All it took was a bunch of moral free, money obsessed loons to end up fighting each otherโ€ฆ truly Thatcherโ€™s legacy, David Cameronโ€™s cowardice & folly, BJโ€™s hubris.
The pain & suffering theyโ€™ve caused is immeasurable.
Maybe some of the despicable fools will suffer the consequences of their choices.

My friend ruined Bandages for me. You probably know how.

This is really important workโ€ฆ

Labourโ€™s Employment Rights Bill may well transform workersโ€™ rights. But only if people can access justice and enforcement of remedies canโ€™t be dodged.

Do you really have rights at all, if the barriers to asserting them are so difficult to overcome?

Reform losing their shit over being told their policies are racist, so maybe they are too.
What are you then?
Cos โ€˜legitimate concernsโ€™ donโ€™t stretch to violent threats against immigrants, mass deportations or demanding British people be white.
Youโ€™re whiny racists. Donโ€™t blame us for your shame.

Try โ€œjournalismโ€ instead of platforming this liar, grifter, pal of Russia.
Ask him how Reform can govern a country when they canโ€™t govern a local council?
Why are they silent on the Russian bribe verdict (maybe look into that a bit deeper by โ€˜investigatingโ€™)?
Push back.
Hold the fraud to the light

Well thanks for emphasising the party you belong to, Mahmood, because without that, it wouldโ€™ve been hard to distinguish you from the Tories or Reform. All seemingly competing to win the โ€œBiggest Bastard to Immigrantsโ€ prize. You cannot win against Reform, but competing with them disgraces you.

Press fawn over the grifter, they never ever bring up their inability to govern at local levelโ€ฆ. They just let them say what they like, never do real time checks, no Russian bribes, are you a party or PLC?, never ask โ€œwhy are you crap at local level? How can you manage the country with that record?โ€

So, Sunday Times runs with latest poll showing Farage winning if there was an election now. But makes NO mention of Reformโ€™s collusion with Russia. And this is how democracy gets beaten to death in the dark. Voters are not being told the truth. Reform is given the stage but is NEVER held to account.

Youโ€™re a bot arenโ€™t you. Ffs.
No one could be so stupid as to never actually answer a question, or continue to post, all while being unable to deny the facts.
Hooked in by a bot account - smh.

Keep digging.
Theyโ€™ll turn on you, or come for you, or someone you care about, eventually.
By then, itโ€™ll be too late.

Feel free to try and find the lies in the facts I laid out about the speakersโ€ฆ theyโ€™re entitled to their beliefs, but not when it puts people in danger, or breaks the law. Theyโ€™re not moral paragons, theyโ€™re evil, twisted, manipulators & grifters.

Haha!
Racism & bigotry are not free speech, hence all the criminals.
Youโ€™re way down the rabbit hole, which makes me pity you.
You didnโ€™t answer me as to who of the โ€˜free speech warriorsโ€™ speak for you?
Give your head a wobble.
Youโ€™re siding with nazis, conspiracy loons, zionists & millionaires.

@13sarahmurphy.bsky.social pointing out what apparent โ€œreal journalistsโ€ refuse to.
These idealogical fire starters (just look at how โ€˜successfullyโ€™ they are in running local government) only want the world to burnโ€ฆ As long as they are safe, they donโ€™t care about anyone else.
Anyone.

Youโ€™re angry about how crap the world is right now, itโ€™s not because of anything these rich grifters will have you believe.
Immigration. Great replacemen theory, lies about protecting women & children
Itโ€™s quite easy to learnโ€ฆ and grow. Also to just leave folk who are different to you alone.

Brian Tamiki, the Christian superiority loony who says weโ€™re a Christian nation when clearly weโ€™re not?
Perhaps that awful actor Fox? You know the upskirting, libellous bigot, sacked for a misogynist rant?
Maybe you should stop believing the grift these fools are playing, & accept that whileโ€ฆ

Eva Vlaardingerbroek anti feminist & great replacement conspiracy theorist?
Ant Middleton, convicted of assaulting police, guilty of owing ยฃ1m in tax & banned from being a company director?
Avi Yemini the admitted killer of civilians & self proclaimed โ€œJewish Naziโ€?
Hang on, thereโ€™s moreโ€ฆ

Warriors speak up for you?
Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon. Far right facist. Multiple convicted criminal?
Eric Zemmour. Convicted racist, antisemitic Holocaust denier?
Elon Musk. Elite tech bro. Calling for democracy to be stoppedโ€ฆ and NOT on of the โ€œelitesโ€?
Not them? Maybe someone else then?

โ€˜Bigotedโ€™? Maybe you didnโ€™t hear & see some of the activities - racist, islamaphobic, transphobic, most certainly bigoted against a number of groups. All because of what? Ignorance? Fear?
Maybe you need to take a look at yourself & take control of your own destiny.
Which one of the Free speech

Honest to god. I dread to think what the front pages of the tabloids are, given these are the supposedly serious papers.
The immigration โ€˜debateโ€™ has become a ruinous madness.

(Trump also said heโ€™d settled the war between Azerbaijan and Albania, so why are we listening to *anything* he says?)
