Something inside so wrong: Labi Siffre tells Tommy Robinson to stop using anti-apartheid anthem Exclusive: UK singer, 80, says it is β€˜absurd’ as a β€˜positive atheist, homosexual black artist’ for far right to claim his work

Labi Siffre has issued Tommy Ten Names with a cease and desist order against the use of his song 'Something inside so strong'. Good man! I hope he sues him.

One of my favorite films, despite a lot of ham-fisted dialogue delivered by William Holden's character.

Congrats to team Europe for winning the Ryder Cup. Historic and well deserved.

Our fans were disgraceful. An embarrassment to the US team and the game of golf.

No class, dignity or grace…just like their cult leader in the White House.

The post from @realDonaldTrump claims that 24 Karat Gold was used in the Oval Office and Cabinet Room of the White House, impressing foreign leaders and others with its quality and beauty. It describes this as the "Best Oval Office ever" in terms of success and appearance, signed by "President DJT."

Jimmy Kimmel Chokes Up After Returning From Suspension: β€˜It Was Never My Intention to Make Light of the Murder of a Young Man’ An emotional Jimmy Kimmel returned to his late-night stage on Tuesday and spoke out for the first time about his six-day suspension from ABC. Kimmel opened the program with clips from different news o...

Jimmy Kimmel: β€œMaybe most of all, I want to thank the people who don’t support my show and what I believe, but support my right to share those beliefs anyway. People I never would have imagined, like Ben Shapiro, Clay Travis, Candace Owens, Mitch McConnell, Rand Paul. Even my old pal Ted Cruz.”

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.
