Its seldom if ever that I would paraphrase Margaret Thatcher in a positive manner, but this morning I'll break that convention (just this once, I hope):
The ideal strategy to start to dissasemble the ReformUK 'bandwagon" would be to rob the Far Right of the oxygen of publicity.... something our media are not only uninterested in doing, but actively working against.
If only they covered the Green Party (same number of MPs, more councillors, albeit no Councils) to the same intensity!

Non è di certo una novità che il clima sia cambiato a causa dell’attività dell’uomo. Il primo effetto è l’aumento delle temperature che poi causa a cascata tutti gli altri sintomi di quello che stiamo vivendo

Das Bild zeigt einen Screenshot eines Facebook-Posts von Holger Zastrow, einem Politiker, der sich gegen die Umwandlung von Autospuren in Radwege in Dresden ausspricht. Der Text kritisiert die Entscheidung des grünen Verkehrsbürgermeisters Stephan Kühn, eine der Fahrspuren auf der Marienbrücke für Autos zu sperren, um den Nahverkehr zu fördern. Zastrow betont, dass die Umwandlung oft ohne Sinn und Verstand geschieht und dass es für Radfahrer alternative Routen gibt. Er kritisiert die Verkehrspolitik der Stadt und die Entscheidung des Stadtrats, die Pläne des grünen Verkehrsbürgermeisters zu stoppen. Ein weiterer Text von Team Zastrow betont die Demokratie und die Zusammenarbeit zwischen verschiedenen politischen Fraktionen. Ein Artikel aus der Morgenpost wird zitiert, der die Pläne der Bahnfreunde zur Demonstration gegen die Autospur auf der Marienbrücke berichtet. Das Bild enthält auch ein Foto einer Straßenbahn auf der Marienbrücke, umgeben von Autos, und ein Foto einer Menschenkette, die für den Nahverkehr demonstriert.

VW in Brasilien wegen sklavenähnlicher Arbeit verurteilt
VW ist in Brasilien wegen sklavenähnlicher Arbeit in den 70er- und 80er-Jahren zu Millionen Euro Schadenersatz verurteilt worden - und muss sich bei Betroffenen entschuldigen. Das Unternehmen kündigte Berufung an. Von A. Herrberg und S. Dodt.
So traurig und beschämend das auch ist, zu den Zeiten "stimmten die Ergebnisse noch" - und heute:

Persona è uno di quei film difficilissimi da spiegare ma imperdibili, di quelli con un'unicità che è loro e solo loro. Ma non poteva essere altrimenti con un regista come Bergman, capace come pochi di scavare con efficacia nei meandri più oscuri della psiche umana.

Every time I see a legislative incentive argued "to protect children," I feel like it's because they couldn't think of an actual argument. So instead, they spin it to be about the one thing that every good, pearl-clutching citizen will get behind.
Drag bans, age verification, chat control... And in Norway, it was leveraged against *taxing the rich.*
They act like parodies of themselves and too many people are just eating it up.

Kann mich eigentlich nicht so richtig für ein Bild entscheiden, aber auf jeden Fall #Scotland 🥰
Das Bild zeigt eine atemberaubende Küstenlandschaft mit einem hohen, grünen Klippenabschnitt, der sich in die tiefblaue See erstreckt. Auf der Spitze des Klippenabschnitts steht ein weißer Leuchtturm, der als Wegweiser für Schiffe dient. Ein schmaler Pfad führt entlang der Klippe, vermutlich für Wanderer. Der Himmel ist teilweise bewölkt, was dem Bild eine ruhige und friedliche Atmosphäre verleiht. Die Vegetation auf der Klippe ist üppig und grün, was auf eine feuchte und kühle Klimazone hinweist. Die Wellen des Meeres schlagen gegen die Felsen, was auf die Kraft der Natur hinweist.

in reply to Emeritus Prof Christopher May • • •I think the kinds of things that will undermine and disintegrate the Reform Party are:
Violence by avowed supporters
Criminal damage by avowed supporters
Reform councillors caught in fraud.
Reform councillors refusing to treat with local press
Reform councillors failing to meet legal obligations as councillors, or the whole Council
Reform MPs fighting over expenses.
Many of these are already in play.

