Who fact checks the fact checkers?

Saying all the right things. Let's hope it's followed by some action for once.

One has to turn to the Guardian to find the truth, that it is in fact women, who are driving up the mental disorder stats in the UK. Social media is no doubt a major contributing factor to this, as it has been proven to have a detrimental effect on mental health. As the chart below shows, the number of women with mental health conditions is more than double that of men. I told you, they're all crazy!

The truth from the Guardian, well that's as rare as hens' teeth. It is all down to social media though.

If you think sanctions haven't worked, you haven't got a clue what you're taking about. Russian inflation, interest and so on, is going through the roof, and Russian economy is about to go to shiits. If is hasn't already. Their income of oil and gas isn't even covering their increased military expenses, and a massive part of Russian companies are having all sort of economical problems.

Reminds me of Monty Python's Mr Creosote. Just one more wafer-thin sanction, sir?

Oh yes, sanctions haven't worked for the last three years, let's do more of the same and expect a different result this time. Definition of insanity.

The genie is out of the bottle, too late to try and put it back.

Hardly a surprise. All three candidates selected were women, which suggests a DEI appointment. I just hope she's up to the job.

Up to him. No-one else's business, as long as it's legal. Live and let live.

Sir Paul is certainly correct in describing the BBC as the propaganda arm of the state. This became apparent during the 'pandemic' when any critical analysis of government policy (lockdowns, masking, social distancing, jabs, throwing free money at anyone who had a pulse and some who didn't) was brutally suppressed. The BBC's left-wing bias is not as blatant however as another state-owned outlet, Channel 4, although naturally the equally left-wing Independent doesn't even mention this.

Nor does it mention the principal reason GB News is losing money, a boycott by mainstream advertisers organised by left wing 'activists'. Should that be allowed in a democracy? All views are valid but some views are more valid than others? The censorship-industrial complex wields huge power in the UK, and Sir Paul is one of the few media owners with the cojones to fight back against its attempt to impose a single, dystopian narrative on world events.

This article, besides being shamelessly mendacious, has been written as if the last four years under the Pravda White House had never existed.

It's the good old NYT, doing what it does. Hypocritically ignoring the faults of the left-wing censorship industrial complex and complaining when free speech is restored.

It is rather annoying when you see the the rate increase 13.8 to 15% but no mention of the reduced threshold which is the biggest deterrent. Many part tome workers who were previously exempt are now caught with employers and employees NICs. Then there is the frozen tax thresholds, but they haven't increase tax, like hell they have.

It's the stealth taxes that governments of both stripes have used for years to feed the plebs the line "No increases in income tax". It's a blatant lie but as long as non-one calls them out they will keep getting away with it.

While Labor have only been in office a few months, they have to deal with a wrecked economy partially caused by Brexit and Tory mismanagement. Yet higher taxes for the rich are not part of the plan?

"The rich" already pay more than 50% of total taxes in the UK. Squeeze them any more and they'll just get up and leave. 

Didn't you socialists learn anything from the 1970s?
