Got to the final move on what would have been the hardest climb I’ve done to date and my hand cramped and made me bail. Gutted. Tomorrow? 🀞🏻

The far right mobilising in the street against sex workers, which is what this is, is more than a niche curiosity and it's weird that no one in replies or quotes is talking about it in these terms.

Peacehaven: Fire at East Sussex mosque probed as 'hate crime' Video appears to show two people in balaclavas at the mosque before a large blaze spreads.

Men in balaclavas set fire to a mosque in East Sussex last night. It's only appearing on the BBC's local coverage, rather than its main national headlines, despite coming just a week after the (also under-reported) firebombing of an asylum hotel in London last week

Police to get new powers to crack down on repeated protests, says Home Office Move follows arrest of almost 500 people at latest pro-Palestinian demonstration in London on Saturday

The Home Office sham "consultation" on cumulative protests closed on 29 September, so this immediate announcement shows Labour had already decided – yet again – to expand public order powers, well before the Manchester attack that is now used to justify it

Every week we get another indication of how likely Reform is to form the next government and Labour panics and announces another reactionary policy to appease right wing voters, witlessly centralising more authoritarian power in the state they are about to hand over to Nigel Farage.

Police to get broader powers to crack down on repeated protests Officers will be able to tell organisers to move demonstrations if protests have caused "repeated disorder".

Passing laws to create new, draconian restrictions on the right to protest - not for the national good but because the government can't admit its proscription of Palestine Action was a mistake and has failed - seems to me a genuine political scandal.

The consensus across the political-media class is fascism is the answer to facsism. What is being disputed is which briefcases will be the ones imposing it: Reform briefcases, Tory briefcases, or Labour briefcases

For those lucky enough to not know this is a neo-Nazi meme normally found on TRS and the Daily Stormer being shared by the official DHS account.

Police change of tack at Palestine Action protest in Cornwall However, a man who heckled a silent vigil was cuffed and taken away after hitting a police liaison officer

Truro - No arrests
"The actions of Devon & Cornwall Police today exposes the policing priorities of the Metropolitan Police and this Government. The protest in Truro shows that it is down to individual police forces to choose where they direct their resources.

The six counties are absolutely brimming with expressions of support for proscribed organisations, ones that are actual terrorists as well, and the PSNI aren't arsed. Weird huh.

I don't think it should be a legitimate political response to an antisemitic terrorist attack to philosemitically link Jewish identity to the world's first good genocide, but then again, I'm not a sensible moderate running the country or editing newspapers.

Tech CEO: I have made this machine that toasts bread and also shoots you with a gun.

Customers: we love the toasting feature but how about removing the shoots you part?

Tech CEO: no that’s the key feature
