It seems that only policies which make money for Reform UK national or local leaders are allowed ... "A café owner who served up free meals to hungry children after food vouchers were removed has been told he will be reported to police by a Reform council leader." www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

London’s haters can’t stand our success. The picture they paint of a lawless dystopia is a gross distortion of reality. And now, neighbourhood crimes are down significantly too, with 35,000 fewer offences on our streets.

Wrote this on how the conditionality of Englishness by the rabid horde of anti-immigration sentiment means you can’t be surprised when people don’t want to support England.
‘Englishness feels like a conditional status. Limited leave to remain English. For all the problems back in Kinshasa, one thing that has never been said to me there is that I am not really Congolese.’ @judeinlondon.com on Englishness with inlimits, from the blog. www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2026/ju...
Just to recap: Calling Nigel Farage “an unflushable poo” = dehumanising hate speech. Calling for hotels housing asylum seekers to be set on fire = guest of honour at party conference. Bless those non-racist free speech warriors.

Guaranteed Reform UK & Farage tactic: when in doubt, tell a load of lies posing as 'the whole world's against me' victim though a far right politician setting Rupert Murdoch up as the villain may not be such a good idea ... 'So he's gone after Murdoch good and proper...' via Paul Elston

@kiaoval.com my dear friend Matt Maxwell Scott was a huge Surrey fan. He tragically died at the cruelly young age of 49 just a few days ago. We are all heartbroken. He was a great Butch fan. It would mean a lot to get a shout out on the coverage so we can raise a glass to our beloved friend.

Vox pops on #r4today from Reform voters in Runcorn is not news. It’s fire-hosing the audience with the abject ignorance and cultish stupidity of a small minority, spouting their bullshit notions of why it’s ok for Farage to corrupt his arse off and lie to them. “We need Reform”. Do we hell.
If Farage isn’t facing a bye election then it shows the entire uk political system is set up for corruption And there’s no hope for Uk politic

If we start thinking that a white or Jewish life is worth more than an Arab, Muslim, or black life the racists have won But that's exactly what Government, BBC, mass media are telling us to think ... the ambulances in Golders Green were headlining for days, with a COBRA meeting , 24/7 news ...
Nigel Farage claims complete credit for Brexit. And he's right. As a result the net wealth of the average Briton was shrunk by more than 5% per year.
Djed Spence, the first Muslim man to play football for England, refused to shake hands with alleged rapist Thomas Partey last night. Nigel Farage, self-appointed saviour of ‘Judeo-Christian values’, described alleged rapist Andrew Tate as ‘an important voice’ for men young men a couple of years ago.

The attacks in Edinburgh, in which an armed bare-chested white man terrorised Muslims, leaving five people injured, don't feature on a single newspaper front page this morning. Two tier journalism
It is inescapable now that many politicians & most of our media judge the severity & seriousness of a crime differently according to the ethnicity of the perpetrator and/or victim. An utterly hideous state of affairs ushered in eagerly by Nigel Farage & Elon Musk. It is very easy to do better.
Comparing coverage of the Belfast and Edinburgh attacks, it seems that if politicians politicise and racialise a crime, then it will get far more attention than a crime that is in itself political and racist but doesn’t serve a political agenda. That’s not a good message
If he doesn’t win something soon, I wonder whether Nigel Farage will retire to spend more time with other people’s money.
