Those ‘concerned citizens’ ‘protesting’ (as the BBC puts it) in Dover and Portsmouth. Well they’ve begun posting on-line photos of members of the RNLI lifeboat crews bringing the migrants to shore. Targeting working heroes who are risking their lives to save others. Scum.

A tale of two Labor Day messages today

Mr. Patinkin gets it, and he's Jewish. Why can't MAGA morons understand this? We aren't antisemitic because we oppose the Israeli government's genocide, for fuck's sake. We're anti-war. Anti-genocide. Anti-child murder. Israeli citizens are our allies. The Israeli fascist government is our enemy.

The Southport riots in 2024 felt like rage spilling into our streets. The Dover and Portsmouth protests feel far more planned, far more organised. And, frankly, they scare me a hell of a lot more.

What Happened In Dover and Portsmouth Should Scare Us

The main organizer of the potential terrorist group Patriot Platform is anti-Ukraine and openly supports Russia. Calls the UK government the real enemy. Thanks the Russian government for their support and called for full collusion. His words.

It's an indictment of our modern society where one is acceptable yet the other isn't.
