A reminder that Rafael Behr was so scared of mild social democracy in the UK that it gave him a heart attack which he claimed it was caused by Corbyn's antisemitism. Antisemitism which he is so relaxed about he's now endorsing someone who was jailed for it.

Me: (a smart columnist, looking at claims made by an ex-Tory neo-Nazi booted out of the party for crimes, now standing as a Tory councillor whole doing a rehabilitation tour parroting the agreed media line in his new “anti-extremism” gig) This is extremely convincing stuff, and very worrying.

I mean, what do we think has happened here? Has this guy suddenly seen the light of anti racism or has the Tory party just gone so far to the whackjob right that national front level weirdos are welcomed there? And if it's the latter, what does that tell us about the last ten years?

So Luciana Berger was abused by a fascist who is now a Tory candidate despite his criminal conviction over it, but at the time she allowed everyone to think that the whole thing was about "the antisemitic Labour left"?

After leaving the BBC, Lineker joined Palestine Deep Dive host Ahmed Alnaouq & reflected on the personal cost of speaking publicly on Palestine. They explored why many people feel reluctant to speak about Palestine, as well as the criticism, pressure & smear campaigns that follow. #FreeSpeech 🛑🗣

I remember during Covid when I would buy my Mum's provisions and she'd ask me to get her a Daily Mail too and I was, like:

“Rod Liddle Has Died. Here He Is in His Own Words” The prolific journalist, who passed away on Sunday, urged Muslims to ‘blow themselves up’, joked about ‘trying to shag’ children and mocked an MP who spoke about being a victim of domestic violence.

Anne Frank was arrested on this day in 1944. History rarely returns wearing the same uniform, it returns asking the same thing of ordinary people: Will you sit down and look away? Or will you stand up and fight? #Resist

Just remind me, who are the terrorists? These wankers attempting to terrorise ordinary workers trying to do their job, or pensioners holding pieces of cardboard in protest against actual genocide?

Leaders 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.

If your "bigger goals" for humanity don't involve "allowing human beings to thrive" then your "bigger goals" are shit and you deserve to die.

Do we experience racism at work in the NHS? Yes. Increasingly so. Do we deny these people the care that they need? Very very rarely. At this point, frankly, if you don’t want the care we provide because we’re not white, go find it somewhere else.

A message to trans + people in the UK. Carry on using the facilities you feel most comfortable in from tomorrow. Your comfort matters. Your right to exist in public life matters. The guidance is completely unworkable and it will fail!!

Thought for the day. Migration is part of the human condition. We wouldn't exist as a species without it. We are about to witness the largest migration in history as humanity moves to mitigate the effects of climate change. No line on a map is going to prevent it.

Jeff Bezos has accused NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani of portraying hedge fund CEOs as villains to support higher taxes.

www.theguardian.com/society/2026... Well the Zionist supporting government has to create space for those "terrorists" with placards. The gutting of the Probation service happened when I was a PO (DTTO) in the early 2000's when the Home Office used PO assistants to do PO work and save money.

PM to tighten early release rules but men jailed over PC Harper’s death can be freed

Rapists, child abusers and groomers will not leave prison early but some of those serving sexual or violent offences will now leave after half their sentence

No UK party has an uncontrolled immigration policy. Immigration is a net benefit to the UK now. It always has been. The reason the NHS and council housing are under pressure is because people keep voting for cuts and privatisation. Not because of immigration.

Obvs a twat, but people get sentenced to less for actually killing someone with their car. This caused bad publicity for a car company, though, so, clearly...

Why are child vaccination rates are falling? Cuts* The rich need an ever-increasing share of our wealth, so public services must be squeezed 'til they break *Social media & anti-vaxxers don't help, but the main drivers are staff cuts and reduced access www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

When you alllow prejudice to be normalised in the media and Westminster it always breaks containment and spreads like a virus. Racists always are homophobic and transphobic and never just hate one person or group. If it’s not stamped out it will burn the country down. news.sky.com/story/nhs-st...

This is what is directly known as cause and effect. Shitty regulations Shitty government Shitty profits at all costs People get the shits. And poor people die of the shits, especially the elderly. Liberal/Social/Democratic Capitalism becomes Rentier Capitalism becomes Fascism. Maybe it is?

NEW: 2 people in Michigan have just died from Cyclosporiasis — the first deaths reported from the outbreak sweeping the nation. This after Taylor Farms gave *$2 million* to Trump & Republicans as they postponed a rule that could've limited the spread of outbreaks like the ongoing epidemic.

Your reminder Rod Liddle not only said he couldn't have become a teacher because he "could not remotely conceive of not trying to shag the kids" in The Spectator, but he also wrote laws banning child pornography are "absurd" in The Guardian. Abhorrent.

Trans people would much rather be able to live openly and freely as our authentic selves than be able to say "we told you so," but it looks like "we told you so" is all we're going to fucking get.😒

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

I expect upcoming demos in the UK will attract about double the fascists bc of the US/Mossad orchestrated crisis event in Spain. So stay active, it could incite another round of pogroms by our gullible billionaire led blokey scaffolder middle classes who feed on hate and kicking down for the rich.

A large minority, if not a small majority, of British military personnel would gladly, eagerly, break international law and fire on asylum seekers in small boats in the English Channel.

But you can get arrested for supporting Palestine. Okayyyy 🤔
