Desperate, the tide is turning. People will feel the country coming together over the coming few months. The media won’t be able to hide it much longer

They are that stupid.

The idea that Starmer's woes will result in an early General Election is bollocks.
Badenoch and Farage can't be that stupid, surely.

Evil May Day or Ill May Day is the name of a xenophobic riot which took place on 1 May 1517 as a protest against foreigners (called "strangers"[1]) living in London. Apprentices attacked foreign residents ranging from "Flemish cobblers" to "French royal courtiers".[2] Some of the rioters were later hanged,[3] although King Henry VIII granted a pardon for the remainder following public pleadings from his wife Catherine of Aragon.

According to the chronicler Edward Hall (c. 1498–1547), a fortnight before the riot an inflammatory xenophobic speech was made on Easter Tuesday by a preacher known as "Dr Bell" at St. Paul's Cross at the instigation of John Lincoln, a broker. Bell accused immigrants of stealing jobs from English workers and of "eat[ing] the bread from poor fatherless children".[8] Bell called on all "Englishmen to cherish and defend themselves, and to hurt and grieve aliens for the common weal".[9][10] Over the following two weeks, there were sporadic attacks on foreigners and rumours abounded that "on May Day next the city would rebel and slay all aliens".

Happened upon this Wiki entry for a xenophobic riot in 1517 and was struck hard that even after 600 years of extraordinary human progress we’re still beset by the same rabble-rousing fucksters utilising medieval bigotry and the same tired, shit-stirring language.

Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"?

Well, it happens they were doing exactly that.

Now that Farage and his party are the official uk party for Trump (along with the other far right parties in Europe) let’s make sure us progressives say that loud and clear.

The lesson is they are all capable of murdering citizens with impunity

How apt that there’s a dinosaur in the picture as well.

Who wants to see Robert Jenrick in the style of the JD Vance meme?

Time and time again Andrea Jenkyns tried to mask her lack of attention to any detail through outrage.

Reform UK’s Mayor of Lincolnshire everyone…

As mad as Hegseth clearly is, this is a performance, part of an administration-wide truculence toward press that I described in this threat story. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Trump aides do this not to get better coverage but because they feel it's required. And because they're assholes.

Emily Heller lives near 33rd and Portland and said she woke up to a commotion outside her home. She said she saw a car blocking traffic on Portland Avenue that appeared to be part of a protest against federal law enforcement operations. Heller said she heard ICE agents telling the driver, a woman, to “get out of here.” “She was trying to turn around, and the ICE agent was in front of her car, and he pulled out a gun and put it right in — like, his midriff was on her bumper — and he reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times,” Heller said. Heller said it appeared the woman then accelerated and traveled about 100 feet before striking a utility pole and some other vehicles. She could be seen slumped over inside her car.

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis.

A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times."

Bovino was there.

It cannot be left to individuals to take this on.

The site has to be stripped by Governments of its power to disseminate for there to be any useful effect.

How can this happen?

One element in play: the local paper makes zero mention of dividends in its coverage of the accounts. Literally none.

Even though the entire story - for years - has been fundamentally about two men making themselves filthy rich because of bad public sector governance.

If you had come to me twenty years ago and said “in 2025 Russell Brand will be a far-right pundit spreading antisemitic conspiracies and accused of multiple rapes” I would have said “seems entirely plausible, how about those future cars, are they cool?”

Today Donald Trump called for the execution of six U.S. lawmakers simply because they urged the military to uphold the Constitution.

A president threatening death against political opponents for honoring their oath is not “fiery rhetoric” — it’s the language of authoritarian rule.

If anyone deserves being ignored it’s Ben Houchen.

Quite a position to argues that the wokes are destroying a civilisation built on Christian faith but gang bangs are fine actually.

Reading this again (I have re-read it loads as I can barely believe any human would write it)
Aside from the narcissistic view that he presumes Rob Reiner was murdered for his views on Trump he goes on to refer to Reiner’s views as “crazy” but there’s no condemnation at all for the murderer!

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’
