Inside tech billionaire Peter Thiel’s off-the-record lectures about the antichrist The political svengali and investor has been giving lectures on ‘an evil king or tyrant … who appears in the end times’

Peter Thiel's lectures about the antichrist/Armageddon are unsurprising but wild! Claims that it being difficult for people to hide wealth in tax havens is one sign the antichrist may be amassing power. “It’s become quite difficult to hide one’s money.” 🤣 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The authoritarian crack down on American anti-fascists is deeply worrying to see. It's one of those moments when a fascist leader tells the world who he really is. There must be better ways that European anti-fascists can show our solidarity and offer support.

Is it fair to call the Unite The Kingdom march far right? 🎥

@joemulhall.bsky.social, HOPE not Hate's Director of Research spoke to the BBC on why it's important to monitor who is at the event and what is being said.

Tommy Robinson and his friends at Rebel News couldn’t resist a final grift before his big rally on September 13th.
50 of his most ‘devoted’ followers are paying up to £4,099 for what looks like the worst school trip ever, complete with museums and allocated leisure time.

Reform and X are not Britain, as John Curtice shows, though this loud minority voice thinks it is

Migration bad for economy?
32% of public - but 73% of Reform

Bad for our culture?
31% of public - 81% of Reform

Rights for ethnic minorities have gone too far?
18% of public - but 49% of Reform

Lots of media coverage about the huge number of anti-migrant protests happening this weekend. It's obviously worrying but perspective is important. Across all the demos that happened today there were probably fewer than 1000 protestors combined. It's not a national outpouring.

The article says that people are putting up Union Jacks and the cross of St George. So its clearly mainly focusing on England. But we have evidence of the campaign spreading to Wales and Scotland so said across the UK. Also, the 'army of patriots' is a quote by the Daily Mail.

I'm afraid it's started in Wales and Scotland as well as England.
