Don't sleepwalk into this.

Happy to oblige

Well #Butterflies on this day in the UK & across Europe & the World there are politicians stating we must remove the International Rights & Protections this Country helped to define after WW2 to ensure such hatred & mass murder could never arise again. Defend them or lose them! #ECHR Foil #Farage

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

There’s always a post. Ouch!

Like Trump, Farage opens his mouth and the lies fall out. Pull him up on those lies and he uses the same old playbook - attack and deny

The ICE murders in Minneapolis are a “glimpse of what happens when fear and loathing of migrants curdles into toxic tribalism, another grim warning for all those European voters flirting with the far-right and dark forces of nationalism.” That’s Reform in the UK. liveapp.inews.co.uk/category/418...

I am heartbrocken to say this, but as a Scotland fan of 50+ years and wishing to be at every world cup since 98, we seriously need to consider boycotting the USA this year. Some things transcend sport. 😥

My first question upon waking, a few minutes ago. 'How many more people have the Tramp brown shirts executed, whilst I've been asleep?' Im sure Im not alone in this thought. It's 2026, ffs. We shouldn't be waking to these thoughts, in civilised societies.

Zelenskyy to Europe: "(Russian) army will number 2.5-3 million. They want to reach all of this by 2030, and, based on their speed, we see that this is possible. (..) Without a million Ukrainians, you won't manage.”

Statement from President Obama and Mrs Obama

Burns night is fabulous isn't it. I mean a properly enjoyable celebration of a country's identity and culture and done with so much love - so different to the empty nationalism of the 'raise the colours mob'. And no it's not just last night's whisky talking.... (we celebrated early)

Epstein Files

*Breaking* Frozen water to be rebranded as "Frozen water" following the fatal shootings of innocent civilians by fascist brownshirts.

Alex Pretti was a nurse in Minneapolis, like I was in 2020. He worked at the VA as a federal employee, like I did in 2020. He was doing today what all of us who were able did in 2020 - helping neighbors in a terrifying but important time in history while the world was watching. (1/?)

Don't know who wrote this, but it is genius...

This is the sort of thing we’ll see in our towns and cities if the FagAsh Fuhrer and his Reform goons get anywhere near power. This is what their ‘mass deportations’ means. This is what we’re sleepwalking into.

DHS Shooting Victim in Minneapolis Was a ‘Sweet’ and ‘Principled Person’ Zeteo spoke with two doctors who worked with Alex Pretti, a nurse who is the latest victim of Trump’s violent invasion of Minnesota. Read now: zeteo.com/p/dhs-shooti...

All this shit that Tramp is projecting westward, he must be doing it north, south and east. Does he ever sleep, or does he have help from foreign ( Russian) bot farms?

President Trump says Denmark should show more gratitude to America for liberation from the Nazis. It wasn’t the Americans who liberated Denmark. It was the British Second Army. The British liberated northern France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Denmark and invaded northern Germany.

I think I may have cracked it. Trump Derangement syndrome. Trump relentlessly attacks the democratically eleced leaders of European countries. Democratic= Democrat. Hes a Republican. Attack the Democrats. Relentlessly. Could it really be that simple?

In case you missed it: My suggestion that Farage was whispering to Trump behind the scenes while Trump was going after Greenland has been essentially confirmed. As @jamesdaustin.bsky.social notes: Working against your country's interest with a semi-hostile state - there's a word for that.

Board of Peace - Season 1

Whether you're interested in the Green party or not, this short message is worth watching and listening to. It crosses all political colours.

REFORM voters turn up. They vote for authoritarianism. They vote for fascism. And they win — because you stayed home. Farage doesn’t rise on popularity. He rises on apathy. If fascists take power, don’t ask “how did this happen?” Ask who didn’t bother to vote. Vote. Or let them rule you.

Where's the outrage we saw when Angela Rayner, who paid the wrong amount of tax on a property for her disabled son, & followed poor advice? She had a single breach of code for an amount ~10% of what Farage has tried to tax dodge. When is he going to be made to resign due to media pressure?

Excellent as always @coldwarsteve.bsky.social

@tomswarbrick.bsky.social Get her off.

Ossoff: "POTUS called for this man [Mark Kelly] to be hanged. A combat veteran, naval aviator, astronaut, senator. He demanded his execution bc he stated a principle enshrined in uniform code of military justice. If we become numb to that we lose sight of how extraordinary our obligations are."

#Epstein #EpsteinFiles

Elon Musk is a white supremacist. Case closed.

Woah! Jack Smith just said that Trump intimidated witnesses via death threats!

Keep coming back to this time and again, imo it’s something we should all watch on a regular basis.

A couple we know drove us to a restaurant in a local village, for lunch. They have a car with start/stop technology and other energy saving things. The problem was that he drove most of the way there, and all of the way back at 60kph in 2nd gear 😬. Lunch was lovely though.

Nice of the BBC to mention this in the Business section of their website. But I can't help thinking if it had been a significant increase on borrowing it would have led the News page with big black doomy headlines ... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

After Bad Enoch's performance at PMQs, if I were a member of the 1922 committee I think I'd be clearing my diary.

See, now, I asked Mikey and he has the same opinion. If either of us are walking down the street and someone shouts "peadofile protector," we'd both be wondering what nonce they were shouting at. Neither of us would have thought they were shouting at us, can you guess why?

A real shame if this photo went viral again today.

And while we’re recommending YouTube films, here’s the inimitable @petergeoghegan.bsky.social doing the Lord’s work. Because nothing says ‘free speech champions’ like, erm, going to Court to keep who funds your payroll secret. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oP0O...

Just heard on the wireless that kid in Australia was attacked by a shark whilst swimming in 'shark bay'. Part of me is saying WTF? And the other part of me is saying WTAF?

Good morning. We have choices. Fried, scrambled, boiled or poached. I haven't decided just yet. It will be one of the above. Probably not boiled.
