Fascists backed by tech billionaires and AI taking over the world. Frightening .

What I love about Western democracy is you can bung a political party £ 36 million earned from criminal activity & most media will continue to point at asylum seekers & migrant care workers with families as the barbarians at the gate we need to defend ourselves from 🙄.

Ironically, having £72 million will mean I can spend more money promoting the idea that I'm a man of the people and not just a rich, entitled tosser.

I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

People have taken to the streets in at least 35 German cities to protest against the AFD and support democracy. Huge protests took place in cities like Düsseldorf, Berlin, Munich, Leipzig, Magdeburg, Mainz, Saarbrücken — with 25,000 people turning out in Hamburg alone! #ScheissAFD

Woke up after a nightmare about the future of the human race. The concern that AI will lead to the end of us connected with all who work at home & don't visit their workplace. Even the telephone is redundant. A world of sending messages only & being responded to by bots. O me miserum.

Agreed I would suggest that from recent activities of Reform there might appear to be a number of them who i might also have been considered far right by the BBC Marc Gatiss said it all Today's Fascists have a different way of persuading your average person to join their suspect ranks.

Watching BBC News and it's striking to hear the presenters repeatedly referring to the AfD as "far-right" whilst refusing to ever say the same about the hundreds of actual masked blackshirts currently swarming British ports

Love's Labour's Lost sadly closes at the Globe 15 Sept. Wonderful flamenco, music.Katy Stephens delighted us as Maria. Her performance as Holofernes in her other role was hilarious,splendid & unique. Excellent printed programme Ned Costello as King N & Philip Labey really superb Geniune joy 4 all

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.

Indeed! Britain ‘s economy is held back by the Brexit barriers to our largest market (both for our exports and for our supply chains). Time for more ambition than Starmer ‘s slow and partial “re-set” with the EU! Give the country a genuine growth strategy…

Day 2 of my holiday and read The Devil In Amber mystery by the outstanding Mark Gatiss. Actor of the highest quality and a writer who makes you want to keep on reading . Brilliant, funny,a perfect start to some leisure time.

By Friday, Nigel Farage will either have lost his by-election bid to an alien bin, or his parliamentary standards investigation will be active again. Either way, great news if you're not a fan.

Good old BBC. Airtime aplenty for that little Reform prick Yusuf on the prisons crisis. Actual Government and opposition get a brief mention. I keep banging on about this, but Reform has 1.08% of the seats in the House of Commons and they do not merit such coverage.

Count Binface has already done more to praise and bring Clacton to public notice than Farage ever attempted to.

You don’t have to think @countbinface.bsky.social is funny to vote for him just that he would be a massive improvement on Farage. Don’t get hung up on the ‘joke’ just ask yourself ‘Do I want Farage to be my MP?’

Sending much love to our 🇨🇦 Canadian 🇨🇦 neighbors from a Sane American in Seattle, Washington!!

Spot on. The hypocrisy of people like 'Garage' himself a descendant of an immigrant makes me angry and very sad.

Peter Smith@redpeter99.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Not every immigrant to Europe is a Kylian Mbappe or Bukayo Saka but the vast majority contribute to society - doctors, cleaners, carers, nurses, teachers etc. A truth that I wish more politicians would acknowledge.

How much richer could Britain be inside the EU? New research discussed at a Cambridge event suggests rejoining could provide one of the biggest economic boosts available to any UK government. @eastangliabylines.co.uk @cambsforeurope.bsky.social @paulbrowne55.bsky.social

Clacton residents on Nigel Farage calling a byelection, Man, "He's done nothing in Clacton so far, so I don't see the point" Lady, "He promised all these things and has gone back on his promise. He's in it for himself"

So after spending years posing as a political martyr for being "debanked", we now find out Nigel Farage was also reported by bankers to the National Crime Agency over money laundering concerns, after secretly taking millions of pounds from a crypto billionaire

I trust the people of Clacton to judge me on my record. Apart from the record that shows I have visited American more times than Clacton, have never held a constituency surgery and rarely bother to drag my arse into Parliament to do my actual job.

Mr Yusuf clearly lives by misleading a public who only read headlines and not facts. Sadly that is one of the disadvantages of social media.

Amra Watson@amrawatson.bsky.social · 3mo ago

The king of dog whistles strikes again. Today's lie: "Britain only builds new homes for asylum seekers and Prime Ministers." A five-second fact check kills it. Most new homes are lived in by British residents. Fear sells. Facts don't.

Fantastic by election result. Time for all decent Parties to work together to keep the extreme right wing out. So pleased that the Garage was hammered.

Even though he lives in Belgium, he has not moved a cm. Confirmation those who are seduced by him only read the headline and don't check the facts.

Otto English@ottoenglish.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Nigel Farage. A proper football fan who hasn't moved an inch in almost two years.

"The British Far Right are attempting to stoke division here, including in areas like West Belfast. They are well-funded and are using their resources to spread hate and violence. My message to everyone is simple: Don’t be fooled. Don't follow their lead ...." www.facebook.com/PeopleBefore...

There is a japanese legend that says, "If you get on the wrong train, get off at the nearest station; the longer it takes you to get off, the more expensive the return trip will be." And it's not only about trains. #Brexit

Why did the Speaker not kick Farage out of the Chamber?
