moore, who got 7 (SEVEN ) minutes of coverage. FFS. It was full-on Day Today stuff, going on about he 'went up and down, up and down' in his garden. I haven't seen such vacuity since John Suchet narrated the passage of Diana's cortege up Edgware Road saying 'All the famous names for the People's Princess' before a long pause, in which I imagined he was about to rattle off the names of the celebs who'd been at the funeral, but no, he continued "Dolcis, Top Shop, Dorothy Perkins", which were the shops the fucking car was driving past.

                                      it's always seemed to me that the chief purpose of those news items is like a loyalty test, so journalists can show much they are prepared to abase themselves in the production of what they and the entire newsroom must know to be absolute tosh

                                        If you were an alien recently touched down here, were made aware of the extended news coverage for captain Tom, then discovered that there have been scores of NHS workers who have died while on the front line, I'd like to think that they'd ask why a very old man receives extensive news coverage, while those who sacrificed themselves in a real sense received a passing mention.
                                        How confused do you think they'd be when you explain how the collective fetishism for world war 2, charity and the NHS has destroyed critical thinking skills?
                                        They'd be straight back on the flying saucer wouldn't they?
                                        I saw many posts about how the chap has inspired people around the world, but he really hasn't. Nobody here in Finland knows who he was beyond us British immigrants, nor should they, they have their own war heroes, thankfully they don't get wheeled out in an attempt to boost morale and raise funds.

                                          We must honour the man who felt he had to walk around in circles in his garden because the NHS wasn't funded properly.

                                          I read something on Facebook earlier about how Captain Tom was such a humble man, he not only thanked the TV interviewer who interviewed him, but he also remembered the names of, and thanked, the cameraman and boom operator. What a man, eh? What kind of person actually thinks about the lowly cameraman, who remembers the names of all three people in his house and not just the semi-famous ones?

                                                I can't find anything on the BBC News webpages about the fact that the UK's exports to the EU fell by 68% in January. Shrunk to less than a third, for crying out loud. That should be a lead story.

                                                    Nor presumably ask the Archbishop of Westminster how many female Catholic priests there are.
