Fascists know they are in a battle for the soul of this country, and they won't let fundraising law, or qualms about beating up dissenters, get in their way. If they win power, they are clear: they will crush resistance. The rest of us are meekly hoping 'someone' will stop them. There is no someone.
Trickle down economics is not a theory ... it's theft!
Unsurprisingly, the fascist Elon Musk has congratulated the AfD on its landslide victory in Saxony-Anhalt, where it secured almost 44 per cent of the vote. EU, when are you going to ban X? When all the major European countries are dominated by the far right? Wake up, you bunch of cowards! #BanX

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
Not because hundreds of men protested, but because they appeared disciplined, coordinated and ready to do it again.

Amazing event being staged in Glasgow by Sir Chris Hoy to raise awareness & research funds for people diagnosed with stage-4 cancer.
1/25 Good morning - long thread as a lot has happened. CENTCOM has tied the destruction of Iranian tankers to imposing economic costs on Iran. That should concern anyone involved in commercial shipping. A merchant ship and the people aboard it are now being discussed as instruments of punishment.
Jimmy Carter lost because underhanded Ronald Reagan told Iran that if they held the American hostages until after the presidential election (to make Carter look bad) Reagan would secretly sell arms to Iran. Reagan then used the money from Iran to illegally fund the Contras, a Nicaraguan rebel group.
This is what met families with children who were heading to Dover – and the police apparently thought this was less of a problem than a few kids with some superglue! 😡 Also note the strategically placed crucifix, as if these racist knuckledraggers have any connection to a church. #FascismUK
Now why would anyone in Dover feel threatened by a couple of patriots, helpfully organised by Danny Tommo, the flag shagger with a made up name who's been to prison for various drugs and violence offences including kidnap.
@andyburnham.bsky.social how are 1200 uniformed 'Patriots' closing an international port for racism part of 'the right to protest ' but Just Stop Oil protests aren't?
West Midlands Police: “We’re aware of a video circulating from the Reform UK Conference showing an incident with a protester. We haven’t received a complaint but would ask the woman to come forward. Anyone with any information should contact us on 101 quoting log number 924-050926”
I've signed this - please may I ask that you do too? It may be belt and braces since the police are allegedly already investigating but if belt and braces are needed to make sure the bastard can't get away with this, then that's just fine with me.
Gem Crawley@gkc1970.bsky.social · 3d ago🚨 An undercover investigation shown on Channel 4 exposed Reform figures allegedly breaking the law over foreign funding. Now demand a full criminal investigation. Sign the petition. 🔥 you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/in...
Kent police said 'no arrests were made' of the people who blocked a port and roads. There's your two-tier policing, folks www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cm...
Port of Dover delays: Disruption as masked 'stop the boats' protesters block roads
Hundreds of demonstrators, wearing black with their faces covered, caused delays to traffic reaching the port.
bbc.co.uk
Yeah, this is absolute bollocks, isn't it? There's nothing spontaneous about a load of middle aged blokes dressed in black, with covered faces, standing in the middle of the road to block traffic.
Tomas Hirst@tomashirstecon.bsky.social · 3d agoThis is not a protest, this is a political action and should be treated as such www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
If you want to know who those masked men dressed in black in Dover are, causing massive disruption and intimidating locals and travellers, look no further - it's Danny Tommo's far-right pratriots having a fashy day out.
Jane@localnotail.bsky.social · 3mo agoLatest from Danny Thommo's Patriot Platform and yes he's an ignorant violent cokehead but that doesn't mean this stuff should just be laughed off or ignored "I WANNA BUILD A PATRIOTIC ARMY THAT CAN RESPOND OUR ARMED FORCES ARE NOT LOOKING AFTER US WE WANT THOSE THAT KNOW WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE"

The UN has updated their climate report, warning that humans have lost the chance to reverse the worst damage of climate change.
Let me get this right: if you're a retired vicar and peacefully hold up a sign opposing genocide, you're a terrorist. But if 1200 morons put on balaclavas and close half of Dover to stop people *escaping* genocide, police "constructively engage." Is that it? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

JEEZUS!!! Chris Mason is just making stuff up now: On #R4Today he described the results of the Welsh and Scottish devolved parliament elections as "big wins" for Reform. Here are the facts:
#SaturdayWord SPIV: ‘a man who is well-dressed in a way that attracts attention, who makes money dishonestly’ ‘a person who makes a living by underhand dealings or swindling; a black marketeer’ ‘In Scotland Yard usage, a low and common thief.’ (Cambridge Dictionary / Collins)
“A party accused of plotting how to get around the law is now promising to impose a “national emergency” so that judges and officials will not get in its way. That is a telling and ominous reveal about how Reform understands power” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
