Right-wing extremist – and antisemitic friend of Israel – Viktor Orbán has conceded the Hungarian general election. With two-thirds of the vote counted, his right-wing rival Péter Magyar is on course for what the BBC describes as a “landslide” victory.

Hungarian elections: two cheeks… etc etc

The sudden concession has thrown UK state-corporate media into a spin, with some announcing it and the landslide while others, at the time of writing, say it’s still being fought and is close:

As the careful reader will have noted, both men are right-wingers. Quite hard right-wingers. But while Orbán is EU-phobic, Magyar has promised closer ties with the union. However, Magyar is not expected to change Hungary’s defence of Israel against any stray EU anti-genocide measures in any significant way.

Great. Another rigged ‘two cheeks of the same arse’ result while Israel continues to slaughter and destabilise.
