This is exactly the kind of hate / toxicity that's discussed in the post.

Thanks for bringing up the live example to the thread.

I like Zoe myself and used to read her often (up until The Guardian locked up the app even for the donors), but that's well deserved.

Maybe that's true in the US considering road safety, training and attitudes towards the protective gear (up to helmet being optional at places (!!!)), but definitely false in the UK:
2024 stats:
- 340 fatalities (42% down from 2023)
- 26156 serious injuries
- 51567 slight injuries

She will still have a big black mark for being arrested for supporting a proscibed/terrorist group.

Seriously, once the current variety of the rightwing authoritarian dicktators lose by the landslide in th next GE, I dream of seeing this scandal dissected in public and all these arrests ezpilunged.

He'll say something like "see what the violent left does? They can't even stand the liberal judges violating the law! The judge had it coming" or something similarly unhinged.

Judge 'deeply troubled' by PMQs exchange on Gazans settling in UK Lady Chief Justice Baroness Sue Carr says a question asked by Kemi Badenoch and the answer given by Sir Keir Starmer were both "unacceptable".

This is the old front page, yes, but it's nothing better.

Even the former barrister - the PM himself - is suggesting, to the glee of the racists, that judges somehow act inappropriately: www.bbc.com/news/article...

Vast majority of Americans (across the board, regardless of the party affiliation) also want the Epstein files to be released.

Oh, nonononono.

First: they'll be ripped out immediately.

Second: they will be abused and distorted at the first opportunity: case in point: the law used to proscribe Palestine Action was not intended to be used to it:

Resist and refuse, or they'll chip away everything left we have.

Of course it's an assault. Domestic abuser abusing his power against a nonviolent, protestor who wasn't endangering anyone, and expressing her discontent.

Blatant assault.

We're only having the issue with mass media reporting.

It's pretty safe to assume it's about the foreign-born workers, both on visa/ILR and naturalised.

Imagine working your ass off for the country, only to hear this and know your own employer pretty much shares the sentiment.

Revolting.

If you drive a 2025/2026 Tesla or still use X, there really isn't an excuse. You really are just an asshole that looks the other way.

Look at this one from CNN: a politician suddenly happens to be airborne in proximity of ICE: bsky.app/profile/katm...

I think they spelled "nationalist renewal" wrong.

When we complain, we get middle finger, but then the successful politician shows a way out of the despair and toxicity, he's a problem.

Blue Labour is getting a very deserved result in GE. Entirely their own fault.

Oh, "*grievance*", but when the Labour votes are raising the issues with broken promises and perceived unhinged policy and are ignored -- that is okay?

So raising the concerns as a voter ends up with getting the middle finger but raising the concerns as a non-rightwing politician is a *problem*?

What’s just insane is the fact they think β€œstop protesting us being complicit in genocide because a single person was murdered” was going to go down well. The British government has hundreds of thousands of Palestinians blood on their hands.
