No sudden rupture is now required for the far right to take power in this country. For what we're seeing is a steady normalisation of extremists by the Conservative and Labour Parties, BBC, Telegraph, Mail and others. A shift once considered unthinkable beings to look acceptable, even inevitable.🧵

Thank you!
I have updated the app and now have a bookmark function, too.

Is there a bookmark function anywhere on Bluesky that I have not found yet or need to activate?

This poll is in dire need of help.

It is still 78% no

Sky News and the BBC repeatedly mention the "migrant crisis" in doing so they are normalising and legitimising far right talking points. There is no "migrant crisis", there is only migrant hysteria, which the British media is feeding into instead of countering.

I dont know how exactly this works. Are Settled Status and Indefinite Leave to Remain part of international agreements (eg Brexit) or „just“ national UK legislation?

If I remember correctly Settled Status for EU citizens in the UK came in as secondary legislation, therefore could be changed/revoked without going through parliament.

When I brought that up at the time I was told that would never happen in the UK.

"Der neue Leiter des Hauses habe die Einladung auf Weisung des Bürgermeisters zurückziehen müssen (...) Begründet worden sei dies unter anderem mit der Sorge vor Protesten durch rechte Gruppen."

Es handelt sich um einen Auftritt von Michel Friedman im Herbst 2026.

Was für eine Schande.

No sense of humour

Who has been polled? Do you happen to have a link, please?

Are the Nightingale hospitals a good example to follow? Where they not closed again - never having been used - as there were no people to staff it?

A Greek friend of mine, when learning German, had really liked this expression (but not memorised it correctly). The next time he came across two great minds thinking alike he enthusiastically called out „zwei Wörter, ein Idiot!“ (two words, one idiot) …

Danke Dir für den Post. Ich hatte noch nie von ihm gehört und habe jetzt noch ein bisschen mehr zu seinem Leben gelesen. Ich bewundere seinen Mut!
