What do you say to this @robinince.bsky.social?

Chart crimes, everywhere, all around us

🧵 In the Gorton & Denton by-election all three parties in line for the seat are now alleged to have used false quotes & sources on election leaflets. (Details below) This has led to investigations & public mudslinging on social media & in open letters. And there's been another worrying aspect:

oops. White nationalism is a helluva drug.

How does he sleep at night?

‘The Epstein Class’ isn’t just a kind of online thing. There is a very deep-seated attitude within elite circles that rules - or at least THOSE rules - are for other people. Some of them think all that’s a bit classless and embarrassing, but some of them are drawn to it like moths to the flame.

Looks like Monday night in Charing Cross was mad

One of the first priorities of this Labour government was to make people safer and more secure at work. Today Reform are revealing their true colours, they'll roll back our rights, reinstate fire and rehire and give bad bosses the freedom to behave as they want.

BREAKING: Richard Tice is to announce Reform UK's plans to introduce a "Great Repeal Bill" that will scrap Labour's Employment Rights' Act and rent reforms JUST DON’T VOTE REFORM

This is the single best piece of news Keir Starmer has had since July 2024.

I really appreciate this TikToker with Tourette syndrome, Shay, for taking the time to educate so many of us (including me) about her disability and coprolalia in light of what happened at the BAFTAs with John Davidson when Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage. I learned a lot.

Barry Cotter’s gone to Derry City. One that didn’t work out. He looked pretty decent in his first 45 minutes in a Notts shirt.

I get tired of saying this, but it won't work. VPNs with no business presence in the UK can ignore this law, just like 4Chan currently is. And then there are Tor, proxies, SSH tunnelling, umpteen remote desktop protocols that can deliver the same result in practice.

As the public inquiry hearings begin today, my thoughts are with the bereaved families and survivors of the Nottingham attacks. I’m thinking of them all at what will be an incredibly difficult time. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

These people are poison. They will unleash racist thugs on the streets of this country and call it security. They will subjugate us to the US and call it patriotism. They must be stopped. There is no more important task in politics.

If Starmer 2.0 means nothing else, perhaps it can mean this…

Your weekend reminder that, in 2022, the current and former monarchs of the UK gave millions of pounds to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to help him settle a civil case brought by one of his victims, a woman so traumatised by her ordeal that she later took her own life. The entire monarchy is rotten.

Reform UK have announced plans to repeal the Equality Act 2010 if they win the next election. SHARE THIS POST IF YOU DISAGREE WITH NIGEL

The Dark Prince.

She never lived to see this moment, but it’s worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre. She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrew’s. Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.

I'd forgotten how vociferous Boris Johnson was in defence of Prince Andrew as the Epstein scandal started to rattle the iron railings of Buckingham Palace. Here he is in 2015 1/2 youtu.be/q8sclKL37JU?...

“As part of the investigation, we have today (19/2) arrested a man in his sixties from Norfolk”

“You’re nicked, sunshine”

Three yellow cards after the penalty appeal… Including Jodi Jones, who had been subbed 35 minutes earlier. Far from the first stupid cards Notts have been given this season. Keep your heads on lads.

Am I right to be a little concerned that Notts might get a reputation for being a team that goes looking for penalties, and that word will get around referees?

Reform: an undeniably racist, misogynistic, transphobic, disability-sceptic party with disturbing links to christofascist MAGA… wants to leave the ECHR and scrap the Equality Act, removing our rights and protections. As red flags go, this is the reddest it gets www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Wasn’t close to being a penalty. We didn’t deserve any more than we got from that. Big performance needed on Saturday.

Shrews are a very basic team. Failure to break them down is worrying.

Unbeaten run fizzling out. Nothing positive about this game.

Jodi’s not been in it, but a bit surprised at Nick going off

That goal’s been coming. We’ve just not shown up in the second half.

Missed Jatta in the first half. Dennis is not a lone striker

Coming to the UK if we elect Reform. www.sunjournal.com/2026/02/07/i...

I honestly thought we were too sensible as a nation to fall for this racist Christian nationalism bollocks.

Work trip to India in a couple of weeks… trying to work out a flight to get me into Birmingham on Saturday so I can do Walsall away on the way home.

Keir Starmer has called for "deeper links" with the EU in his speech at the Munich Security Conference. Latest YouGov data shows 62% of Britons want a closer relationship with the EU; 54% want to rejoin ygo-assets-websites-editorial-emea.yougov.net/documents/Co...

How bad a shit show is Forest?

Absolute Beginners is a magnificent book. Alexander Baron’s The Lowlife is another fine entry in the list of bleak postwar London books. From a slightly earlier period, I’d also recommend Patrick Hamilton’s Hangover Square.

I can very much connect with someone who doesn’t get John Lennon…

This is all due to the incredible resistance of the people of Minnesota. Their resilience - and their determination - helped enforce the Constitution in a way that political elites in Congress and the courts did not or could not. I have never been prouder to be a Minnesotan.

And if anyone can’t see that this is what Farage, Tice, Jenrick and Badenoch aspire to… Well don’t pretend that you weren’t warned.

I've never known anyone who was obsessed with immigration who wasn't an out and out loser and an absolute racist bigot. I'm saying it because it's simply not said enough.

Trying to balance the schadenfreude at the shit show over the Trent against the fact that Forest in the EPL has been beneficial to Notts.

Must be a different Nigel Farage who someone recently tricked into videoing a glowing tribute for dead paedophile Iain Watkins - precisely because he *can* be bought for £98 on Cameo.

It's now patently obvious that "simply not liking seeing non-white faces", and scapegoating then for all society's problems is (together with a dash of rampant transphobia) now the overriding motivation for a terrifyingly large section of the population.

Ratcliffe is, quite obviously, factually, morally & intellectually wrong about immigration. But his racist comments will be 'both-sided' everywhere because people who simply don't like seeing non-white faces aren't ashamed to say so anymore.

Very sad to hear of the loss of a mentor, inspiration and friend. I learned a lot through playing with Andrew. I’ve also never encountered anyone who plays quite like he did, in all my years of playing with different drummers. www.hotpress.com/music/tribut...
