Being on the right side of history always aggrevates the right wing troll farms, ideological drones, & sock accounts. Imagined hate from imagined people.

No one is allowed to be popular AND left leaning in Britain. Perhaps they never were. Parties indistinguishable from the National Front or BNP are fine with the media, yet even vaguely left wing parties & their leaders must be ruthlessly traduced. Still it's preferable to being shot I suppose...

When we get a far right ReformUK government - or more likely a Reform Tory coalition - in 2029, it will all be down to the Right Wing media - aided & abetted by the troll farms, ideological drones, & sock accounts of social media - which have dripped poison Iago-like into the ears of the masses.

A Tory ReformUK coalition has long been my top bet for the next election. Only tactical voting can prevent it. Given how many Tory failures have already decamped to Reform, its inevitable. Farage as PM & Badenoch as deputy: terrifying, & incompetent. Only tactical voting can prevent it.

All parties are at least two parties. Labour are socialists & centrists who despise socialism. The Torys are one nation conservatives & bastards. ReformUK are former Tory racists & quite different former Tory racists.

In the sense of being paid to be patriots, not that putting flags on lamp posts is any sense an example of patriotism. Probably satirical. Real patriots are NOT bigots or racists or homophobes or transphobes but work selflessly to improve their countries. ReformUK are NOT patriots.

Anything other than tactical voting will see a ReformUK Tory coalition in power after the next election.

Monarchists often say that the Royal Family is the last bulwark against an extremist government in the UK, be that fascist or communist. Well their chance to prove that is coming very soon...

Whatever you think about Kier Starmer, had Boris Johnson done the things Starmer has or may have done the papers would be absolutely full of supportive articles praising him & arguing it was all for the best.

The concept of a "Silent Majority" is a fundamental tenet of the Right Wing mindset. Implicit in it is the idea that almost everyone agrees with your greed & pernicious bigotry but are prevented from saying so by a handful of progressive voices who unaccountably dominate public discourse.

The BBC's days seem to be numbered Critiqued by the left for being too right wing & hated by the right for not being nearly right wing enough It should be calling out fascism not giving it a platform I hope everyone will be happy to pay 5x as much & yet have to watch more adverts than programming

This is Achrioptera manga, a giant phasmid or stick insect native to Madagascar. The specific epithet, "manga" means blue in Malagasy & it's not hard to see why. Only males are blue. The tiny back wings ("alae") are an example of brachyptery: they're useless for flight, but have other functions.

ReformUK Voters: would certainly have voted for Hitler or Mussolini if only Hitler or Mussolini had been rich & American rather than being dirty foreigners; still at least they weren't French.

The Overton window hasn't simply been moved, it has been removed altogether & the space it occupied forcibly bricked up.

Donald J Trump is clearly the most successful, the most popular President in history & probably the most popular person since humans began, but for some reason so many of us are yet to realize it.

I suppose that Jesus might possibly have been an 80 year old man of mixed German & Scottish descent with dyed hair who wears make up, in which case this post would not be particularly sacrilegious, but what we think we know about history would suggest otherwise.

To use Festival of Britain terminology, the world is divided between "Herbivores" who want the best for everyone & "Carnivores" who wish exploit others for their own benefit.

To be blunt, Victor Orban seemed evil. It is probably better for everyone he was not reelected. Hopefully, better times for abused minorities. The world needs to ensure tyranny does not return. The UK needs to move back towards European democracy & away from the Far Right.

With JD Vance's track record in not getting despots elected, it is absolutely vital that he starts vigorously supporting Nigel Farage as soon as possible.
