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.

We need to fight fascism and frankly, cultural tools are needed badly to do that right now. We need a way to have this conversation, to shift it away from the migrants.

I know it maybe feels a bit too close to home, but comedy is powerful and people need a release. It is also an incrediby strong tool to get people to reflect on questions they may not want to engage with otherwise.

What British TV is best at is comedy, specifically: dryly mocking being British, dark humor. Why on earth is there not a TV sitcom ripping the piss out of Reform as a totally incompetent party of bigots?

Yesterday at a @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social councillors from all parties came together to endorse the Brum United against Racism & Hate Crime campaign. Brummies stand united. There is no place for racism, hate or division in our city. #BrumUnited #FightRacism #NoPlaceForHate

Convicted foreign rapists should not be allowed into this country. It's not controversial. So why are Farage, Starmer and Badenoch sucking up to this convicted foreign rapist this week? Reform is the establishment, and the establishment is crooked

This is how blatantly the #BBC and other news favours Reform. This is appalling and unbalanced and needs addressing NOW. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/how...

Days later, and the UK media is still obsessed with the shooting of Charlie Kirk, a man almost nobody in the UK would have ever heard of prior to his murder. The attempt to lionise a man who held views most in the UK would find sickening is a lamentable demonstration of the state of our media.

In a sane world, Fox host Brian Kilmeade would be fired and shunned for his depraved comments that homeless people should be euthanized. That’s sick (and deeply ignorant), but sicker still is that it’s tolerated.

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

There is no such thing as a middle class. There are two classes. There are workers and there are owners. The idea of a middle class is a form of elitist propaganda to manufacture a false sense of class solidarity between the working class and billionaires. kailuther.substack.com/p/there-is-n...

The extreme right appropriate this flag as an emblem for a small-minded tribal concept of a mythological Britain that has never, nor will ever exist... ...except in their dreams. This flag is special. It represents our land, our people, our history, our culture. ALL our culture. ALL our people.

This is very accurate
