And then there's this video, of officers talking with each other about what they just witnessed. "We didn't have a chance," one officer said. "[Trump] was still giving his speech, and I just had to leave, because he's basically just telling people to come down here and rip this place down."

Dr Russell D. Moore is a theologian, pastor, and the editor in chief of Christianity Today.

I saw this and had to check it wasn't faked or a spoof. Sadly, it is real. Every time I think Trump has reached the nadir of decency and propriety, some hellish trapdoor opens, revealing a hitherto undiscovered sub-basement of obscenity and barbarity. ~AA

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

2016 Daily Mail: We want foreigners out! We don’t care if it makes us poorer. Brexit means Brexit! 2025 Daily Mail: Foreigners are leaving Starmer’s Britain because this country is poor and shit! This country would be so much better off without this hypocritical, incendiary, irresponsible rag.

Can't wait for Robin Ince to get as many column inches in the national press over his actual establishment silencing due to his stance on lgbt+ rights as phobes get over their former friends not wanting to hang out so much any more

In spirit, content and intent, this was really no different to a Klan rally. The exception being the wholesale absence of outrage in mainstream media. This period of history will be an indictment on those standing silent, as much as the monster himself.

This fetid landmark, this historical stain on humanity is primarily due to the stunningly reckless obliteration of America's foreign assistance agency earlier this year. Led by the richest man on earth. In secret, on a weekend. With zero analysis or discussion of its catastrophic impacts.

Everything about this might be the saddest thing I’ve ever seen

Baby Shark has arrived in my life with some force, banger

I shared this photo a week or so ago on Mani’s birthday - It never failed to bring a smile to my face - and that was exactly the same for the man himself. One of the absolute best in every way - such a beautiful friend Love you Mani x x Never to be forgotten

Whole fucking thing makes me sick to my stomach. An abject fucking liar, a man who lies as easily as he fucking breathes, threatening an organisation which strives for truthfulness. And plastic patriots like the Mail and Farage urging him on. Jackels.

Sky News just had Kelvin Mackenzie on, former editor of The Sun, one of the people at the centre of probably the most disgraceful front page in newspaper history, complaining about BBC journalists not being objective and 'fake news'. Astonishing. ~AA

its remarkable to see random suburbanites in their fucking PJs have more courage than the vast majority of america's political, social, and civil elites

RIP Dave Ball, who told stories with synthesizers. When I was a kid I thought this what London at night sounded like: sad, sleazy, wounded, majestic youtu.be/y9KgEs3Zksg?...

A curious approach from people who don't like the concept of immigration

The insane cruelty of this. The same right wingers who wail about #DigitalID on “no ‘show us your papers’” grounds are perfectly happy for permanent state intrusion and fear for people they don’t like. We are in deep trouble.

The fact that this is even seriously discussed, by frontbench politicians and in mainstream publications, shows that something fundamental has broken in UK politics. All those who look at Germany with horrified faces because of the rise of the AfD, kindly take a look in the mirror.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Wow!

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

That’s got to be it for Reuben, what a load of rubbish.

Worst guest ever.

Yeah realpolitik etc, but laying on bells, whistles and pomp for a head of state who says "immigration destroys countries from within" is, by definition, another step into the void

Written by a doctor at St Thomas' Hospital, London after the Tommy Robinson march on 13/9.

Want to be clear that the predictable violence against the police wasn't the only problem with yesterday's march It's that 100,000 angry racists gathered in London for the biggest racist march in 50 years, and anyone not white had to steer clear The govt can't see that because they are inadequate.

Today people went around my neighborhood in north east London spray painting St George’s crosses onto people’s homes. Many of these houses have non British people living in them. This is getting very dark, very quick.

On the same day in the Telegraph:

And fucking arrested.

Timeline cleanse

This is vile. Local guy speaks to Sky News about the impact of asylum seekers protests. Watch what happens and share widely

Are you young, highly educated and driven, and want to contribute to our stagnant economy with its aging population and low productivity? Well out you go

Ta ra Amorim, 11 months of utter rubbish

The ever-eloquent @rafaelbehr.bsky.social pointedly refusing to mince his words on what Farage has done for us. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Just for perspective, a few weeks ago roughly 100,000 turned up for the London Trans+ Pride march. By contrast fewer than 3,000 ACROSS THE WHOLE COUNTRY, have turned up to anti-asylum "protests". Yet we are meant to take the latter as "the voice of the people" and the former as "the minority".

Showing the endangered leader of an invaded country my hats

There's a fairy tale by Terry Jones in which Dr Bonoculus makes a Faustian pact, calculating an eternity spent in the devil's company will at least be stimulating. But when he descends to Hell to pay his part of the bargain it turns out that he's truly damned because the devil is a babbling idiot.

Robert Jenrick, the Tory Shadow Justice Secretary and former Home Office Minister, joining protesters outside an asylum hotel is one of the most disgusting acts by a frontline British politician in living memory.

Hannah Hampton you legend!!

What a finish #lionesses

Walliams Williams Morrissey Lovely stuff, as ever

Exit Planet Dust by the ChemBros is 30! 🎂 This album has been an absolute constant for me. Played it endlessly when it first came out and still listen to it regularly all these years later. Oh, and Three Little Birdies is still one of the biggest ‘bangers’ ever made.

Sending much love and endless good vibes to our author, long-time collaborator and bloody great friend @robinturner.bsky.social. Read and subscribe to his substack - it's beautiful, powerful stuff
