This should be so obvious that it doesn’t need to be said, but given what kind of weekend it’s been on here, apparently it does: If you don’t want old rapists running the world, in office, in the board room, making decisions for all of us get comfortable with “ruining” young rapists’ lives

I don’t think I’m the only person who will appreciate this

Good people, doing good people things, but in the dark, late at night

I see fascist thugs are at it again. Time for wholesale arrests and long sentences.

I have spent weeks shadowing the RNLI and I can tell you, they do it out of nothing more than compassion. Wrote about the heroes I've met over the years in this free-to-read post. nicolakelly.substack.com/p/the-rnli-a...

The RNLI aren't traitors; they're heroes

I have spent weeks shadowing lifeboat crews. Here's what they do and what it's like.

My MP has plenty to say about 'controlling immigration.' Nothing about masked men blocking Dover, or RNLI volunteers hounded into hiding that I can find. If intimidating lifeboat volunteers isn't extremism, what is?

As far as I know, there isn't any RNLI presence in Worcestershire, but despite being a land-locked ex sailor I still support them. I'm an offshore member since Farage stirred things up years ago. Here's my letter for what it's worth.

just learned this today

What a fucking world where I find myself writing letters like this to my MP.

I confess I'm not a huge Pressure fan. Admittedly it's my area of expertise so anything not right will stand out more, but Pressure goes beyond condensing history into a film – instead it's complete fiction that damages real history. Here's my review.

Pressure: A very fictional retelling of a crucial D-Day decision

In 2000, an unusual motion was passed in the House of Commons. It noted the inaccuracies in the new Hollywood movie U-571, recognised the true history of the capture of an Enigma machine by HMS Bul…

Crypto billionaires don’t become crypto billionaires by being generous or altruistic. They become crypto billionaires by being greedy, selfish, amoral, dishonest, untrustworthy shites. They don’t give away money for the common good. Is that who should control our politics?

I’m just a person on my fucking knees begging the government to use its absolutely massive majority to do something extremely fucking popular: save our democracy.

ART CHALLENGE for the day! You have exactly one (1) minute to draw me a rhino from memory. No more, no less, use a timer if you have access to one. Once it's done, pencils down and post what you make. And no cheating!

Oh, dear, Mr Ferguson. Oh, dear. ID'd through your Instagram, cross-checked against your self-published photos of you at your place of employment, and a phone call. Your head office is talking to your boss, right now. Enjoy the rest of your week.

We are at the jail our enemies stage of British fascism

Desperate vulnerable people crossing the channel are not a significant problem. Violent thugs marauding on our streets are a significant problem.

Asylum seekers are not the problem. Violent fascist thugs rampaging down our streets egged on by Reform,Tories, Farage and the right wing press most definitely are.

Seems the difference between ‘protestors’ and ‘terrorists’ is that protestors wear balaclavas while terrorists hold placards.

80 year-olds with pro-Palestine signs: arrested as terrorists. Greens planning to block a road, to highlight an existential crisis: sent down for years. Masked far-right thugs blocking roads and ports, using intimidation, obstruction & threatening behaviour: no arrests. The real two-tier policing.

This man was at "The People's Mic" at RefUKCon yesterday, getting praised as a hero by Nigel Farage, Suella Braverman, and Jeremy Kyle. www.thamesvalley.police.uk/news/thames-...

Man charged with public order offences – Oxfordshire

Getting quite sick of being expected to tolerate far-right agitators trying to intimidate people by putting up flags with violence last year and now blockading key transport links, while the police and government do nothing.
