Aw naw...

Those that defend or justify the Orange Nonce’s disgusting, vile comments. May as well be making the comments themselves. How anyone can enable a low life piece of festering garbage like that, I’ll never know

Devoid of class. As always. How far America has fallen. I’m not sure it will ever regain the position it once held in the world, as it will take a generation or more to undo this fat clown’s fascist agenda. Such a shame.

In the week where Keir Starmer launched a scathing attack on the Green Party, the latest polling from Opinium shows the Greens outperforming both Labour and the Conservatives across most leadership and values metrics. londonlovesbusiness.com/zack-polansk...

Make Racism Indefensible Again

one of the most unpleasant people in human history

The poorest 20% Britons pay higher proportion of income in taxes than the richest 20%. The bottom 50% of the population owns less than 5% of wealth, bottom 20% has 0.5%. Can't reduce child/household poverty and relieve suffering without equitable distribution of income/wealth.

"The fact I have had nothing back from neither of them is nothing short of disgraceful. What are we paying these people for?" "They don't seem to want to do anything, they're not here tonight - why are they not here tonight? It's part of their obligation to keep communication with us."

Farage “draws his power not from the sheer force of his arguments and personality, but increasingly just how recklessly the immigration issue has been handled by the political establishment… there is now a little bit of his poison everywhere” How a country fails. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Meanwhile, many towns including mine, are rising to the occasion to challenge this racism/fascism. In my town there was an anti racism event at the weekend, in Chelmsford there’s this on Thursday 👇 (What other counter racist/fascist events are happening? Is there anything in yr area?)

Sadiq Khan, London Mayor ‘I'm slightly curious & concerned why the leader of the free world who's got so many challenges in the Middle East, in Ukraine, issues around the climate, trade, is spending time talking about me, & giving the impression he's obsessed with me & for him, it’s to explain why"

This whole situation is so frightening. That this is the Labour Party proscribing this makes it even more terrifying. And then, there’s what’s happening to those who’ve been arrested/imprisoned …

An accident led me to spend about 10 hours in hospital yesterday. All the staff were excellent. they were cheerful, and couldn't do enough for patients, despite being under intense pressure. Don't let people talk down our #NHS hospitals.

60,000 people – 0.001% of the world’s population – control three times as much wealth as the entire bottom half of humanity. Top 10% earn more than the other 90%. They control govts, means of production; inflict civil strife, deaths; thwart possibilities of democracy. Tax the rich.

"Today, the national conversation about immigration has grown alarmingly cruel. It seems more about punishment than efficiency, or even what is most beneficial to the country. Many of us are asking: isn’t there a better, more humane way?"

Domestic terrorism

Well quite the sunrise here on the Costa Erewash. Red sky in the morning…

Morning all. Well that was a good Saturday. Three points, several pints and even the trains worked! Ever so slightly fragile but worth the paracetamol.

Labour relied on everyone to unite behind them to beat the Tories, & we did. And what have they done? Crickets. Now they want us to do the same thing again against Reform? I propose Labour confidently stand up for their own policies rather than appease the far-right & defend progressive politics.

Correction: There were in fact nearly 1000 devout, pious life-long followers of Our Lord who made this pilgrimmage to Whitehall. Unconfirmed reports of miracles including one in a London Wetherspoons where an 18 stone crusader turned 9 pints into urine

Matchday. Waiting for a mate.

The Seven Social Sins are: Wealth without work. Pleasure without conscience. Knowledge without character. Commerce without morality. Science without humanity. Worship without sacrifice. Politics without principle. From a sermon by Frederick Lewis Donaldson, Westminster Abbey, London, 20 March 1925

Interesting isn't it that if you interfere enough they stop mentioning it, or even call you 'ally'.

No, of course he didn't 'deserve this'. He deserved politicians & media that provide fact-based information instead of fuelling his emotions for their own advantage. He deserved education that teaches critical thinking & an economy that pays living wages. He deserved solutions instead of scapegoats.

Farage, Badenoch, and unfortunately a.significant proportion of the British public creaming their pants at the prospect of the UK doing the same soon.

Losers Gullis and Ben Bradley, now possibly disgraced Scott Benton will join Reform. Farage admits his party lacks experience. But recruits the morons and the pisstakers to make up for that. Reform: Loitering around the Tory bins seeing what bits of their stinking rubbish they can recycle.

I’m minded to agree. Which is why I joined the Greens after observing Zak Polanski at work. At mid-40’s I have to say the only decent time of my life was under Blair and that’s likely because I was young and less engaged. There was hope. There was a zest about Britain. There were also problems.

And I’ll tell you another thing about FIFA….robbing fucking cunts!

“900 peers there on Over Sized Records….next up from the Orb a Pointless 2nd Chamber that rules from the centre of a Gin Barrel…”

Whenever Farage talks about the NHS, he always suggests it needs replacing with an American system, never a European one. That's because he wants to earn money for himself out of our misfortune. #FarageOut

Farage is a conman Starmer is a robot Badenoch is a moron

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... We need a coalition/working pact between the Lib Dem’s and the Greens in England.

The European Investment Bank (EIB) doesn't just offer help for big projects. British farmers could get this kind of help, too, if we were back in the EU. #RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺

Europe. Don’t be fooled by Starmer. Human Right are unalienable Rights. Save Our Human Rights have been good for 75 years
