Did anybody consider not endlessly platforming fascism until it became normalised? Just fucking wondering.

I mean it, Scotland. We’ve got to ditch England and save ourselves. The union is done. England is done. Scotland can still be saved if we go it alone, but we’ve gotta go fast and go soon. We’re in a burning building. Only a fool stays to die.

The truth: we need migration. The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it. Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality. Reject it. Draw the line.

No immigrant has ever sacked me, or cut my wages, or offshored my job, or closed my hospital, or stopped my mum's disability benefits, or crashed the economy. Those things were all done by white English men who went to Oxford and wore a nice suit.

It’s inevitable that Reform will eventually come for naturalised citizens soon. They’re in full brutality mode now, fed and watered by Starmer’s govt & the BBC, Sky and the London press Scotland: we need to vote our way out of this rotten Union before the next UK election or we’ll live to regret it

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

I can’t believe we’re at the ‘paracetamol causes autism’ stage of the Idiocracy already When will we get to back to making sacrifices to the Sky Father, that’s what I want to know. By Christmas?

The time has come to simply take back what has been stolen

‘It’s a slow-motion apocalypse’: over 1000 lifeline charities now closing in Scotland each year Charities step in to do the work govt can’t or won’t do. Without them society falls apart. They’re now calling on the govt to help In @heraldscotland.bsky.social www.heraldscotland.com/news/2548276...

Charities warned about the shocking impact of the increase in employers national insurance. This article provides the figures for the sector, £78 million. So charities close down, others make staff redundant while others freeze recruitment. The damage caused continues as the increase is permanent.

Truly astonishing that the policies advocated here are defined as ‘hard left’. It’s basic social democracy. The right has become so extreme it now sees common sense policies as ‘hard left’. This explains the destruction of British society

Loving this. Unite the left, Zack

Who would have thought that running around like Leatherface with a chainsaw might not be a great economic policy…

This is appalling. ICE gestapo beating and choking protestors. Rise up America www.tiktok.com/@healthcares...

The left just played at cancel culture, the right are absolute pros The difference in leftwing and rightwing cancel culture is that the left did it ground up from the people, while the right is top down govt persecution My @heraldscotland.bsky.social column www.heraldscotland.com/politics/vie...

The left only played at cancel culture like amateurs, it’s the right who are the real pros. They’ve skipped the cancellation stage and gone straight to persecution My @heraldscotland.bsky.social column www.heraldscotland.com/politics/vie...

The left only played at cancel culture, the right are utter pros If every artist was once an amateur, as Ralph Waldo Emerson said, then the left is at the finger-paint stage while the right has finished the Sistine Chapel My @heraldscotland.bsky.social column www.heraldscotland.com/politics/vie...

Really tough time to be an adult who actually did all the assigned high school reading.

Does nobody in America have access to a traffic cone? Scotland would have sorted this by now...

This is a real toughie…

I’ve never attempted to cancel anyone in my life. Though plenty have tried to cancel me. Sometimes with violence. To call out isn’t cancelling anyone. It’s rebutting their opinion. I’m a journalist. We do that. We debate. I’ve always defended free speech. So piss off with what you ‘remember rightly’

The last time Antifa had a clear organisational structure

Jawohl, Obergruppenführer!

reading a book about china. apparently the government there has sent federal forces into cities, taken shares of major private enterprises, slapped tariffs on industries, and pressured media outlets to fire people they politically disagreed with. didn’t know this.

Bang on

Where are all the ‘I was cancelled’ comedians? Aren’t they standing up for a fellow comedian who was actually cancelled … rather than just shouted at on Twitter before a sell out tour and globally syndicated podcast?

Man, a lot of crazy shit has happened since Epstein’s birthday letter was released a week ago Monday.

Invest in physical media. Buy the book. Buy the record. Buy the movie. Use the library.

Melania: ‘What if I pretend to be the girl from The Ring … will they even notice?’

Everything they blame the left for, they either do or plan to do. The idea is to dirty your opponent with your own filthy sins

These daft bastards. Right at the very moment when the left needs to get its shit together, these idiots descend into internal bloodletting …

Ok, fascist

How long does it take you to spot Melania in this pic?

Regardless of whether you support or oppose ‘Antifa’, it is an idea - an ideology - not an organisation. Only totalitarian regimes outlaw ideas

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

There seems to be a lot of people who mocked ‘hurty feelings’ currently very angry about their own ‘hurty feelings’

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

Like my mask for Halloween?

Shame on Downing Street for going along with this. So much for being committed to a free press
