Gonpo Kyi, the sister of prominent jailed Tibetan entrepreneur Dorjee Tashi, has suffered severe internal injuries and broken bones after Chinese police repeatedly assaulted and dragged her away during #peaceful demonstrations demanding justice for her imprisoned brother.

Yes, let’s all run the wheels of our cars over the memory of those who fought to give us a fair and free future. What a bunch of utter disrespectful thickos.

Reform run Essex Council think that painting giant poppies on busy roads is somehow a respectful way to remember our war dead. Looks a look like an extension of the tatty flags that now dot the great county's lamposts to me

Alfred the Great died #OnThisDay 899. The story of how he became king of Wessex is quite complicated, so I made a short explanatory video.

Nobody is telling you the truth about immigration. Not the Left. Not the Right Britain cannot have a serious debate about immigration while its politicians are using the issue rather than addressing it northeastbylines.co.uk/news/politic...

The violence experienced by our colleague, barriers to reaching medical care and growing restrictions imposed on Palestinian communities are not coincidental. Read our statement: www.doctorswithoutborders.ca/palestine-ms...

A very happy 50th birthday to our patron Tim Minchin. Thank you for the music, the laughter, and these really lovely words on living, happiness, and finding meaning in the here and now. Happy Birthday, Tim!

Are you a young reader? It's Banned Books Week. Seek out a banned book. Find out what they're afraid of you knowing. Reading is revolutionary. Don't let anyone take it from you.

We're being told that if we sacrifice the rights of some people, then the rest of us get to keep our rights. We all know that's some BS.

The techbros don't want you to see this trailer. Pass it on.

Every time someone links to this film, I have to repost it. It's one of the most significant bits of British 20th century art. Everything about it is incredible. Groundbreaking music production by Daphne Oram. Amazing camera work by Wolfgang Suschitzky (who later filmed Get Carter).-

The major platforms—Facebook, YouTube, and X—are all refusing to show the trailer for the upcoming documentary that eviscerates the ridiculous pest Elon Musk. So I guess we have to do our part to make sure it is seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY_8...

These guys are protesting about 'groups of fighting age men threatening local areas'. You've got to admire the irony.

Unease in ‘newly independent’ Piddington as world media and Danny Tommo descend

As villagers take stock following symbolic vote, some fear far-right weaponisation of asylum dispute and influx of ‘masked people like in Dover’

I have spent weeks shadowing the RNLI and I can tell you, they do it out of nothing more than compassion. Wrote about the heroes I've met over the years in this free-to-read post. nicolakelly.substack.com/p/the-rnli-a...

The RNLI aren't traitors; they're heroes

I have spent weeks shadowing lifeboat crews. Here's what they do and what it's like.

Reading this was the final straw for me. An *RNLI volunteer* is beaten unconscious for the crime of being a decent human being and the government say.....nothing?!

What on earth is happening?

Absolutely disgraceful. Who are the patriots and who are the traitors here?

"RNLI crew members had been forced to take their permits off their cars after their tyres have been repeatedly slashed. Most of them have been pilloried at the school gates or turned away from local pubs. One man who worked in search and rescue had been beaten unconscious and hospitalised"

Anyone remember that time when two fighting aged men living at those barracks ran amok and assaulted a member of the public.... why didn't Piddington declare independence then I wonder? www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/2324828...

Genuinely: where is the Prime Minister? Critical infrastructure has been occupied by a fascist paramilitary, volunteers who save people's lives have been threatened and it seems to have gone unremarked upon.

RNLI have closed (temporarily) the Portsmouth station because of these violent ‘men’. Patriot Platform needs to be proscribed now

Just look at the glee on Nigel Farage’s face as he watches a Piddington resident cry about the overt racism she, her Caribbean heritage husband, and their two children have felt in the village during the referendum. Time and again he’s showing us exactly who he is.

Friend shared this video of a man unveiling the library he hid when he fled Damascus in 2011. It’s incredible
