Blocking Nazis, trolls, and fascists doesn’t make it an “echo chamber.” People need to stop gaslighting us into thinking we have to listen to Nazis and debate trolls in order to be informed.

There's no topless bathers only old ladies in plastic macs.

This isn’t some far-off dictatorship on the evening news. This is happening in the suburbs of Chicago. Right here. Right now. In our own home. Don’t look away because if it can happen here, it can happen anywhere.

King Charles expressed his support for Ukraine: "Today, as tyranny once again threatens Europe, we and our allies stand together in support of Ukraine, to deter aggression, and to secure peace," he said. It's such a nice gesture, and Trump does need a reminder.

It should be simple: people who cheer on violence in the UK can't enrich themselves with British taxpayers’ money. That means Elon Musk – no government contracts for you, no energy supply license for you.

A growing number of Labour voices now demanding Keir Starmer start taking on Elon Musk and the far-right. Here Labour MP Noah Law writes for Byline Times on why it's time for the Government to quit Twitter and start treating Musk as the 'foreign extremist' he now is bylinetimes.com/2025/09/15/m...

The light-hearted skimming competition which has put a small Scottish island on the global map has fallen foul of cheating ⬇️

Can anyone explain why the Government is still doing most of its communications through a website whose owner is now openly rallying the far right to trigger a violent insurrection on our streets?

"Keir Starmer needs to be assassinated, someone needs to shoot Keir Starmer." I think this might be incitement to violence rather than Free Speech.

And...

In 1957 my Uncle Tom Little won a Pulitzer for this cartoon “ Wonder why my parents won‘t give me the Salk (Polio) Vaccine” as the young boy crippled from polio sadly watches his friends play. His cartoon helped end Polio and educate parents on vaccines. It is very timely once again #ProudBlue

Trump claims crime is down to "virtually nothing" in DC & adds the crimes that are happening are "much lesser things. Things that take place in the home they call crime. You know, they'll do anything they can to find something. If a man has a little fight w/the wife they say 'this is a crime. See?'"
