It's hard to fathom but we are now *here* on this path to fascism.

Full fathom five thy father lies; Of his bones are coral made; Those are pearls that were his eyes

"There are a thousand and one legitimate reasons why people are on benefits - and many of those people are already working hard to afford to live, or use food banks because they can't afford to feed and heat themselves. As this post says, 'stop judging'!" via Stevie Burrows

Headlines translated: Britain's far-right media didn't like the budget. In an attempt to please them, the prime minister is going to punish the mentally ill.

Under Mahmood's current proposals, presumably would have been deported to Czechoslovakia in 1945, when it was "safe" again.

The Tory benches actually cheered just now when the Chancellor pointed out that they want cuts to public services & welfare of £47 billion

Keir Starmer's spokesman insisted on Monday that "clearly these changes will not be retrospective" for those already granted asylum, as Reform have been demanding. Now we learn they will be inews.co.uk/news/politic...

Vote Labour

Imagine having a thumping majority in parliament and deciding to use it for something as squalid as this.

Labour policy is being celebrated by Tommy Robinson. That's it. That's all you ever need to say to explain who Labour are.

Afterward I watched House of Dynamite which wasn't as cheerful. Well put together for the most part and tense but maybe i should have tried to remain cheerful.

I watched Fantastic Four First Steps last night and was surprised how much I enjoyed it. And the art direction astonished me. It was beautiful.

Imagine if he had said, "There was an hour long programme criticising Hitler but no similar show taking on Churchill."

Like the Tories, the Labour government is trying to drive down the number of people who qualify for disability benefits by insisting there has been an epidemic of “overdiagnosis”: a favourite theme of the BBC and the junktanks of Tufton Street. Never mind the science: what outcome do we want?

British politics is basically a doom spiral of increasingly unhinged hostile policies. Reform says something unhinged ⬇️ Labour counters with their own unhinged policy ⬇️ Tories shout from back they'll be even more unhinged ⬇️ Reform announces different unhinged proposal in response ⬇️ And repeat...🔁

Labour MPs who voted against welfare cuts this summer have warned that plans to change disability benefit assessments could trigger another mass rebellion Others called for a vote to be delayed until a review into the assessments is complete By me, for Big Issue: www.bigissue.com/news/social-...

I don't know what to say. Except that an extinction event is long overdue.

My current GP booking system is online. They switch it off at the same time as the phones.

These people couldn’t have been more clear that they think not liking them is radicalisation; being angry with them for things they’ve done and said is extremism; asking them unwelcome questions is bullying and harassment, and raising your voice at them is criminal assault.

New! Cassetteboy vs Keir Starmer. This took absolutely ages, so if you'd like to buy us a coffee at ko-fi.com/cassetteboy we'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

That BBC headline is a disgrace. "many experts"? FFS.

I mean sure, but all of this stuff came out in graphic detail five years ago and nobody wanted to talk about it because it showed - at best - that the entire national press had got the most terrifying political scandal of the decade exactly wrong, with truly devastating consequences for the country.

I boom and I strongly take issue with this list.

Wow we should base our entire economy on this technology

As a society, the one thing we were totally unprepared for was annoying leftists being right.

If you are struggling to heat and eat, if your benefits have been cut, if you lost your winter fuel payment This is where some of the money has gone The orange dictator gets the feast and red carpet, the poor and vulnerable get the scraps and no carpet

I know this isn't really adding any helpful solutions to the mess we're in, but I need to vent.

"Light the beacons! Oxford calls for aid!"

Mike the Headless Chicken survived 18 months without his bonce. Can't help but feel he'd have done a better job as PM than Starmer.
