    You're the one following the government line, it just happens to be the Russian government.
    There are far better opposing views of the British government than that obvious traitor.

    The idea that my views are extreme is laughable, by the way.
    Attempting to frame them as an extreme establishment position is just silly.

    On the subject of government lines, Lisa Nandy is demanding to know why the BBC didn't sack anybody over that documentary which unwittingly depicted Palestinians as human beings and not figures on a spreadsheet

    As I haven't expressed a view it is extreme to suggest I am following the Russian government. It is also extreme to describe someone who is calling for free speech as the voice of Putin. I don't think free speech is one of Putin's goals.
    Your views echo British establishment views both on Scottish independence and their views on free speech. In both cases the British establishment hold extreme views.

    Just to be clear, I do not support the invasion of Ukraine by Russia however I do not see NATO as innocent either. They had the opportunity to welcome Russia into NATO in the 90s. If that had been a Russian bluf NATO could have called it and gained the high ground. They didn't. Now Starmer's solution to growth is to manufacture weapons and buy 12 submarines. While all the time trying to ramp up fears about war in Europe.

    In this right wing environment it is easy for voices of the left to be cast as extreme especially when there are limited opportunities for them to be heard on MSM.

    ...aaaaaaaaaaaaand Deform just lost another MP, with James McMurdock resigning the whip after media enquiries into his business activities during the pandemic

    This is the one who has an assault conviction for beating up his ex-girlfriend, by the way

    Hmm, I wonder if the BBC will give rolling coverage to this...?