I'm far more concerned at retired political war horses that were either left or left of centre fiddling about, messing with core fundamentals like ECHR and the Refugee Convention and Protocol because it undermines the reality that there are 51 million people displaced globally and we're worried about a few that end up with us.
A lot of that is the unilateral removal of Aid & no-one has a plan.

Yes, I wasn't thinking of the Stephen Rea voicing of Adams.... more that underlying notion that (as you say) the coverage is already skewed towards Farage & his gang.... and with less publicity for them, there would be space for other parties that have significant support (such as the Greens)
StuartB
in reply to Emeritus Prof Christopher May • • •They were ready to print/broadcast all of Farage's lies, usually uncritically, but wouldn't do the same for people trying to get the public to realise the nature of the problems we were sleepwalking in to.
Emeritus Prof Christopher May
in reply to StuartB • • •@stuartb
Exactly!
Angela Miller
in reply to Emeritus Prof Christopher May • • •Leigh Silvester
in reply to Emeritus Prof Christopher May • • •Farage is an accomplished self publicist.
He hands journalists the sort of ready to go content that helps them fill their programmes and pages. News conferences and other publicity events guaranteed to contain a bit of drama. Journalists love a bit of drama.
Sure none of it stands up to intelligent scrutiny but that doesn't matter. If some journalists rake over the drivel he gets more exposure.
The sort of people he appeals to are not going to be looking at the sort of news outlets that will do analysis.
Is it really the fault of the news media? Perhaps other parties such as #GreenParty and #LiberalDemocrats should be doing more to attract media coverage. Just no more Ed Davey falling off paddle boards.
Emeritus Prof Christopher May
in reply to Leigh Silvester • • •@leighms
Yes, I think that's a fair point; the financial constraints on many new media has led journalists to never look a free story in the mouth.... and as you say, while it may be unfair, its also incumbent on other parties to raise their communications game - the Scottish Greens have, I think, been better than some...
Alex@rtnVFRmedia Suffolk UK
in reply to Emeritus Prof Christopher May • • •@leighms for instance Corbyn and Sultana made a good start with their "your party" (even if it has a daft name at the moment), but now seem to have gone silent after a month -their website is not updated, they've not even said when their autumn conference will be and don't even appear to be communicating with each other
That Zack chap from the Green Party seems promising too, but again they seem to be surprisingly quiet (although they do at least put out regular press releases which is something)
Leigh Silvester
in reply to Alex@rtnVFRmedia Suffolk UK • • •@vfrmedia
It is a difficult balance to get right.
If you are too populist and concentrate on a good spectacle over facts that would not play well with your educated supporters. Obviously not a problem for Farage and the demographic he is aiming at.
Watched a video posted by Natalie Bennett for the #GreenParty on Blue Sky in response to Jeremy Hunt and the report suggesting over diagnosis of children's mental health conditions.
10/10 for worthiness. 1/10; for news impact. Not noticed any news outlets pick up on it.
Hopefully Zak will help them cut through.
Emeritus Prof Christopher May
in reply to Leigh Silvester • • •@leighms @vfrmedia
If he is the winner when the announce on Tuesday.... if he does win, then there would seem to be an expectation that he will gear up their media activity.... lets hope so

Hmmm.... I agree recently the LibDems have suffered from a skewed news coverage, but I would say (without looking at any longitude data) that the Greens have suffered more and for longer.... but I take the point that the LibDems, post-coalition, have been often ignored or treated as a marginal party

in reply to Emeritus Prof Christopher May • • •beemoh
in reply to Emeritus Prof Christopher May • • •One council- Mid Suffolk.
The excuse they use for coverage is that they follow polling data rather than seats, and as much as I don't like the end result, I do think it's the right approach- polling is a slightly better measure of public opinion but it doesn't necessarily track 1:1 to seats, as I'm sure every Lib Dem will tell you.
Of course, it could be the reason one is polling better than the other is because one gets given so much airtime...
Emeritus Prof Christopher May
in reply to beemoh • • •@beemoh
yes, there is a feedback loop in there somewhere - a bit of extra coverage & that shifts the polls a little, giving more coverage, moving the polls some more.... and so on - the key thing is those initial steps when editorial decisions make or break early coverage expansion
