He’ll probably slam that misogyny too, once he’s blamed it on immigrants.

It’s still shaping “increasingly desperate racist appeasing and bigot pleasing” policy.

Twitter used to be good, and then deliberate changes over time, ending in the Musk ownership (which just auto-correct to Muck!), ensured that it wasn’t.

So, it became time to leave.

It isn’t that much harder than admitting to yourself that a band or artist that you once loved is no good any more.

Goodnight screen goddess and style icon. 🙌

There’s a reason academics universally rejected the initial push to canonize Charlie Kirk as a saint devoted to free speech.

We know all too well that’s the exact opposite of reality.

Interesting that even the Guardian is accepting the new definition of “far left” as “anyone who isn’t into Nazis”.

They’re not *like* Nazis, they *are Nazis*.

Posobiec is an advisor to the WH.

Every time I think this stuff gets too obvious for the US media not to ring the alarm they prove me wrong, but god, it feels REALLY hard to ignore now.

Of course we know exactly what Jenrick means, not least because he just told us. 'Integration' to him means dispersal (of small numbers of black faces) among the majority white population 'so they can't congregate, talk foreign languages, drag an area down and generally threaten us'.

It's grim.

Time and again the UK Right is desperate to ape the US. Anyone in possession of a brain wouldn’t want politicised judges or indeed an ICE-style ‘removal force’. I doubt it’s a vote winner (although obviously some really bad things do win votes).

If you can't see how this will end, then you're not paying attention (not least to what's going on on the other side of the Atlantic).

Dave Hill @davehillonlondon.bsky.s... • 5m Jenrick just can't stay out of the sewer: theguardian.com/politics/202... #jenrick #conservatives The Guardian Robert Jenrick complained of 'not seeing another white face' in Birmingham neighbourhood Shadow justice secretary criticised for suggesting he could tell how integrated Ha...

Abysmal shit but again, this is just a much more crass and blunt version of the type of stuff you would’ve heard being expressed more obliquely five years ago, ten years ago. The move has been from I’m Not Racist But to Yes I Am Racist, And.

A halved onion appears to have a smiling face with closed eyes at its center.

i too cry when cutting up an onion but it’s with the happiness of knowing i’m releasing the joyful soul trapped within

The Economist tends to be very well-briefed when it comes to matters of British security. This is the second article I have seen in as many days warning about Russia‘s hybrid warfare against the West.
I would take this seriously.

I guess the core voters are out tying flags to lampposts or wishing they were allowed out.

The Atlantic Fish You Should Avoid Eating Regularly For More Reasons Than One - Tasting Table Avoid Atlantic halibut, as it's high in mercury and has been overfished using damaging bottom trawlers and so stocks aren't predicted to replenish until 2055.

Atlantic halibut has been so seriously over-fished that the species is not expected to rebound until 2055. Another issue with Atlantic #halibut is that, like most large #fish, it's very high in #mercury and could pose a #healthrisk if regularly consumed.

Be fair, she has to fill a tough quota of Tories and fascists.

Thomas Skinner has left to spend more time with anyone but his own wife and family.

There goes the JD Vance contract.

Bosh.

It's not a war until you've faked some photos of soldiers, Piers

How polarised is Britain? Behind media perceptions of a sharpening political divide is a more complicated picture

"Polarisation may be an unhelpful term .... It implies that both sides are becoming equally extreme. Arguably the real dynamic is that elements of the right have hardened, embracing positions that would have been unacceptable a decade ago" on.ft.com/46TGRHs by @henrymance.ft.com 1/

Charlie kirk gets killed by a white man, HBCUs get bomb threats.

White man shoots up a white church, people talk negatively about the Black Panthers.

People get mad about alleged latin american drug cartels, a predominately Black apartment complex gets raided at 2 am

I'm seeing a trend

Time for my old ECHR Venn diagram, yet again.

Like The Bell in Glasgow exposing the neo-Nazi behind the far-right "Tartan Team", it's clear that local journalists are the people doing the work to expose the scammers behind the flags springing up across the UK.

Ryan Bridge has become a familiar face in Stirchley lately. He's one of two "company directors" of raisetheflags.org, where he collects donations from £10-£500 for flags.
