“How did it come to this; where death has become our only option?

If you hear this...if you feel this...please consider sharing our testimony.
Let the world know we existed +that we begged to be heard.”

Brexit Bin 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 🇩🇪 @brexitbin.bsky.social · 2d

"Brexiteers boasted that leaving the EU would be worth hundreds of billions a year. Cambridge Econometrics estimates that over the next decade Britain's economy will be £300bn smaller than if we had not left the EU. This is self-harm on a heroic scale."

We all know Brexit’s to blame for the crisis facing UK steel – it’s time for politicians to be honest and reverse it | Simon Jenkins

A fascist with a God complex should never get the Nobel Peace prize!

Trump’s not known in the US for “tireless work promoting democratic rights” - quite the opposite in fact!!!

UAE has no democratically elected institutions, no free speech and an appalling human rights record.

Its economy functions on completely different metrics to the ours & ranks well below us for GDP

No serious person would ever think that we should emulate it.

But here's Tice calling us decadent

One significant - & dangerous - thing to watch for is professional commentators objecting to words rather than examining the evidence. It's pearl-clutching & cowardly, obviously, but also a deliberate attempt to avoid confronting exactly what they themselves are facilitating and often cheering on.

“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”

“Because that’s what they are”
