VE Day 2025:
A rise in far-right fascism and allowing a genocide.
As I'm sure everyone is aware, Netanyahu has declared a plan to sieze and indefinitely hold all of Gaza.
I urge you all to share this post far and wide and email your local MP to stop this atrocity.
Please contact me if you need a copy of this email to send! This cannot stand.
You want strength?
Then fight for survival.
You want sovereignty?
Then own your energy.
Climate change is real. Itโs dangerous. And Net Zero is how Britain wins.
Not with denial.
Not with Reform UK.
But with truth.
And truth is sacred.
They say they want to โtake Britain back.โ
But back to what?
To oil barons setting prices?
To crumbling coastal towns?
To watching our kids inherit droughts, debt, and disaster?
Thatโs not patriotism. Thatโs surrender.
Net Zero isn't a โwoke fantasy.โ
Itโs an economic fortress.
โข Solar & wind are the cheapest energy sources in UK history.
โข Heat pumps slash bills long-term.
โข Green tech = UK jobs, exports, pride.
Reform UK wants to tie us to 20th-century failure.
Reform UK says โNet Zero is bad for Britain.โ
But whatโs worse:
โข Dependence on foreign oil?
โข Flooded homes & ruined crops?
โข Energy bills rising with every global crisis?
Clean energy isnโt weaknessโitโs independence.
Look around. Britainโs floods, fires, food pricesโthis isnโt natural.
Itโs not the Earth having a โmood swing.โ
Itโs man-made. Human-made. Fossil-fuel made.
Even BP's own scientists admitted thisโฆ in the 1970s.
They knew. They chose silence.
And Reform UK parrots them.
They said climate change is a hoax. That fossil fuels are "freedom." But the truth is buried beneath profit, pipelines, and propaganda. Let me show you what they don't want you to see.

04.05.2025 13:40 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Reformโs โscrap DEIโ policy isnโt about fairness. Itโs about letting discrimination back in through the front doorโthen blaming minorities for the mess they make.
04.05.2025 13:40 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Itโs not just about โsome brown person getting a job over a white person.โ Itโs:
โข Your disabled dad not getting hired because heโs in a wheelchair.
โข Your mum being passed over because sheโs pregnant.
โข Your gay brother being bullied out of the workplace.
This is about you and your family.
But donโt get it twistedโReform UKโs anti-DEI/EDI stance is just as dangerous. Itโs not โwokeness gone mad.โ Itโs stripping away protections that ensure fair access to work, healthcare, and education.

04.05.2025 13:40 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 2 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Farageโs politics broke Britain.
And now he wants to burn the rest down.
Donโt be fooled again.
โStop the boatsโ isnโt a solution.
Itโs a distraction.
To make you forget food prices, NHS queues, crumbling schoolsโ
Things immigration didn't cause.
Whereโs the Brexit dividend?
โข UK GDP is 4.5% smaller than it wouldโve been.
โข Business investment is 11% lower.
โข EU trade is down 15%.
Farage caused this. But no one on the right holds him accountable.
Brexit was Farageโs baby.
He lied, stirred up fear, and made deals behind closed doors.
Then? He struck a pact with the Tories in 2019, helping them win without a single vote split.
And now he dodges all responsibility.
Without immigration, the UK would collapse.
โข NHS: 1 in 6 workers are foreign-born.
โข Social care: 58% of care workers in London are migrants.
โข Food sector: 30%+ of workers were EU nationals before Brexit.
They prey on your fears.
Using unconscious bias and scapegoating immigrants, they distract you from the real culprits:
13 years of Tory failure, austerity, and tax cuts for the rich.
Reform and Farage are NOT your friends.
They donโt care about your rent, your bills, or your kidsโ schools.
They care about power, and theyโll stoke fear to get it.
Owen Lawrence wasnโt just a random guy.
He was radicalized.
He was armed.
And he was deadly.
If you ignore that because it doesnโt fit your narrativeโyouโre complicit.
You canโt claim to care about kids, women, or public safety while excusing white supremacist violence.
This is the double standard.
And people see it.
If you only scream for justice when the attacker is brown, youโre not protecting anyone.
Youโre performing hate.
Youโre defending an ideology, not victims.
Owen Lawrence literally posted about targeting people on the Otley Run pub crawl.
He posed with makeshift weapons.
One woman nearly died.
And yetโthe right doesnโt riot when itโs one of theirs.
No marches. No outrage. No demands for systemic change. No tabloids plastering his face or naming his ideology.
Just the usual: โlone wolf.โ
โTragic mental health episode.โ
โNothing to see here.โ
But when a white, far-right, incel-adjacent man attacks two women with a crossbow and a gun, talks of killing neurotypicals and police, and spreads Great Replacement conspiracies?
Silence.
When a brown man stabs children, the far-right riots. Streets ignite. "Protect our kids" banners wave. Hate spills into the open. Politicians jump on it. Headlines scream.
Outrage is loud. Fast. Violent.
Good article. Lessons to be learned here.
"much of what Labour has done with its huge majority and yet low popularity has served to normalise reactionary politics and discourse, pitting communities against each other, targeting those already marginalised and emboldening far-right actors."
Oh no I'm voting Greens next but this is the kind of videos the other parties will jump on and use them to say Greens are spreading disinformation
