Appalled to see this image of Donald Trump and the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein projected onto Windsor Castle.

Please... for the love of all that is good, do not share it on all your social media channels... because it simply wouldn't be done to remind the world of the association

Loath though he is to alienate floating racists, perhaps Starmer could rouse himself to condemn a violent fascist rally teeming with people who want him overthrown and/or killed

Sky News says police are "overwhelmed by the numbers". Met coped perfectly well with 2x as many at the pro-Gaza rally, 5x as many at the anti-Brexit march, and 15x as many at London Pride.

They're not overwhelmed by the numbers. They're overwhelmed by the ratio of violent thugs in those numbers.

When centrist politicians say "we need to tone down the rhetoric" what they mean is: the left needs to stop asking for better from leaders. After all, we've seen what they say about the flag-touchers and the hotel-yellers. They say it's good and valid.

"We are the patriotic party" says Nigel Farage, who just spent the past few days slagging off his own country to a foreign superpower, while encouraging them to impose sanctions on our economy if we don't do what they say

You did it. The neo-Nazi gig planned for Great Yarmouth has been CANCELLED. ❗

Over 34,000 of you emailed the Home Office and spread the word. Local press, councils and police took notice, and under pressure, we have just received the news that the venue has pulled the plug.

is it only asylum seekers our Labour Prime Minister would object to living next to or would the sentiment apply to black and brown people in general? if merely the former, would he like to explain how he knows people he sees, say, in the street, actually are asylum seekers and not citizens?

Like Cockatoos

Just ordered my copy, cannot wait, fingers crossed I get the one signed Nadine!

'Anywhere But Here': How Britain's Anti-Migrant Media Consensus Is Crowding Out the Truth Britain's longstanding traditions of tolerance and compassion are being suppressed in favour of a media-driven campaign of anti-migrant hate

The real 'two tier' divide in British politics is between the wife of a Conservative councillor calling for refugees to be burnt alive, being treated as a brave 'political prisoner', and the protestors calling for the end of mass starvation and genocide, being treated as domestic terrorists

AI versus the universities How can you test students if their work is being churned out by artificial intelligence?

Pleased to see this piece is still doing business.

AI is an existential threat to the whole university model. I don't think the government or university leaders want to confront what it means. I don't entirely blame them

Amnesty International has launched a global ‘Urgent Action’, following the arrest of over 700 people for protesting in support of Palestine Action.

Amnesty chief Sacha Deshmukh: “It is entirely disproportionate to the point of absurdity to be treating the peaceful protesters as ‘terrorists’"

Not one mention of an opposing viewpoint. The idea asylum seekers should be treated with compassion or dignity is apparently beyond the spectrum of acceptable opinion. Balance simply does not apply in these circumstances.

Not even 9am. So far on Radio 6, the news bulletins have featured a mother saying her daughters aren't safe because of asylum seekers, a Tory politician lambasting Labour for crossing numbers & Badenoch encouraging councils to lodge legal challenges against hotels. An endless stream of hateful bile.

If it's true that Labour wants to fight the next election on the basis of "Look, it's us or the far right", as Macron did, then they're going to have to start explicitly denouncing the far right, as Macron does

Thousands urge watchdog to block Tesla from supplying electricity to UK homes Many UK residents want Ofgem to block the move due to Elon Musk’s ‘clear political agenda’

“We’ve all had a front row seat to Musk’s malign influence. British people are rightly against his being anywhere near our electricity supply and that’s why we are encouraging more people to make their views known to Ofgem."

Another impactful BfB campaign. ~AA

‘I’ve been spat on’: gender non-conforming women tell of toilet abuse in aftermath of supreme court ruling Support groups report that women and non-binary people are increasingly being challenged in toilets and changing facilities – but others call it scaremongering

Oh look, that thing everyone said would happen as a result of this ruling has started happening:

WE DO NOT NEED YOUR PROTECTION!!! This is a party that does not GAF about women's rights - see what they have to say about abortion. See how the far right responds to Andrew Tate.

Men abuse women. Men control women. Your narrative of "protection" is a narrative of control.

Arresting 400+ people for the "terrorist" offence of protesting against mass murder while large segments of the right are openly encouraging riots against immigrants is a tale of a very unhappy country and government.

Fantastic, just read the first chapter and have now preordered.

David Lammy: "We must also praise the courage of ordinary Russians taking to the streets of Moscow, in St. Petersburg and beyond, under the threat of repression, to show their opposition to this despot"

Police arrest 474 people at protest over Palestine Action ban in London Number of arrests was highest recorded in relation to single operation in at least past decade, according to Met police

An abomination. An affront to free speech and an acute threat to the consensus on terrorism
www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

remember when at the start of the russian invasion of ukraine we watched a peaceful protestor being bundled into a black van to god knows where for holding up a blank piece of paper in red square and we were all like 'wow, that's unbelievable'?
