The only joke in the Clacton by election is that Farage has got away with so much for so long. And unfortunately the BBC and other broadcasters have been complicit in that. Count Binface isn't the problem. He's highlighting the absurdity.

Really important that this story gets out there. Classic Kremlin disinfomation and smear campaign and lots of people even on this site fell for it. inews.co.uk/news/starmer...
Starmer was targeted by sex worker conspiracy straight from Putin's playbook
It was a conspiracy shared by a handful of social media accounts and ultimately ended up in Russian state media

Sharing this poem again because I think the world needs these words now more than ever.
Immigrants & asylum seekers are not our enemies. They are not responsible for the austerity, privatisation, erosion of civic life, thinning of democracy and concentration of power we suffer. But they're being punished for these things. Punished at the behest of the very people who *are* responsible.
Everyone on X and elsewhere who called for a violent response should be charged with incitement. Everyone involved in the pogrom should be locked up with exemplary sentences. Govt should make it clear that will be the response in future anywhere else. Enough.
If you earned £100,000 per year (and spent none of it), it would still take you *10 million years* to earn the £1 trillion that Musk is soon going to be worth. That's the difference between being "well off" and being super-rich — and that's why we need a #SuperWealthTax
Brexit Racism Russian bribes Christofascist Trump links Clacton house purchase Multiple jobs Tice’s tax The Epstein files The ruinous policies The inept councils The wild corruption… For love of god. When will Farage be held to account? Once he’s been red-carpeted into No.10 and it’s far too late?
Otto English@ottoenglish.bsky.social · 5mo agoSo we're all just letting Farage get away with the £5 million "gift" huh.

Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson has passed away at the age of 84. My thoughts are with his family. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.
