83·20 hours agoThe United Kingdom is an utter joke.
Don’t get me wrong. I actually like this country. This is the nation that produced George Orwell, Harry Potter, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, JRR Tolkien…
But they are completely panicked about Chinese interference.
Meanwhile, several of their newspapers are owned by Rupert Murdoch.
John Major, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, has publically said that Rupert Murdoch pressured him to change Britain’s foreign policy :

A foreigner tells the Prime Minister to change Foreign Policy or he will try to remove him from office. How is that not electoral interference ?
Gordon Brown, another Prime Minister, had his family medical files stolen by thugs working for Rupert Murdoch:

A UK Prime Minister that said he was bullied by a foreigner.
A UK Prime Minister that said he was blackmailed by a foreigner.
In fact, it doesn’t stop here. Rupert Murdoch played a key role in Brexit. Remember this headline, a few days before the referendum?
The Queen actually never said this. Murdoch told his editor to publish it.
Nigel Farage publically said: “Brexit wouldn’t have happen without Murdoch”
This is pure foreign interference.
Let’s imagine if Rupert Murdoch was Chinese or Arab. Imagine he was named Li Wu or Mohamed Islam. He buys newspapers and spreads disinformation. He threatens Prime Ministers. Brits would be screaming about the need to stop him.
Do you see protests? Headlines? Worried MPs? They don’t care.
Why ? Because Murdoch is a white anglo. In the british subconscious, white anglos are “our family”.
I’m a foreigner, but I know Britain well. One of the benefit is that I see things Britons can not see.
There is a big difference between criticizing and doing something about it.

Idon’t like China or Russia. Their foreign influence attempts are disturbing.
But Rupert Murdoch has done an extraordinary amount of damage and somehow, it’s consider perfectly normal. US Billionaires are allowed to wire money to UK Think Tanks and it’s somehow considered perfectly normal.
I’m pointing out the irony.
The anglosphere businessmen that UK Elites consider “family” are not inherently better than Russians or Chinese.
