The men who raised the flags Nigel Farage says this summer’s movement was led by ‘ordinary people’ expressing their patriotism. That’s not what we found

"it is striking how many of the key players we have looked into — the people who have gone out of their way to put up hundreds of flags — seem anything but ordinary."

34 people killed in 50 days. Their guilt or innocence unknown, for an alleged crime that doesn't carry a death sentence. That's a lot of death.

Trump’s Marine Murders We don’t need courts. We don’t need trials. The government should simply decide who is guilty and execute them immediately. That is the Trump regime’s policy towards people it accuses of drug smuggli...

Over the past 6 weeks, the US has bombed boats in the Caribbean at least 6 times, killing at least 27 people they call "narcoterrorists"

Robert Jenrick complained of ‘not seeing another white face’ in part of Birmingham Shadow justice secretary criticised for suggesting he could tell how integrated Handsworth was based on 90-minute visit Robert Jenrick complained about visiting an area of Birmingham where he “didn’t see another white face” and said it was not the kind of country he wanted to live in. After highlighting the lack of white people, the shadow justice secretary said it was not about “the colour of your skin or your faith” and he wanted people to live alongside each other.

The Opposition and the party that’s leading in the polls literally have policies more extreme than the BNP 20 years ago

Christian fundamentalist morality police. If these guys were Muslims this would be a national panic.

Shane Lowry holing an eagle putt and shouting "fuck you" at the American crowd is the highlight of the Ryder Cup so far.

Even better than McIlroy telling to "shut the fuck up" earlier.

Dragon House in York was defaced with racist graffiti last week, targeting a family who’ve been part of their community for over ten years.

One window cleaner from Crystal Clean Services stepped up to clear the abuse.

The ref booking Mateta there - what the actual fuck? Kamada almost has his ankle snapped & the Villa player gets the same punishment as JP for kicking a fucking corner flag? Honestly - referees in this country are absolutely fucking useless. Get to fuck you absolute bunch of baby touchers.

A competent government comms strategy would make quite a big deal that this is actually the second Reform elected representative to be caught using the N-word this week.

This is a real photograph of Washington, DC this week, where the United States president has ordered military occupation in peacetime, and ordered the display of colossal portraits of himself.

What Eberechi Eze meant to Crystal Palace Eze offered Palace supporters hope during lockdown, flung himself into community projects and, in May, made history at the south London club

Eberechi Eze represented the best of Palace. An exemplary attitude, community work & overall demeanour embodied the club's spirit.

A fantastic five years of progress on the pitch & an unforgettable FA Cup winning goal

Has a deserved move & #CPFC have a good deal

Gaza City officially in famine, says global hunger monitor Gaza City and surrounding areas are officially suffering from famine, and it will likely spread, a global hunger monitor determined on Friday, an assessment that will escalate pressure on Israel to allow more aid into the Palestinian enclave.

Leading global experts just confirmed what we’ve long known: Gaza is in famine. At least half a million Palestinians are facing starvation, acute malnutrition and death. And it’s likely to spread.

The U.S. government is not a bystander to this genocide. We can end it today.

The idea was people would complain less about refereeing decisions but instead we now have to analyse VAR and it puts even more pressure on referees. It makes zero sense. Only people who don't attend games want it to work like this.

Give. Him. Whatever. He. Wants! 🏆🏆

This might be aimed at asylum seekers, but in approach and language - especially the parts about the safely of his daughters and not wanting newly-arrived immigrants as neighbours - it’s pretty much indistinguishable from the BNP-style open racism of the 70s and 80s.

There's a realistic chance we get to a position where Wikipedia is blocked while official government accounts are posting on a site that created MechaHitler AI

Huge credit to the Holmesdale Fanatics. This is phenomenal! 👏

13 July 1932 | A German Jewish girl, Lonny Krotoschiner, was born in Berlin.

In March 1943 she was deported to #Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber.

The Telegraph today carries a news story about someone paying £7.4 million for a handbag (Hello, Lady Bracknell!). And an opinion piece describing a wealth tax as a ‘moral abomination’. What a time to be alive.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

‘We thought we’d got the numbers wrong’: how a pristine lake came to have the highest levels of ‘forever chemicals’ on record Holloman Lake was a haven for wildlife and seemed an ideal campsite. But strange foam around the shoreline turned out to be more than just an oddity – and reveals the alarming way forever chemicals move through ecosystems

Israeli strike on Gaza seafront cafe kills at least 20 Palestinians, witnesses and rescuers say The outdoor cafe was frequently used by journalists, activists and local residents.

And on it goes. Israeli politicians using UK media to stoke up outrage around Bob Vylan & Kneecap must be laughing their heads off at how easy it all is. I think this brings the Palestinian death toll *since the Glastonbury performance* in to triple figures.

This looks to me like the very definition of racism.

These are the people that make America great 🇲🇽🇺🇸

WATCH: “I WAS AN INTERPRETER IN AFGHANISTAN FOR 3 YEARS.”

ICE grabs a man whose name they don’t even know at his immigration hearing, shackles him, expedites his removal.

Q: Why would anyone ever help our military again? — Trump is endangering and weakening our military.

It’s exactly two weeks now since Trump said he needed two weeks to decide if he was going to sanction Russia more harshly. I’m sure we will get an announcement very soon….
