Disinformation

It's a exactly THIS point that you should be erecting your flags🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

So just like Gregory and Innocent and Frederick religion has been weaponised for short term political goals in the West. Not the first time the new Holy Roman Emperor has got no clothes.... #MAGA #US #Canada #Australia #NHS #FBPE

‘Blue Labour’ & the Thiel Effect: How MAGA Is Making In-Roads Into British Politics: "Glasman voted & campaigned to leave the EU in 2016, & decries the ‘lanyard class’ of politicos & wonks. Though he believes in the rule of law, he condemns ‘the rule of lawyers’." open.substack.com/pub/bylinesu...

The ironic thing is that corporatism and the free market inevitably leads to globalisation and that insularity is not an option, a point lost on many.. The Free Market IS the cause #JIT #Globalisation #Reform

Absolutely critical that people listen to this...someone is pulling your strings #FBPE #NATO #EU #Reform open.spotify.com/episode/3X54...

Coming soon to the UK #NHS #Reform #StopThink

Two things whites are always provided with in Britain, context and innocence. We as people of colour are never afforded that privilege.

Yes Western Democracy IS under threat from global warming, AI, Oligarchical Authoritarianism and Neo feudalistic attitudes. What is advanced as progress is little more than narcissism, greed, avarice and racism. #USA #EU #NATO #ICE

The Chinese container ship Heng Yang 9 has made several visits to the port of Sevastopol, which has been under Russian control since 2014. According to the Financial Times, this is the first time a large foreign vessel has made a series of visits to the occupied Ukrainian port

There should be a high bar for politicians attacking the media, but maybe Ed Davey has half a point here? For example, the first three paragraphs of this BBC story repeat Reform's £243bn figure without saying that the thinktank behind the estimate now disowns it. (This is mentioned in paragraph 35)

For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR. This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA

From George Orwell's 1984 ... 😡 "A hideous ecstasy of fear and vindictiveness, a desire to kill, to torture, to smash faces in with a sledge-hammer, seemed to flow through the whole group of people like an electric current, turning one even against one's will into a grimacing, screaming lunatic."

When has a British journalist ever confronted Farage over this? God knows how many of his interviews I've seen, because he's never off our screens but I don't recall this happening once. bsky.app/profile/impl...

The attack on Jimmy Kimmel is yet another page in the dictator's playbook. When will my more of my Republicans colleagues recognize that traveling down this road does not end well for any of us? youtu.be/uXeMb2xAsrk?...

This is it, but people are too gullible and mindless to realize it.

Disney has lost nearly $4 Billion in three days from combined stock price collapse and cancelled subscriptions.

SMITE!!!

Giving a bully your lunch money is only a temporary downpayment for future bullying. We ALL need to step up for the first amendment. By-the-way, for the record, this ex-Disney employee finds Jimmy Kimmel very talented and funny. mh

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

The New Disney By Dutch comedian Arjen Lubach, on free speech in the the USA under Trump

Man with orange face and Oompa-Loompa outfit, "There's no racial overtone in saying we want to preserve and protect our borders, our women and children, our history and our heritage" Bonnie Greer, "When did the UK open the doors and let everybody in?" #BBCQT

What's happening with Jimmy Kimmel is about politics and power.

STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.” Nailed it.

Stephen Colbert: “Tonight we’re all Jimmy Kimmel…. With an autocrat, you can’t give an inch. If ABC thinks that this is going to satisfy the regime, they are woefully naive, and clearly they've never read The Children's Book If You Give a Mouse A Kimmel.”

It’s happening. No free speech in the land of the free. tinyurl.com/4rrn2mkx

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

Our democracy is not self-executing. It depends on us all as citizens, regardless of our political affiliations, to stand up and fight for the core values that have made this country the envy of the world.

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

I’m beginning to think they lied about liking free speech…

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Even amazing lawyers can't change the fact that deceased individuals (or their estates) cannot bring defamation lawsuits.

Team Trump continues its effort to erase history. Government information can no longer be trusted. #RFA

Another US publication tells it like it is #Brexit is a fools paradise #FBPE "With its military and economic power waning, Britain is leaning on its monarchy to keep the Trump administration sweet....." www.wsj.com/world/uk/uk-...

Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this. You're welcome

The Mail making it quite clear this week that it hasn't shifted an inch from the days when - alongside many members of the Tory establishment & thousands of 'ordinary people' with 'legitimate concerns' - it came out in full support of Oswald Moseley & his fascist Blackshirts. Owner, editor or both?

British fighter jets to fly air defence missions over Poland after Russia's drone incursion

James O'Brien, "The scenes on Saturday were striking, the numbers very high, but a fraction of the turnout of the please don't leave the EU marches" "No matter that the problems were literally caused by Brexit"

"The right is now louder, noisier and more prolific because it is being backed with billionaire money." Elon Musk has been accused of inciting violence at Tommy Robinson's London protest. Is it time for UK politicians to take action?

Danny Kruger has all the charm of an angry weasel. His natural home is the Reform Party and I'm sure he'll be very unhappy there too.

Nigel Farage: "Children who have two stable parents have a better chance in life... The most stable relationships, the ones that last the longest, tend to be between men & women... There's an awful lot of kids in the country not getting the kind of start... they deserve." Farage has two ex-wives.

UPEND THE ESTABLISHMENT, by voting for a party composed entirely of rejects from the oldest party in the country that was in power for 14 years. 😂 Reform UK increasingly look like the Tories just ran off stage, then ran back on wearing a comedy glasses-nose-moustache disguise.

"If you've had enough of politicians, if you don't trust Westminster, join us." What a revolting, cynical statement for a man who was an MP of the party that ruled for 14 years until five minutes ago - and David Cameron's speech writer before that. What contempt for voters. ~AA

Absolutely horrified and disgusted to see so many people openly attending a fascist rally in our capital. All reported breathlessly on news channels and in some sections of the media. Everyone attending is complicit in this country's rapid decline into extremism.

A 'Taxpayer's' lobby group that turns out to be a front group for right wing and corporate lobbies. Where have we seen this before? www.desmog.com/2025/09/11/e...

Prime example of exceptionalism which is hampering a realistic examination of Brexit. It seems the UK haulage industry has been dependent on illegal working in our jurisdiction to keep going. With EES and Etias, that will end. 🧵 H/t @orynski.eu
