Also the contrast between posts from the right about how the Online Safety Act is an authoritarian attack on free speech vs zero mentions of what's happening re Palestine Action.

Well done the Met, well done Yvette, defund the police, don’t want my taxes paying for this farce, it’s ridiculous

Ok but people who think the monarchy is good for Britain has gone down by 9% since 2019.

Oof, solidarity.

Found out my mum is friends with one of the sound editors for Die Hard, Predator and Total Recall. He’s 93 and only just given up teaching to write a book.

That the Labour Party is full of landlords and developers' lackeys is incredibly bad optics when many people are so angry about the worsening housing crisis.

Also had a really nice chat with Paul who runs the pub & was telling me about the pub's troubles during Covid to stay open. There's been lots of huge new residential blocks built nearby but this hasn't translated into custom, and Paul told me one couple he spoke to only lived there during the week.

‘It’s not a coincidence’: after Ghislaine Maxwell’s prison move … what next? Jeffrey Epstein’s sex-trafficking accomplice was sent to a minimum security facility after meeting a top DoJ official who is Trump’s ex-attorney – experts say ‘this is not the end’

Could it be any more obvious that Maxwell has dirt on Trump? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Wikipedia says it was in Luther too.

Gone into a wonderfully old fashioned pub called The Palm Tree near Victoria Park. Cash only, I was the only customer when I walked in.

Alternatively, Wallace and Gromit is a British version of Inspector Gadget.

Wallace and Gromit is just Jeeves and Wooster with a Northern man and a dog.

Former Conservative MP Andrew Bridgen promotes a Russian story claiming that two British army officers were captured by Russian forces in Ukraine, using an obviously AI generated image of two army soldiers being held captive by Russian Spetznaz forces.

There should be some kind of test when you stand to be an MP of whether you can tell the difference between fiction and reality.

‘Worrying’ levels of screen time means young people losing confidence to socialise in person, minister warns – UK politics live Culture secretary Lisa Nandy says ‘majority of young people spend all, or almost all, of their free time alone in their bedrooms, online’

This is not caused primarily by "screen time".

It's been caused by the mass eradication of third places for young people in basically every city over the past three decades - and a society that's hostile to the concept of teens socialising in public spaces.

Most people do not know that there are almost 200,000 homeless people in London because most of them are in temporary accommodation paid for by councils. These councils are all going broke because they are paying private landlords to house the homeless. There is a crisis coming.

A friendly reminder that there are far more decent people in the world than raging bigots.

It is up to the elected officials to listen to them instead of pandering to racists.

He looked like he was trying to cosplay as an Israeli security officer but could have just been a provocateur looking to start trouble and make content out of it.

Things are a bit quieter but both protests remain at the hotel.

This shows a bit of the black bloc clashing with police earlier.

Thanks pal.

One interesting thing I saw was a guy hanging around who looked like a provocateur who was wearing a Star of David pendant and what looked like a dog tag written in Hebrew.

‘Where’s your Tommy gone?’

This shows how many fascists were there when I turned up.

Current situation.

As usual lots more anti fascists in Islington to oppose a far right demonstration.

1-0 to me because you’re a sad troll who is angry that others protest genocide when you can’t be bothered. Get a life.

Sad old man doesn’t understand the Boycott Divestmet Sanctions movement at all. lol. Ok time to block you. Bye bye genocide supporter.

Totally ignoring that Lambeth invests in the genocide. Do you support genocide Charles? Seems like you do.

This is really embarrassing Charlie, lay off the sauce mate. Just because you’re depressed and have given up on life it doesn’t mean everybody is as sad as you.

Zero replies. Nobody cares about your opinions.
