And that’s not getting into what Tory leader Kemi Badenoch has said in support of Raise the Colours, e.g. ‘it is encouraging to see English flags flown proudly as symbols of unity, nationhood and optimism’ and blamed local councils for stoking division for removing these symbols of hate

Ex-PM Starmer said, in response to Raise the Colours terrorising people, ‘I am supporter of flags’, ‘I’m very encouraging of flags. I think they’re patriotic and I think they’re a great symbol of our nation’ and his family had ‘got St George’s flag in our flat’ www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Raise the Colours Oxfordshire organiser Ben Cullen head-butted a highways worker after police were called to McDonalds in Benson where highways staff were attempting to remove flags from lamp posts; Highways staff now wear unbranded PPE, work in unbranded vehicles, wear face coverings to hide their identity, and do not travel alone for fear of attacks; Highways staff working on streetlight maintenance, not flag removal, have been spat on and abused by RTC supporters; Cullen and his partner Trudy Wells posted the office addresses and phone numbers of highways depots online, leading to comments suggesting “hanging council workers from those same lamp posts”; RTC Oxfordshire fixed trackers to the vehicles used by highways staff, then used this to find out their home addresses – which have been published online, and repeated to staff with threatening messages; Highways depots now have to remain locked at all times; A highways contractor’s sponsorship of a children’s football club is being rethought after concerns that children could be targeted.

The campaign of harassment and intimidation Raise the Colours have undertaken against council staff, contractors, and members of the public as reported by the Clarion today is shocking if not surprising. Excellent reporting. oxfordclarion.uk/the-clarion-...

if a muslim immigrant wrote an article stating he wanted to rape british schoolchildren (as liddle did) the press now praising liddle would be outraged. not on behalf of any potential danger to children, though, they don't care about that. they'd be outraged at the writer not knowing his place

Rod Liddle spent years spouting divisive and hateful rhetoric - turning other people’s lives into clickbait, culture wars and newspaper copy for money. Now the privileged media class are passing judgment from the safety of their TV studios and opinion pages on the very people who he targeted

Ben Goldacre @bengoldacre.bsky.so... • 14h Sad to see people posting on social media negatively about Rod Liddle, who died yesterday. If I have disagreed with you very strongly in life - and you die - I hope I'll be either silent, or kind. 529 1 263 37 ••• Leo Enright @ollopa11.bsky.social • 13h I am saddened by the tone of commentary in this place about my former BBC colleague. The level of vitriol seems more suited to the other place. I worked with Rod at the Today programme. He took no prisoners, but he was witty and personally capable of genuine warmth. My sympathy to his family. 233 1 51 7 •• •DO YOU THINK THE OWL IS A PREDATOR? OF COURSE NOT. HE'S NEVER BOTHERED ME. EXACTLY. NO IDEA WHAT MR. MOUSE WAS GOING ON ABOUT.
