WTAF?

This is where we are?

After years of austerity & a toxic media environment where asylum seekers - probably fleeing a country Westminster bombed - are "othered" people want the military on the streets

People didn't enlist to assault women & children

The media needs reformed

And the man who brought this fiscal shitshow and restriction on our right to free movement is now currently saying he's the only one who can save the UK

And people believe his lies

Make it make sense

Farages UK

We have a minority of people being the loudest and most aggressive

With a media pushing their message

Farage, in my opinion is copying Trump he wants NGOs & liberal/progressive organisations to fear violence from his supporters

Trump said he'd deport hardened criminals

He's deporting grandma's & pregnant women

If someone fights back (cos the person trying to take them refuses to identify themselves) they get criminal charge

Hi, I'm Emily.

I've started this page to bring together media sources from all over the world, to comment on & share them with you

We're seeing the rise of the Far right in the UK as Trump's gov speed runs the authoritarian playbook

****MILITARY IN THE****
****STREETS****

This is likely to be repeated & justified more, the closer we are to an election

Calling to use military bases conflates a civil & military issue, it also helps Reform frame migrants as a"threat"

Reform & Tories call for military use in migration enforcement in UK

⬇️is what happens when you conflate military with police, when you have militarised individuals masked, in body armour & heavily armed roaming the streets

This is one reason they want to remove us from the ECHR

Tommy Robinson- "man of the people" 😂

Lke Farage he's a multimillionaire

It's all about the grift

The man who wants no immigration in the UK

Deported x2 in 24hrs

Max is spot on here

I will never understand why people say Farage is "authentic"

He's a self-serving liar, like Trump

⬇️ Farage on GB"News" saying if an MP changes party there should be a by-election

He disagrees now, as that wouldn't benefit him

🤔 wasn't this the party that would"save Britain"& bring"DOGE"to our shores? 😂

It was only a few weeks ago that Farage laughed off a question about a Reform mayor giving themselves a 600% raise

I don't know if you're aware of Turning Point UK, the UK branch of Kirks organisation

This ⬇️ is what they were posting yesterday

Apparently trans people are all hormone crazed murderers

They don't exactly seem to be calling for calm either.

I'm also curious how they got charity status

Nigel Farage gives emotional eulogy to Charlie Kirk in Parliament
YouTube video by Daily Express Nigel Farage gives emotional eulogy to Charlie Kirk in Parliament

That's just a few of the examples, not including the riots in England last summer

Farage is doing exactly what the right wing media here and in the US is doing

He's plays the victim

Which helps voters relate to him as Reform voters see themselves as victims

WTAF did I just watch?

Farage had the audacity to get up in parliament & said people shouldn't engage in incitement & vilification

🤔 does that include trans people, asylum seekers, Muslims & every other group he attacks?

... anyway, but now they can justify it to their base.

Fox is now calling for mentally ill people to be locked up or executed. Look it up.

... amendment.

I don't condone political violence

However, Kirk himself has stoked the hate around trans people, immigrants, abortion and on and on

He's been a victim of the hate he spread.

I think this will be the justification used for things the Fascist regime in the US would have done...

Trans people,immigrants, homeless,& now the mentally ill.

Notice that list of"others"keeps expanding

Farage uses anti trans & anti immigrant rhetoric

Reform politicians have started attacking education & teachers

They are copying the US

You see where this is going?

Before the killer has been caught, they are already blaming it on the left and using violent rhetoric.

Notice this Tory said nothing like this when a democratic lawmaker, her husband & their dog were killed in June.

The reality is their rhetoric around both trans people & asylum seekers has made the UK less safe for everyone

Of course, they'll use it to do what they intended to do anyway.

That's one of the dangerous things with Trump & Farage.

They both lie so easily, they both spew hateful rhetoric & both play the victim.

This leads their supporters to play the victim
