An existential battle for Western progressive values...

On one side….

Strident, jarring, abrasive, bigoted horde shovelled shit by the 1% (and the Russians) who will cling to their minority rule, based on centuries of exploitation, with their last breath. The horde will quite literally advocate democracy dying cause muslims, teh gay, ‘socialism’ etc et al

On the other….

A logical fact driven range of citizens of all backgrounds, urgently in the hunt for accord around by what means we address the central inequalities of our communities and the imminent environmental catastrophe that should be front and centre in everyone’s consciousness.

I have no wish to be hyperbolic, but the future of civilisation may well be at stake.
