They want you to demand we leave the ECHR because of this.

No sudden rupture is now required for the far right to take power in this country. For what we're seeing is a steady normalisation of extremists by the Conservative and Labour Parties, BBC, Telegraph, Mail and others. A shift once considered unthinkable beings to look acceptable, even inevitable.๐งต

BBC Laura Kuenssberg Show Accused of Anti-Green Bias After Cancelling Zack Polanski Interview
The new Green Party leader was the only major party leader not to have been granted a conference interview on the flagship BBC show
The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead.
This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated'
The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid.
Naked children torn from their mothers and tossed into vans.
U.S. citizens detained for hours in zip ties.
Doors kicked in and belongings stolen or destroyed.
This is the reality of Trumpโs deportation agenda.

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow thatโs turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

Home secretary wants police to get more powers to restrict repeated protests.
โThe move is not a ban on protests but about restrictions and conditions, Shabana Mahmood tells the BBC.
All of which amount to banning the right to free speech and protest. Stop gaslighting and insulting the intelligence of the public, #ShabanaMahmood. All you are doing his paving the way to extreme, authoritarian government.

UK Opinion Polls
The latest political opinion polls and long-term social and political trends data from Ipsos in the UK
According to this poll, 70% of respondents intend to vote for either labour, reform or tories.
That's 70% who support authoritarian, brexit parties.
That's tragic and upsetting beyond belief. I barely recognise my country anymore.

Many pundits today are pushing the line that everyone who protests the genocide in Gaza is basically either antisemitic or tolerant of antisemitism. But isn't that precisely the conflation of the actions of the Israeli gov't with all Jewish people, which is at the heart of this wave of antisemitism?

"People spreading antisemitic hate and inciting violence against Jews are getting away with it, and we fear the governmentโs approach will do nothing to tackle that while undermining the fundamental right to peaceful protest.
"The Conservatives made a total mess of protest laws and left us with the worst of all worlds โ wasting police time arresting people for legitimate peaceful protest, while letting others get away with inciting violence. I fear Labour seem to be following them down the same path, instead of properly reforming these powers to focus on the real criminals and hate preachers."
