Understanding

These mindless riots are doing untold damage to the UK’s reputation right across the world. And yet the secret sympathisers still say ‘Of course I disapprove of what’s happening, but…’ And then they make the racists’ case for them.

 

John Simpson says in BBC World Service TV ads that the BBC presents the news with absolutely no spin, but makes no secret of his dislike of Brexit and Trump. Today he completely fails to understand what is happening in the riots. I understood why September 11th happened without thinking the killings justified. I understand now - though I didn't straight away - why Putin invaded Ukraine and see stupid US diplomacy provoked him. I say this without justifying the invasion. I completely understand why the Taliban defeated the  corrupt American collaborationist government.
