Royal British Legion urges activists not to hijack Remembrance Day parade Royal British Legion bosses are urging political activists not to hijack Remembrance Sunday this weekend.

The Royal British Legion is having to ask far right activists not to tarnish the remembrance of people who fought against fascism with flags symbolising a fascistic hostility to immigrants.

An indie band called Wombo from Kentucky. We saw them a few years back and didn't think they'd come around again so, bonus!

Intrigued now.

Going to a gig later.

Anybody else want to use the Lines of Force diagram as a mindful colouring in exercise?

This is yet another example of how you beat the far right. By beating them, not trying to be them. By having your own agenda, not aping theirs. With courage and conviction - and humour - not fear and timidity.

Inspired by The Jase's video, I realised that the Mr Blobby song also works quite well with the John Lewis advert. But then it took a dark turn...

No shame there.

Nigel Farage to promise business deregulation in economic policy speech Reform UK leader to set out ‘pro-entrepreneurship’ agenda while rowing back on tax cuts pledge

Nigel Farage to promise business deregulation.

Translation - Human, employment, consumer, environmental rights will be thrashed. Real wage cuts. Corporate abuses, profiteering unchecked.

Pledge to cut govt spending - cut pensions/benefits. impose austerity. Don't be old, poor, sick, disabled.

Kneejerk idiots talking about "airport-style security".

The reality:

PS. How about instead providing the resources to support people's mental health before it hits crisis point?

FFS indeed. More excellent debunking from @monkemma.bsky.social

Jaywick named most deprived area - again A seaside neighbourhood in Essex, part of the parliamentary constituency represented by Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, has once again been named the most deprived in England. The latest official data showed that an area of the coastal village of Jaywick, close to the town of Clac-ton-on-Sea in the local authority of Tendring, has been classed the most deprived neighbourhood for the fourth time. Areas of Blackpool again make up most of the rest of the top 10, along with new appearances for neighbour-hoods in Hastings and Rotherham. Yesterday's data, published by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG), presented relative levels of deprivation in areas or neighbourhoods of England in 2025. The data highlighted "the scale of the challenge" but does not "reflect the progress made since 2019 or the strength of the people who call Jay-wick Sands home" , the Tendring District Council website said. MHCLG said Middlesbrough, Birmingham, Hartlepool, Kingston upon Hull and Manchester had the highest proportions of neighbour-hoods among the most deprived in England.

Farage earns more than £1m a year for non-MP work GETTY IMAGES - photo of the grifter Damian Grammaticas > Political correspondent 17 August 2024 Nigel Farage has revealed he is earning well over a £1m a year from work he does outside parliament, in addition to his job as an MP. It is thought his outside income is significantly higher than that of any other member of parliament.

Compare and contrast.
Absentee MP -v- his constituency.
Greedy grifting spiv -v- most deprived English neighbourhood.
He really couldn’t give a shit.
He feeds off the inequality and anger to line his own pockets. He doesn’t want solutions because the problems are his income stream.

Trust me, it won't be long. Socks and shorts are deeply unattractive, even on Alexander Skarsgard. Now there's a phrase I never thought I'd ever type.

True.
