Big fan of how Russia can shut down a major UK port for half a day with just 5kg of cocaine and 100 severely divorced men.
The media chatterers amplifying the views of the black shirted thugs are blissfully unaware that they're coming for them, too. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow. But soon.
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
Nick Robinson on Today is literally talking about ‘legitimate concerns’ after second night of organised men dressed in black - sorry ‘protesters’ - mobilising en masse in another littoral town. This is how street fascism is normalised
This is a harrowing but excellent piece of journalism. Have ordered the book as a result .
Neil Mackay@neilmackay.bsky.social · 3w agoSurviving Loretto: ‘I was tortured and abused. Now I want boarding schools called to account’ I talk to Angus Bell who survived years of pupil-on-pupil abuse. He says boarding schools were a ‘factory creating sadists and psychopaths to rule Britain’. Content warning In @heraldscotland.bsky.social
Strange that Farage isn't issuing an 'Emergency Address to a Worried Nation' over the exclusively white gang violence currently engulfing Middlesbrough.
“Reform will end ‘something for nothing’ Britain.” - Nigel Farage. He receives £98,599 a year as an MP, yet for more than three months this year he didn't cast a single parliamentary vote or make a single written contribution or speech in Parliament either. But yes, let’s shout at poor people
White professor ‘ MattGPT ‘ whose most recent book contained fabricated quotations, non-existent source references, & left ChatGPT URLs accidentally embedded in footnotes is sad about Jason Arday’s death but still wants Arday & all black academia held to higher standards than his own writing .
I heard Lee Anderson on Today saying that no one wanted to live next to an HMO housing people seeking asylum. As far as I can tell, my back garden abuts the back garden of a house that does indeed house asylum seekers, so I thought I'd give a brief account of why I am in fact fine about it.
I'll bet you these projects will never see a large chunk of that money. We pay for the system through our bills. Yet almost 1/3 of them go to returns for investors and creditors. We pay for the infrastructure, for the debt, for the profits. And they keep asking for more. We need public ownership.
Majestic review from @rostaylor.bsky.social in today’s @thenewworldmag.bsky.social , all the more so as it’s partly written in Gervaish. It was indeed “wearisome”. Thank you for watching it to the end. I had to switch it off .
I got this message from a mum of a boy who loves comics, on the same day I got a message from a dad who’s very ill son had his life transformed by reading comics. This stigma about comics really has to stop. It’s detrimental to children just as they’re learning how to express themselves.
Turns out it happened on July 23rd. Give him a boost and let's do something nice
X is a major national security vulnerability that UK government and politicians continue to prop up.
Most X accounts posting about Belfast and Southampton unrest were based outside UK
Exclusive: Analysis shows 55% of accounts were overseas – and seven of 12 most-read posts came from US

Thames Water’s service has been shoddy, expensive and wasteful. They need to stop moaning and get a grip. Not a penny of taxpayers' money should be used to bail out their shareholders.

Lord Sadiq Khan said Thames Water’s bosses and the regulator Ofwat needed to “get a grip” after years of “shoddy service”

Lee Anderson once got his mate to pretend he didn't know him in a failed attempt to trick a journalist. Just let that sink in.
Small Dorset Town stands up to racism. Local anger in Wimborne is through the roof. But nothing reported anywhere. Meanwhile - six flag waving idiots turns up outside a hotel in Epping and its front page news.
Otto English@ottoenglish.bsky.social · 3mo agoSo I'm told a crowd of about 100 people turned up in Wimborne to protest against Katie Hopkins appearing there. Really impressive demo for such a small town showing the strength of feeling. Well done Wimborne.
No school should be on X or oblige parents to get updates from it. A site that actively promotes porn, bullying, hate and fascism is not an appropriate place to post pictures of sports days.
Charlotte Santry@charlottesantry.bsky.social · 3mo agoLisa Nandy’s the latest high-profile departure from X: should schools leave the platform too? Here’s what the attorney general told @cerysturner.bsky.social in an exclusive interview: www.tes.com/magazine/new...
How conventient for political journalists, to all be gathered in Downing Street once more, so they can interview each other, to ask "how did this happen?", without ever acknowledging that, at least in part, they themselves are how this happened.
Labour won by 20 points and net immigration is down by over 80% in two years. But sure write your column again.
The attacks in Edinburgh, in which an armed bare-chested white man terrorised Muslims, leaving five people injured, don't feature on a single newspaper front page this morning. Two tier journalism
