As part of the Lift the Ban campaign which challenges the use of terrorism laws to suppress dissent, activists are planning civil disobedience actions in 19 locations across the country 18-29 November.

*Is your town or city on the list?*

If you ask a random person what the Royal Family is for, they will screw their face up a bit, and then say "tourism".

The Trump Action Tracker has an update!

Main change is to break down the five authoritarian domains into ten - this allows for easier understanding of why actions have been logged and more tools for searching / filtering the now 1621 actions.

Reform MP's comments 'ugly' but intention was not racist, Farage says Sarah Pochin apologised after complaining about adverts being

Pochin's words were racist, you defending them mean that you a racist too Mr Farage.

Black and Asian people are part of our population, and advertisers choose to represent them with good reason.

"communism" including Marxism (but not, of course, Stalinism) is about EXTENDING democracy beyond Parliamentary cretinism to cover the economic as well as "political" sphere. Read some Rosa Luxemburg and see where your ignorance lies

A brilliant performance from @zackpolanski.bsky.social on #bbcqt last night.

Voters who saw it will be in no doubt that the Green Party is about way more than just the environment.

And that Labour and the Tories are done and the battle is between Reform and the Green Party.

The rich don't integrate

They pay so their kids don't go to your schools.

They pay for Private Healthcare so you don't see them at the hospital.

They live in guarded estates, you are not allowed in.

The only place you MIGHT see them is at work, where they order you around.
