Watch this and then watch The Man Who Knew Too much, also on Youtube, about Colin Wallace, who was very high up in UK army (psyops) and was framed for manslaughter when he tried to get people to do something about the abuse at Kincora.

His conviction has since been quashed.

really interesting to me how many professional political commentators have basically retconned the draconian immigration enforcement policies of Obama and Biden out of existence and have completely swallowed the right wing narrative of immigration enforcement

You'd hope Belfast's Lord Mayor would call out a racist account spouting replacement theory nonsense, but no.

Jack Duffy attaches a respirator to his bagpipes to play through tear gas. “I always play it whenever the police retreat because it's like, ‘You fucking ran while we stayed,’” he says.

i know most of my friends on here aren’t concerned about tabletop rpg drama but that means you guys are missing out on the neopets ttrpg being mostly a 5e hack where you kill bandits and it has rules for blowing up neopets with dynamite

PSNI curbs migrant victims’ data sharing with Home Office after ‘institutional racism’ concerns

NEW: Police in Northern Ireland will curb sharing data on migrant victims of crime with UK immigration enforcement, after admitting that routine sharing “could be perceived as constituting institutional racism”.

I’ll have been in country for ten years in August, & should have been eligible for ILR, then citizenship the day after we get married in November. I have paid in the range of £15k in visa fees since arriving, and have been in work nonstop, paying tax.

This fascist dumbass is stealing that.

Ban on asylum seekers using taxis for medical appointments comes into force It comes after a BBC investigation which showed people travelling long distances at high cost.

Yes there may be bigger things going on, but sometimes it's the details that really get under the skin. What a squalid, spiteful, craven little country

Labour’s action over PA should outrage people just as much as Mandelson’s betrayals. It was/is a ridiculous overreach that has seen nearly 3000 people arrested as well as a hunger strike by those accused in the primary case. All this heavy-handed control on people of UK in support a genocide in Gaza

Luigi Mangione surrounded by flames grinning with the text Repent or Perish

Westboro Baptist Church tried to make an Anti-Luigi Mangione poster but it just looks like Luigi is threatening billionaires and goes unironically hard af

I read thousands of pages of Epstein files this weekend trying to understand what he wanted out of his meeting with 4chan's Christopher Poole. Here's everything we know about Epstein's plans to dismantle the internet and, eventually, democracy.

A Day for Gaza Today, The Nation is turning over its website exclusively to stories from Gaza and its people. This is why.

Media coverage of Gaza has plummeted. So today on @thenation.com, we're doing something pretty special: we're only running pieces by people in and from Gaza.

We're calling it "A Day for Gaza." You can find links to all of the incredible pieces here. Please read! www.thenation.com/article/worl...

The probability of encountering a huge bronze sculpture of George Mitchell's head in that On The Square antiques emporium has just risen significantly.

A pile of books by Samuel Delany, at the top there is a copy of Stars In My Pocket Like Grains Of Sand

There is a brand new episode of SFULTRA, the only book podcast that has ever existed. It is about Samuel R. Delany and his book Stars In My Pocket Like Grains Of Sand. It's free to listen to here right now: www.patreon.com/posts/149597... and will appear in the usual podcast places later today.

Still can't believe the latest Epstein Files release just casually confirmed the anti-SJW movement was planned by pedophiles.

"The entire reactionary anti-woke backlash was masterminded by child traffickers" is the kinda shit I'd say as hyperbolic agitprop, but it was true the whole time.

"technologists, reactionaries, and seething upstarts are brought together by decadent parties on a wealthy idiot's pedophile island, laying the groundwork for a digital-first fascism" sounds like a cyberpunk plot but you know it's real life because they did it with the style of people in bumper cars

Damn, Catherine O'Hara.

Eventually people are going to stop caring what the bulletin of atomic scientists do with their little clock. It’s the Ross/rachel problem all over again

A lot of folk still don’t know that Aramark own (super fancy) Avoca, as well as providing food services for Direct Provision Centres. Very easy not to go to Avoca, I reckon. Public opinion got them out of NGI, after all.
