Will Labour ever proscribe them… of course not.
Oxford Clarion@oxfordclarion.bsky.social · yesterdayLeaders of flag-raising group Raise the Colours Oxfordshire placed trackers on highway workers’ cars to find out their home addresses, the High Court has heard. RTC then attempted to intimidate the highway staff into no longer removing flags by repeating their addresses to them.
It's not my fault I lied. It's your fault for being so trusting. #TheArchers
Not speaking ill of the dead is how Jimmy Saville got something approaching a state funeral.
Very upsetting to hear a former prison governor on #wato describing the plight of 1000s (!) of IPP prisoners languishing in jail for years on end for relatively minor crimes. Why not release them instead of more violent offenders who haven't yet completed rehabilitation programmes?
This, 100%. If you are too racist to be treated by the NHS, then you'd better leave the hospital and stop wasting everybody's time.
elia ayoub@ayoub.bsky.social · 2d agoAnd people are free to die of racism if it suits them. Medical workers are dealing with enough shit as is. It’s not their job to have to be uncomfortable in their own skin just because some white people have never grown up
The entirety of the NHS, from inception, was made possible thanks to non-white immigrants. Every accusation is a confession. They don’t want talented people regardless of skin colour. They just want white people regardless of skills.

Frances Ryan@francesryan.bsky.social · 2d agoAs Rod Liddle has died, I notice this column I wrote in 2019 about his attacks on people with M.E. is on the most read again. Rebekah Brooks, of News UK, described Liddle today as “provocative”. In reality, he spread lies about very sick people for cash. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

“36%, Europe’s share of global heat deaths, despite having just 10% of the world’s population” (Economist, 3-Aug-2026) 😔
Ultimately in a pandemic we have to decide how many disabled people, pensioners and front line workers need to die so middleclass people don't have to take care of their own kids. My preference is zero.

Jane@localnotail.bsky.social · 4d agoOk I've done my best to prepare you, but here it is, the hit of the summer, with less than a fortnight to go before the Clacton by-election Mr C presents Sheman - Count Binface There's a guy in the place in a by-election race, and he goes by the name of Count Binface...

An excellent resource which is well worth saving and sharing.
jessamyn@librarian.bsky.social · 5d agoI work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful
OK, I've thought about it, and am pretty pissed off that Bert's shitty childhood is being presented as an excuse for his unacceptable behaviour. Of course, child abuse is damaging and despicable, but experiencing it does not give you a free pass. #TheArchers

Andy Burnham's govt has responded swiftly to news of the Suffolk wildfire.
Steven Methven: "Whether clapping is now supporting a terrorist group is a really good question" That this question even has to be asked - whether just clapping makes you a terrorist, is a sign of how far our govt has gone in its efforts to protect a genocidal apartheid regime
Clapping is now an arrestable offence. Reading poetry is an act of terrorism. Artistic expression will be investigated. The criminal justice system is grinding to a halt because of this madness. Enough.
Saul Staniforth@saulstaniforth.bsky.social · 6d agoJust sitting on the pavement and clapping is now terrorism. Not saying anything, not holding or displaying any signs, just sitting on the pavement & clapping. Andy Burnham can stop this. But he isn't. Reporting by Steven Methven for @novaramedia.com
One person told Netpol that some police officers were also encouraging people to commit an offence by going up to them and asking if they supported Palestine Action, and then arresting them if they said yes.
