   What’s happening in Britain?

   Documenting my efforts to find a more nuanced point of view about the British riots. Consuming news has become so hard, honestly. #News #Britain

     @noam I agree with your povs. I hope you watched the other videos 😄. The other videos mentioned all that.

     The videos I share - I don't agree with most of their point of views, but I include them as they strive for more nuance most of the time.

     @liztai I've watching the first video link in your piece. While this guy has a useful insight about people not having a voice, otherwise I think he really misses the point. He's missing the hardship of poor people that has been exacerbated by the last Conservative governments (food banks serving millions now, as opposed to tens of thousands under the previous Labour government). He says you can't discuss immigration, but doesn't mention the toxic anti-immigrant messages coming from both politics and media for years, setting the discourse. I also think he's wrong about Nigel Farage and the far right; Farage and Reform got a lot of votes because of the shambles in the Conservative party - more than he would got under any other circumstances.

     @noam I have to as I don't trust most of what's dished out to me 🤣. I am also a perfectionist.

     I do like James O Brien from LBC but I do wish I get a more working class view. Like what's their difficulties right now that needs addressed, because right now all I am hearing from the established media is that their povs should be dismissed https://youtu.be/9WzF0qC5poA?si=Y9v0DeQwEMa6o_cB

     @noam my simple conclusion is I can only get a surface level of what's happening in the UK, and that's all there is no matter how much I try 🤣. And that's fine. I doubt many can grasp Malaysian politics just from videos!
