This is Steve, youtube channel (edge of the matrix) Steve was part of the group of mostly men who chased Hannah Spenser yesterday. You can see in the footage that as he runs up behind Hannah Spencer he pushes his way in front of her and for a split second he stops and by doing so, stops Hannah Spencer in her tracks. He got within a foot of her. This was a clear case of Intimidation! This guy was the ringleader and needs to be challenged on this. We want his full name and address and if possible, his workplace, if he works, unlikely as spends most of his time as a transphobic billboard. If you see him on the street, hold him to account.

This is one of the anti-trans cultist men who harrassed Hannah Spenser yesterday. Thanks to UK 161 news

Where I live we have the 'Jet Black' which connects Newbury, Thatcham, Theale & Reading. There are at least 2/hour, BUT it goes literally all around houses in between and I can walk between Newbury and Thatcham in less time than it takes on bus. I wish they had 1 express version with minimal stops

Here's my magical device (okay, one of them)

Green Party say 'Hannah Spencer won't be silenced' after Manchester violence Hannah Spencer, Gorton and Denton's newly-elected MP, was ushered into a police car amid the unfolding chaos

The reason the middle-class media has not reported Hannah Spencer being attacked by right-wing transphobes is that it needs to preserve the nice, coffeee-round-the-kitchen-table, middle-class view of transphobia, not the thuggish fascist reality.

This is good on the dangerous absurdity of some of the responses to the war. It's worth noting that 'betrayal', 'humiliation' and 'weakness' are exactly the same terms used week-in, week-out to describe how Brexit was undertaken. This is the embedded political psychology of the British right.

Suffragettes stage "Defend the Right Protest" rally, Trafalgar Square, London, 6/3/26 Ahead of International Women's Day activists dressed as suffragettes - the early 20th century direct action group who helped gain women the vote - protest in Trafalgar Square in pouring rain, calling for repeal of the Public Order Act 2023 which gave police and courts yet more powers to restrict and criminalise peaceful protest activity. The women, supporters of Fossil Free London, aim to highlight the unprecedented punishments given to climate campaigns for peaceful protest. By coincidence, the event took place the same day police raided the homes of "Take Back Power" activists, many of whom were arrested last night at Westminster Quaker Meeting House.

Please read the article. This bill opens the door to politically appointed judges, which is a root cause of the legal dystopia we see in the US. Our legal system has many shortcomings, but the Judicial Appointments Commission is not one of them.

Am paying for joinery lessons as wasn't allowed to take option at school, had to do Latin in Y10 - despite having done exactly same course at previous school beginning in Y7. Prior Latin knowledge helped me catch up 2 years of missed compulsory German within a term but now learning woodwork at 57..

How England’s outdated water tracking system leaves regulators in the dark Experts warn accurately monitoring consumption by bulk users such as farmers, datacentres and businesses can be all but impossible

At the same time water supplies are stretched in England, farmers are finding they need to use more water, agricultural use in England more than doubling in the past 5 years, as Watershed's Rachel Salvidge revealed last year:

White text: strange how nobody cares about pedestrian safety until the villainous cyclist shows up

ZNN isn’t a news station. It’s a propaganda station and they’ll do whatever Israel tells them to do cuz they’re not real journalists. They’re agents of Israel lying and covering for a foreign state. Just like Fox News.

I've just seen a post on Threads in which the author quoted her mother 'Shield of Americas sounds like a discounted panty liner'

Cargo bike next to a large load of groceries just brought home

Can't expect them to get too hot/cold in their metal boxes... (I do have a car, but use it as little as possible)

Oh, definitely, I've been a member of one union or another for my entire working life.

Yep, when I was in @cwaunion.bsky.social I opted out when my values and the Labour Party diverged.

Exactly my thoughts when I first saw the montage 🤣
