Am Fear Dorcha

You'd better beware of the Russell brothers :o)

All national flags are shrouds, leading to the death and destruction of millions. That applies as much to the Saltire as to the Union Jack or the St George's flag. Nationalism is death.

"social humidity" - apposite phrase. Kent has always been fackin' backward, though :(

Time to revive NO2ID and resist the Security State. Refuse to sign up to authoritarian surveillance.

#no2id
#securitystate

ID controls are back, says #Smarmer. Ostensibly this is to keep track of 'migrants' which if so would be the xenophobic tail wagging the reactionary dog. However, it's really the Security State trying to make hay while the sun shines. The only reason for ID is to surveil and control the population.

In countries going fascist, housing is a key propaganda issue for nazis. This is starkly evident in Ireland, and clear in Ingerlan.

It's also demonstrably untrue over the course of human history, and the irony of it coming from the (immigrant-descended) head honcho of a nation of immigrants is beyond measurement.

What shocked me about the recent US assassination of a nazi propagandist - sorry, 'far right influencer' - wasn't the killing, as that's a regular occurrence in the 'land of the free' [TM], but that he's been dobbed in to the Security State by his father. Truly Orwellian.

Be fearful and be careful of what you say and write. The Farageists have the wind in their sails and millions of worshipping followers, and there is big money and power at stake so they'll not stop at demos.

Scotland take heed: you're next so get while the going's good. Saor Alba!

These brownshits are scum following the orders of their bourgeois fuhrers. Truly the scum led by the scum. They are 'national socialists', ie nazis, and will soon be in power. The world of Children of Men is with us, not dystopia but accurate prediction. There is no hope for Ingerlan.

On the news I saw a bunch of flagshagging nazis, a bunch of dipshit thickos who'll be the streetfighters doing the bidding of Farage, Tice et al. Modern-day stormtroopers, After Saturday's 150k demo, nazism has arrived in Ingerlan and will be here to stay, the same as happened in Hitler's Germany.

The cops have form on this, going back to the '84 Miners Strike when they arbitrarily stopped miners and strike supporters on motorways and turned them back.

I have just signed this petition. It's an issue I care about. Will you sign it too? action.wemove.eu/sign/2025-08...

A cracking blast from the past, Damian. Very atmospheric and evocative of Trotternish where I've walked many a time :)

I can't comment on Albanese's cosplay qualities, not being a Strine, but the term 'progressive patriot' has been used by many on the Left in the UK, not least the radical singer-songwriter Billy Bragg who wrote a book of the same name.

This is a fascinating thread with lots of examples of clever corvids. Respect! :o)

Corvids are seriously clever bastards, right enough. Birdbrains they're not. What's that it's extracted from the tube? It looks disturbingly like a human finger ;-)

and you could just walk on the plane (I remember doing so).That feckin' Thatcherite gobshite is the "scourge" of flying, and should be 'scourged' himself, ideally with a cat o' nine tails. I won't fly GobshiteAir if there's a choice, but often his outfit runs airport monopolies.

Michael O'Leary wants #ryanair staff to grass up passengers taking "oversized" baggage on to planes, and describes such passengers as "scourges". That's how he looks on punters, with contempt. Funny thing, Mickey, it was you who introduced baggage limits on flights - before, there weren't any

Law will change to stop attackers fixated on violence, says Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said she would address a ‘gap in the law’ against planning mass casualty attacks that had no ideological basis.

Word is that the State is now planning to police your thoughts as part of a pre-crime law. If you're planning to, say, write a horror novel, don't put owt down in writing as that'll be evidence that you're a terrorist.

Disturbingly, in the UK, we punters are being forced on to VoIP services by our phone companies. No choice, no consultation. If the local or regional network goes down, there'll be no phone services. I've bought some walkie-talkies in case of this.

Copper lines need no power and work in all circs

Four years in nick for cutting down a tree? FFS! It was a crime, sure, but that's longer than really serious offences. For comparison:

More fitting and far cheaper punishments could be found. Ingerlan has become a seriously and vindictively punitive society.

I "no Bezos" rivendicano: «Saltata la festa alla Misericordia, ora corteo a Santa Lucia» I contestatori sui social: «Tesa 91 dell'Arsenale è un ripiego». La protesta prende di mira la guerra, all'indomani dei bombardamenti decisi dal presidente Usa Trump sull'Iran

Brava #Venezia per dare un gran Vaffanculo! a #Bezos. Venezia è una città viva, non è un parco giochi per un plutocrate. Amo lo striscione: "If you can rent Venice for your wedding, you can pay more tax" :o)

Back when the orange megalomaniac was first appointed. pubs put out money jars labelled 'assassination fund - please give generously'. It looks like assassins are more expensive than we thought ;-\

Grian-stad samhraidh a h-uile duine. Sadly, it's all downhill from here to the winter solstice :(

Why the feck are warmongering posts appearing on my timelines? So much for Bluesky being more pacific than Twatter. Into the killfile it goes <plonk>

Ditto. I'll be in Orkney shortly so I'll look out in the bookshops. In the meantime I'll be rereading the last part of Louise Welsh's Plague Times trilogy in which Orkney becomes the last outpost of civilisation in the British Isles :o)

Following the conviction of a guy for having a 'recipe' for gunpowder, which any schoolboy/girl knows, I wonder if the episode will be investigated for terrorism incitement? Any fule kno how to make gunpowder.
