MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 2d agoCrowds took to the streets of Dublin to protest Trump’s visit to Ireland, with demonstrators invoking Trump’s ties to Epstein and his alliance with Netanyahu.
How is this bully able to just act like this with free rein?
Jane@localnotail.bsky.social · 2d agoPretty sure that the Daily Mail did not give Daniel Thomas's mum a new house within the allotted 48hr timescale of his demands. Meanwhile "Danny Tommo" took himself down to Portsmouth to harass passersby for not sharing his opinion about people waving flags. Hope his victim is is ok, he did well
Trump becomes the first orange man to support a united Ireland
Richard Chambers@newschambers.bsky.social · 2d agoBreaking: Donald Trump says “I’d love to see Ireland unified…. I think it would be a great thing. How could it be bad?” Oh my word.
What I love about Western democracy is you can bung a political party £ 36 million earned from criminal activity & most media will continue to point at asylum seekers & migrant care workers with families as the barbarians at the gate we need to defend ourselves from 🙄.
Another man who's shown he doesn't care about the rights or needs of women put into a position of power. Women's rights are human rights!
Alex Sobel MP@alexsobel.co.uk · 4d agoIt is a privilege to have been elected as Chair of the Joint Committee on Human Rights. This committee performs a crucial role in ensuring each bill that goes through Parliament respects human rights. We also carry out focussed inquiries on a diverse range of issues that impact us all.
This content from the BBC is awful. It's the public service broadcaster for Britain and really needs to stop the polite, euphemistic descriptions of far right, racist thuggery.

It's hard to think of anything less British than the morons doing this to the heroic RNLI
Finally they came for the Daily Mail and my irony meter just packed up and left and I never heard from it again.
Jane@localnotail.bsky.social · 5d agoDaniel Thomas / Danny Tommo has today marched his private army of blackshorts to Daily Mail HQ to demand a new house for his mum within 48 hrs, after they doorstepped her for a feature on him. Apparently he plans to blockade them + cry at them until they do Bet those lads are glad of the balaclavas
Gawd bless our NHS. I damaged my knee again (ironically while doing physio) so, after hobbling for ice pack & ibuprofen, ended up stuck on a kitchen chair. Called 111 who intended to send an ambulance but then I was directed to 'physio in the community' who're coming out to see me at home instead.

Just Stop Oil jailed for 'conspiracy to cause a public nuisance'. Pensioners treated as terrorists for opposing genocide. Meanwhile, these thugs who actually cause a public nuisance and terrorise people get a police escort. Where's the outcry from politicians?!
BladeoftheSun@bladeofthes.bsky.social · last wk.This is apparently what it means to be 'proud and British'. You hide your identity and act like thugs.
Took a picture of my friends dog at the train station and may have created the best horror movie poster ever

HOPE not hate@hopenothate.org.uk · last wk.This morning at 7:30am, a group of men dressed in black and their faces covered, gathered in Dover. The men, members of the anti-migrant vigilante group Patriot Platform, proceeded to block the port of Dover and several roads nearby. Our briefing: hopenothate.org.uk/2026/09/05/p...
I'm so bored of pompous men telling women to "be kind" when they're anything but kind to women. This has the added 'bye' just to make sure women's legitimate concerns won't be heard let alone indulged. What a twit.
Good news. Unison finally realise that the term woman actually refers to biology.
GeekOnALeash 🏳️⚧️@geekonaleash.co.uk · last wk.@unison.org.uk have changed their policy for their women's conference, which is only open to 'biological females' 🤮 Did I miss something? Did voting to support us mean nothing? Was this decision put to a vote? unison.org.uk/events/2027-...

1. AFM, the labor union representing professional musicians in North America, is paying tribute to Dolly Parton, who was a member of its Nashville Local 257 for 58 years. AFM says that for decades, Dolly consistently filed union contracts for her recording sessions, live gigs and tours.
It's racist and wrong. Firstly, it's not a crime to take photos in public. Tourists do it, photographic journalists, artists, you, me: it's a lie. Home Office will be challenged. And in about 90% of rape cases British men use 'she consented' as a defence: perhaps distribute the leaflet to them!
Esheru@esherukweku.bsky.social · 3w agoThis is the public service announcement, tailored specifically for foreign born men. The Home Office, irresponsibly fuels the stereotypes perpetrated, appeasing the racist right element of the country. This isn’t an imported problem, nor is it race/nationality/religious specific 1/2

"Arday's Law' isn't just impossible, it's a crackdown on press freedom, it's an open goal for the far right, an opportunity for increased government powers. I can't quite fathom how anyone, liberal or left, could sign the petition. Doing so reveals only a lack of understanding of media power.
