Viscerally upset by the Beth Upton stuff. They won't be satisfied until they have hounded a woman – who the tribunal explicitly found had done nothing wrong – to her death. Btw the "incident" in Australia is that a patient worried she *might* be forced to be treated by her. She of course wasn't.

Mr. Husis wrote that French protests and demands for more welfare resources could give a misleading picture of the country's public sector. He stated that France's public spending accounted for about 57 percent of GDP, compared to Sweden's 50 percent, and that this share was the second highest in the EU. He claimed that the French, even more than the Swedes, had become accustomed to the state taking care of people throughout their lives. He also noted that around five million migrants, mainly from the Middle East and North Africa, had come to France in recent years and that unemployment among these groups was around 20-25 percent. Mr. Husis accused LFI, which he described as left-extremist and violence-advocating and as the French sister party of the Left Party, of inflaming discontent to win votes. He wrote that the same thing would happen in Sweden when riots eventually began. #Frankrike #välfärd #protester (translated)

Tom Bohn wrote that the CDU is practically the biggest problem for democracy in Germany. He especially blamed the party for the migration problem, the hasty phase-out of nuclear energy, the abolition of compulsory military service and alternative service, the Corona and mask disaster, as well as the delaying of urgent social reforms, attributing these points to Merkel. Bohn held Merz responsible for what he called electoral fraud during the federal elections in 2025 and the firewall, and Wegner for the victory of the radical left in Berlin. Bohn traced the current discontent of many citizens mainly back to these points. #Demokratie #Deutschland #Politik (translated)
