Antifascist with @hopenothate. Will post about politics, cricket, travel and food

Good to see the @nytimes.com covering rise of polygenic embryo screening & companies like PolygenX/Heliospect. I just think that it’s important to give the full context of the clear connection to the far right and support of eugenics on some of the people they cover… www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Opinion | I.V.F., Gene Selection and Embryo Screening: Is This the Future of Making Babies?

Advances in genetic testing and artificial intelligence are changing what’s possible for those undergoing I.V.F. Are we ready for the future of fertility?

New story! Andrew Sabisky, recruited by Dominic Cummings to No.10 under Boris Johnson was sacked after his racist views on IQ and race were exposed. We can reveal that he continued to do work for No.10 without the PM's knowledge thanks to friends on the inside.

Today the world feels a much scarier place. Trump is back in the White House, Elon Musk is now funding Tommy Robinson and the AfD is likely to come second in the German elections. But however awful today seems, things will get better. Keep the faith. HOPE will triumph over hate ✊🏼 @hopenothate

Yesterday, Elon Musk posted out in defence of two Nazis who had called for the rape of babies. Now, Musk expressed his outrage over the imprisonment of the main instigator of the summer riots. A man who called for mosques to be burnt down and people (including me) to be murdered.

So let me get this right, Tommy Robinson, defender of white girls and the nemesis of child rapists, yesterday accepted a $30,000 donation off Tristan Tate, a man accused of human trafficking and raping minors…. And then publicly thanked him.

Sadly predictable. @hopenothate has been warning of the growing militancy and confidence of the far right for for the last three years 👉 Police missed clues about dangers of far right before summer riots in England

This is what we are up against! “Threats from the far right have led to venues cancelling planned events with writers and artists. This is part of a worrying trend curtailing the freedom of expression of authors and performers.” www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Anti-racism campaigner’s London book events cancelled amid threat of far-right violence

Freedom of speech groups alarmed after events to promote book by Hope Not Hate employee are called off

We used to believe/hope that COP was an arena for real climate action. Now, depressingly, it’s an arena where oil and gas companies make deals and political leaders are nowhere to be seen…

I’d like to think that Donald Trump’s new cabinet was merely a real life mad hatters tea party, but I’m beginning to fear it’s closer to the Commanders in the Handmaids Tale
