More to politics than Labour and Conservative - but sadly the others get very little coverage apart from Reform who now seem to be mainstream news despite having never actually won anything.

Media bias is scary at the moment. It's always been the case in our media, at least in my lifetime. Farage on his own has had more appearances on Question Time than everyone involved with the Green Party altogether. Not to mention T*mmy R*b*ns*n and similar.

Labour aside, there's well-known negative connotations attached to that rag that mean it will be looked at unfavourably. I'm sure you know that anyway.

Wasn't aware of LGB Alliance, just read up on them and can't really see why you have put them in the same category as the other two. Are their views really that extreme? Would have thought quite a few people would share them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As they are a legal organization and a registered charity I would expect they could be linked to for political discussion (not that I'm going to, this subject is a real can of worms!).

Well here's another:https://www.thepinknews.com/2020/04/03/lgb-alliance-neo-nazi-homophobia-spinster-death-head-charity-commission/ that links them to neo-nazis, and their founders have said positive things about "Posie Parker" who was referenced as the organiser of the rally where Mein Kampf was directly quoted. They post a lot of the sort of insidious, first-level hate speech stuff that's equivalent to "puppet of the Jewish bankers", while hanging out with the people who post the equivalents of the blood libel.

The reported views are gender critcal, a viewpoint protected in law and consistent with the uk equality acts. Mein Kampf is quoted in the context of someone accusing trans activists of telling a big lie 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
