Reform UK’s Laila Cunningham: The colourful face of Britain’s new hate narrative
www.middleeastmonitor.com/20250810-lai...
Reform UK’s Councillor Mackenzie Ritson on Rossendale Borough Council has had a bit of a Facebook meltdown, claiming ‘the establishment are trying to silence me’.
The truth? He got an email from the council reminding him of the Council code of conduct saying:
You can’t make shit up in the chamber.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

EXCLUSIVE TO ALL NEWSPAPERS POWDER KEG UK ABOUT TO BLOW UP AS BRITAIN STANDS ON THE BRINK OF THE WHOLE NATION DESCENDING INTO CIVIL WAR by Our Apocalypse Staff HELENA HANDCART THE entire country has turned into a tinderbox, one spark and the whole thing could turn into a raging inferno of hatred and violence. All it needs is one little push - preferably from us - and this once peaceful island will explode. It may not take much, maybe an article with some badly researched facts, maybe some exaggerated and provocative hyperbole, and before we know it there'll be blood on the streets, and flames too, as millions of furious citizens attack each other, the police, and the emergency services, not to mention the armed forces should they tragically be called in to deal with the hate-filled mob rampaging through our cities, towns and villages, armed with burning torches and pitchforks, calling for justice, free speech and the immediate death of everyone they don't like. (Top journalism, Ed). Make no mistake, if Britain even exists by next week, we will run this piece again until someone sparks the tinderbox on the brink of the powderkeg that... (cont. for entire summer).
No one sums up the utter shamelessness of the British press and the ugly politics of Farage quite like Private Eye.

Support for hardline anti-immigration policies linked to ignorance about migration figures, poll suggests – as it happened www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...
A great example of how perception is reality. Unless you live in Gotham City, it’s actually hard for the average person to tell how much the overall crime rate is changing.
So it then depends on how much they hear about it in the media they consume, including social media.
What a load of absolute nonsense from Reform.

Highlighting the terrifying reality of the lack of understanding a worrying amount of Brits have about immigration. Disinformation predicated on fear and hate.
Read this. Repost it. Ram it down every throat that ever bought Farage’s bullshit. Send it to your mates, your nan, your MP - this could blow the whole rotten Reform racket to hell. Farage isn’t a leader - he’s a conman in a blazer, and his empire’s about to crumble.

I put it to Sarah Pochin she behaved as if she wanted a repeat of last summer’s riots.
The Reform MP was silent in response.
No one should be encouraging this shameful violence, especially MPs.

“This is my local community. I’m worried about my children.”
That’s what a woman told GB News at the anti-migrant protest at the Barbican in London.
Problem is, she said the same thing at a protest in Epping days earlier. 🤦 ❌

I have become the ‘IT Hub’ for three of my elderly neighbours. So much essential stuff now has to be done on-line. There seems to be an assumption that all elderly people have family or someone like me to step in. I am sure that isn’t the case
