Social Media is part of The Problem The Algorithm & The Oligarchs will never allow Social Media to become part of The Solution So Goodbye Bluesky Goodbye YouTube Returning to Old School Activism, with no Social Media footprint, is a HUGE relief I won’t even be carrying a Mobile Phone with me

The Guardian view on Christianity & the UK far right: Churches must stand up to the False Prophets of division Symbols of Christian Nationalism were prominent at last Saturday’s ‘unite the kingdom’ march. Their deployment had little to do with Religious faith www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It is time for me to refocus my Activism on the U.K. rather than the USA Fascism is on the rise in the U.K. Christian Nationalism is on the Rise in the U.K. Poverty is on the rise in the U.K. It is clear to me now that there will be War in Europe against Russia & their Allies God Help Us All!

I have been a Journalist for 40 years. The forces ranged against my profession have never been so powerful Once, I believed that Humanity’s problem was an Information Deficit. Now, I know you can’t speak Truth to Power if Power controls your Words George Monbiot www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Lib Dem Tim Farron MP: "I'm a proud patriot, but I am no nationalist...You can tell the difference. "Patriots love their country. Nationalists hate their neighbours. I am a patriot." He says he's ashamed racists have tried to steal the flag. Farron hits out at the "poison of nationalism".

“Eye-watering waste [ie Tories siphoning off £bns of pubic money to their mates] running into £bns resulted from huge Covid contracts for mountains of PPE & tests” NB £1m spent at £1 a second would be gone in 11.5 days. £1bn billion would take more than 31 years. www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/d...

"It’s not too late to puncture the Reform leader’s populist myth. His ‘make Britain great again’ act is out of step with the British people" 🎯 https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/sep/19/donald-trump-us-abyss-nigel-farage-britain

On X I used data to show London does not have the highest crime rate in the world. 10 mins later a right winger linked to my book. 10 mins after that I got 40 1-star reviews from unverified accounts (previously 4.9 star avg). Fair play to Amazon - they removed them all. But that's how it works.

I’ve just realised that I haven’t listened to BBC radio 4 routinely now for years. I stopped the news programmes including the today programme over a year ago when they became unashamed mouthpieces for Farage. I was a lifelong radio 4 listener. I wonder how many others there are.

Czech President Petr Pavel warned Russia that repeated violations of NATO airspace could lead to Russian planes being shot down. He said NATO must respond firmly, even militarily, if Russia crosses the line.

I do calligraphy to keep me calm in 2025

George Monbiot, "By inviting President Trump for a state visit, Labour dishonour us and they dishonour themselves. They are rolling out the red carpet for Farage"

This guy is such a scumbag. Do not buy Dyson products.

The Government is planning to roll out mandatory digital ID. It’s invasive and could mean millions of people unable to go about their daily lives. Right now it's just an idea - we need to stop it becoming a reality. Join me and sign the petition now! you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/re...

Very odd watching BBC News talking about the Lib Dem conference and mentioning how the party has struggled to break through in the media like it's nothing to do with them.

Sir James Dyson says Brexit was worth it, even if it's made people poorer. Well, as the fourth richest man in the country, he won't be affected. He's typical of the rich bastards who back Brexit. They're alright, so they couldn't care less about the harm inflicted on ordinary people

This is the other big story people aren't paying attention to but you really need to widen your lens. The broligarchy is coming for all of our milkshakes. fair.org/home/as-elli...

We have the power

Russia has yet again incurred into EU/NATO airspace, flying MiG-35 fighter jets capable of carrying hypersonic missiles over Estonia yesterday. Italian jets were scrambled to intercept them. 🇪🇪 has triggered NATO Article 4, as Poland did last week.

When Tr*mp mistreats a journalist at a press conference, all the other journalists should just get up and leave. And they should not need to be told this.

Andor would want you to cancel your Disney+ subscription. It's the least you can do for the Rebellion.

Stephen Yaxley-Lennon being deported twice in 24 hours - first from Colombia, then from Panama - because he’s deemed a national security threat, just a week after he led a march calling for migrants to be deported, is the kind of schadenfreude we can all savour.

Maria Ressa, "By design, social media platforms spread lies six times faster. If laced with fear, anger, hate, it goes viral. They change the way we vote" This is how they got Brexit over the line in 2016

THE HYPOCRISY IS THE POINT!!

George Monbiot endorses alternatives such as Zack Polanski, "As long as they give us hope that our country gets better for the people who live here"

When Fox can't ignore it, you know it's bad.

Fascism is more easily defeated at the beginning...before it cements. We're in the beginning. Becoming numb to it is a form of capitulation. Resist.

When authoritarianism is on the rise, you can count on the richest, least vulnerable men on the planet to be the biggest cowards.

It is BEAUTIFUL how so many people outside the USA are also cancelling their Disney Plus Subscriptions in Solidarity I would do the same but I deleted it already Boycotts do work

Keep cancelling! creators.yahoo.com/lifestyle/st...

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

As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."

Estonia has requested article 4 consultations with other NATO members after Russian fighter jets violated its airspace. It’s the second time in a month article 4 has been called.

After drones in Polish skies and Migs over Estonia, today came a new attack: a cyber strike that paralysed Heathrow, Brussels and Berlin airports. These are not isolated accidents – they are deliberate provocations from Putin, testing our unity and resilience.

Who else thinks that this is the handiwork of The Russians?

They want to leave the ECHR because it will allow them to abolish the State Pension, the Minimum Wage, paid holiday and sick leave. It would make them tens of billions a year. But of course they say immigration, because they can't tell you the real reason.

I intend to disappear this weekend Into Terry Pratchett’s Disc World Universe I do think it is important to escape from Reality for a bit every day For Self Care Reality is so bleak Reading has always been my greatest solace after Music Starting with Book 1: The Colour of Magic (1983) Cheerio

Trump said that he likes Keir Starmer, the U.K. Prime Minister What Trump really meant was that he really enjoyed seeing the Fear in Keir Starmer’s eyes We all saw it One day soon we in the U.K. will suffer the consequences of Starmer’s Fear Appeasement never works It just strengthens the Bully

“Freedom is never voluntarily given by the Oppressor; it must be demanded by the Oppressed.” Dr Rev Martin Luther King Jr.

Trump’s allies now control X, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, & TikTok. They own Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ & NY Post. They own Sinclair Broadcasting which has 200 tv stations and local news in 100 markets. “Freedom of speech” is now what Trump and his billionaire pals say it is.

This is one of the most important posts of the day.

This is a great cover.

Trump’s plan to re-occupy Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan - announced in London - is going to require a mini-invasion, Reuters reports - 10,000 military personnel and significant air defences. This from the man who negotiated a US withdrawal from Afghanistan in his first term. Complete shambles.

Farage dodges tax on GB news Nick Candy, Treasurer, boasts about tax dodging. Farage still has unanswered questions on stamp duty on Clacton House Tice and Farage both previously caught using offshore tax havens Reforms income from dubious and questionable sources (where are the checks?!)
