weird. @barneyronay.bsky.social links all of his articles on here but he hasn't done it with his latest, a craven defence of some of europe's worst football hooligans, peppered with dozens of digs at Zack Polanski for some reason

How has the government got itself into the position of standing up for Israeli football hooligans, while criminalising peaceful supporters of Palestine Action?

The hunt for the missing 11 O'Clock Shows is on! there are a fair few on YouTube. they were all the ones taped by my mum! But there are dozens missing! can you help? do you have any stored away on VHs or beta? if you can help me please email [email protected]

👏 "We've lived here all our lives. And I have never felt so unwelcome in my own hometown as I do since your party came into Caerphilly." "With all the rhetoric that you bring in, I have to say to my sons, please don't go there. Please don't do this." "I blame you for that."

Great source of tax revenue, would break link between drugs and crime, would improve public safety. Drugs should be treated like alcohol and smoking. The “war” on drugs has been lost. Time for some common sense.

That the labour party see anything Zach Polanski is doing as a "threat" rather than the ideal ally in a desperately difficult time for the UK is pretty much everything wrong with them. Labour dropped* the torch of representing the people, Greens picked it up. *threw away/sold/etc

The global network of the radical right is a threat to our democracy. 🚨 @libdemdaisy.bsky.social on Musk and Tommy Robinson: "It is outrageous that a man who has so much control over what people read online could be funding someone who stokes far right extremism on our streets."

We need to continue to call out racism and those who seek to stoke division. @kirithentwistle.bsky.social: "No one should face hatred because of the colour of their skin."

I realised I've been going to Greggs too regularly when I got invited to the leaving do for one of the workers.

Nathan Gill will be sentenced on 21st November for 8 charges of taking Russian Bribes. It’s essential that the European Parliament carries out an investigation in to UKIP, Brexit Party and Reform UK and their connection to Russia. Investigation now! #InvestigateReformUK #ReformRussianBribes

Nigel Farage could never be trusted to run Britain after getting Brexit so wrong'

Zack Polanski genuinely gives me hope that we can have a different kind of politics, different kind of government as opposed to the 49 years of shite I’ve lived under.

“Compared with the kids who run foreign policy in this country, I've more respect for Putin than our lot.”

Yeah, yeah. I know. America is important. But I'm so fucking sick of it absolutely dominating the UK news cycle. I get it. You voted in a turd and now you're swimming in fascist shit. But we have our own rightwing wanklord problems that need more national coverage.

Netanyahu must be presented at The Hague and given the maximum sentence of life imprisonment; along with being forced to pay reparations to all victims in Israel and Gaza alike.

This is a lie. There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years. But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

Gary Neville is right that Britain once took pride in its mix of people, united by purpose not hate, but Brexit and those who profit from division have broken that spirit, and rebuilding it must begin with decency, solidarity and the will to stand together again.

I think this might be the first time in my 57 years on planet earth that I’m looking forward to a party political broadcast. This is going to be interesting.

This. Is. Brilliant.

Zack Polanski has done the impossible… Made me feel hope in politics again. @zackpolanski.bsky.social

Johnson’s cull of MPs prepared to tell the truth about Brexit consigned the Tories to the absurdity & irrelevance they currently enjoy. The media’s pitiful complicity in & failure to explain this lets Farage move in to the vacated space despite embodying the stupidity & bigotry that did for them.

Macron remarks are notable- some quotes: "We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies."

Had the government said "as a mark of respect, we'd like you to cancel football matches, concerts etc AND protests today", then fair enough. But to single out the protest they've long wanted to stop anyway as the one thing we should not do looks like disgraceful exploitation of a horrific attack.

Reform UK’s Nigel Farage with the Russian Ambassador (that he denied meeting), and with Oleg Voloshyn's wife Nadia Borodi, Voloshyn bribed Nathan Gill. Farage is still silent. It’s deafening. #ReformRussianBribes

Absolutely correct to do so. Very exciting that @zackpolanski.bsky.social appears to be saying all the right things rather than all the popular things right from day one. This is how to rebuild trust in politics. Trust in your political ability to get people on side with good arguments. Let's go!

Amazon have removed the guns from their Bond posters, giving the tantalising impression that Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan think you’re a wanker.

People who defend or attempt to justify Israel’s or Russia’s ongoing assaults on civilians, along with their piracy, organized crime, land theft, and mass murder, are cut from the same cloth: evil, malicious, and willfully ignorant.

The same people who lied about Brexit now want us to leave the ECHR. "Leaving the ECHR could mean higher food prices and an even bigger blow to trade. The Tories’ new proposals will end the party for good." https://bit.ly/4mQdtYt

We haven’t forgotten your silence on your Welsh Leader Nathan Gill admitting 8 bribery charges. We haven’t forgotten the racist and inept councillors you’ve lost. We haven’t forgotten your Britannia Card to help the rich. We haven’t forgotten DOGE being a con.

We haven’t forgotten all the Tory defectors. We haven’t forgotten Nigel Farage lying about having a Clacton house. We haven’t forgotten your Taliban deal. We haven’t forgotten your ILR policy.

“Our women, our daughters are scared to walk the streets,” claimed Tommy Robinson at the 'Unite the Kingdom' rally. Suddenly, the radical right seems concerned about women’s safety - but this isn’t genuine care. They’re recycling an old, racist trope. Watch and share.

This part of Starmer's speech sounded very familiar...

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!

Happy National Coffee Day. A morning without coffee is like a striking analogy I’ll probably come up with after I’ve had more coffee.

Uh-oh Mike.
