It's so camp. So very, terribly camp. Love the burqas though.

I think 'port blockade' and 'fascists' are the words you're looking for, RTÉ. Report what's happening in Britain, sure, but you don't have to use the diluted cowardly terms that their media uses.
RTÉ News@news.rte.ie · last mo.A "co-ordinated" protest in the UK that appears to be "illegal migration-related" has seen hundreds of black-clad, masked demonstrators block roads in Dover, a local councillor said
A junior cub reporter at a local paper would have been fired for this. There must be a reason why these BBC...mistakes, I'll generously call them... always favour the Right, and have done for years. But I'm stumped as to what it could possibly be. Real head scratcher.
Neil Mackay@neilmackay.bsky.social · last mo.Who would ever have thought that the BBC’s political editor would put out a single source claim that was both false and also great propaganda for Reform…
Had this been an environmental protest, or an anti-genocide march, people would have been hurled into the pig wagons by the dozen, and the arrest stats would have been headline news all over the BBC. You know it, I know it.
HOPE not hate@hopenothate.org.uk · last mo.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...

It has been utterly nauseating watching Hansard get a quasi State Funeral and a mountain of gushing eulogies from people who knew. I'm glad Niall and others have told the truth about him.

This was a massive opportunity for Burnham to deliver some hard facts about climate breakdown. But no, he'd rather blame disposable barbecues and spend the day talking to GB News about small boats. Starmer 2.0

Anon Opin@anonopin.bsky.social · 3mo ago'Keir Starmers' should be Cockney rhyming slang for pyjamas.
Giving massively disproportionate coverage to people who repackaged their bigotry as "legitimate concerns", and then, crucially, not challenging them, has been a catastrophic approach by the British media.
At last! A platform for yet another under-represented voiceless right wing underdog.

Please have a read at this. Important context that the mainstream media simply doesn't bother with.
Mic Wright@brokenbottleboy.bsky.social · 4mo agoIf you don’t have time to read what I wrote today about the Far Right — and particularly Loyalist — exploitation of the Belfast knife attack, just keep this section in mind when you consume media coverage… brokenbottleboy.substack.com/p/radio-elon...
I'm from Newry. I lived in Belfast for years. The neglected areas where many immigrant families live are where violent far-right scum have been smashing the windows of young African care home staff and Asian nurses for decades...
They were definitely not so outspoken when *actual* two-tier policing led to Black men "falling down the stairs" in police stations, young Asian men got stopped for driving BMWs, and Irish people (hi 👋) were routinely arrested on suspicion of being a Paddy.
flyingrodent@flyingrodent.bsky.social · 4mo agoThey’ve been at this catastrophic, wildly inflammatory bullshit *for 15 years* and it was a fraud and a lie in 2011. All the politicians and media figures who have participated in it - and there have been hundreds - deserve to be clapped in the stocks and pelted with rotten fruit.
I know it's a mere footnote to the main issue, but it was inevitable that Brendan O'Neil's massive dome would make an appearance, like a sort of hallmark of brazen stupidity the bottom corner. Your guarantee of Grade A gibberish.
flyingrodent@flyingrodent.bsky.social · 4mo agoAgain, “Marxist Bolshevik intellectuals are conspiring with the lesser races to undermine the Reich and abuse Our White Women” has been the narrative *for fifteen years* on TV, radio and news stands. The difference now is it’s a) undisguised, and b) targeted at Sensible Moderates, not the pig people
I don't know if he'll go with "admin oversight" or "all rules were followed" but I do know this'll be no impediment to unlimited guest appearances and interviews across the BBC, as ever.

Please someone tell me that the Saudi jokes on SNL were there to metaphorically pull down Whitehall's pants on TV. For years I've been asking myself "who is keeping him famous?", and the only conclusion is that he must have the best agent in showbiz.

Can't Pearson take any comfort from the centuries of Definitely Not Discrimination that white men enjoyed, and still do? It's amazing the clown costumes she's prepared to wear for the grift.

At some point, it's a certainty that Streeting will claim he's never had any links to Palantir. In an oversubscribed field, one of the most embarrassing, irritating cringelords British politics has ever produced.

At what point will the 'fascism will never happen' smugsters finally accept that it's already here? Maybe when Trump imposes curfews, bans public gatherings and 'temporarily' suspends elections, disguised as 'emergency legislation'? Will that do it?
I will always maintain that this album is superior to Graceland and the title track is one of the greatest break-up songs ever written. Even by his standards, a masterclass in songwriting.
Dorian Lynskey@dorianlynskey.bsky.social · 8mo agoListening to Hearts and Bones, I still feel like Paul Simon is underrated as a songwriter vis a vis his peers. Some unbelievable work on here and this album was one of his flops youtu.be/nQ7sL9rdl58?...
Any Irish citizen who accepts an MBE, 'honorary' knighthood, or any other silly trinket from the British establishment should be forced to surrender their Irish passport and lick King Charles' bare arse live on TV.
