I think it's incumbent on all of us to try and raise the level of the discourse on these topics, and I include myself in that.

This is a huge problem & it is an insult to the victims of violent crimes. The Southport murders & subsequent riots demonstrated that influential but malicious or stupid people spread lies online & faced no sanction or didn't correct their misinformation.

If I had won the Labour Deputy Leader race, I think I would have Malcolm Tuckered the audience. "YOU F**KING WELL SCRAPPED THE F**KING WINTER F**KING FUEL ALLOWANCE?!! HOW F**KING WELL DID YOU THINK THAT WAS GOING TO F**KING GO DOWN?!!"

Some important words from... Our Prime Minister?

Mike Crouch @mjcc.bsky.social · 10d

'there are clear signs that the audio of the Prime Minister in these clips is not genuine.' 'some words are pronounced unusually, such as £177 read as “one seventy seven” & April pronounced “Apri”, which suggests they are very likely to be AI-generated from misspellings'

"We're leaving the EU & joining the EEA. That's 100% market access, 0% say. I agree with Jeremy Corbyn, I will be invoking Article 50 immediately. Do, doo! Right!"

Is what David Cameron should have said!

#ReformUK need to "f**king suck it up", to use some of their own lexicon!

Mike Crouch @mjcc.bsky.social · 13d

I'm bumped off Threads again for using #ReformUK to suggest that they're a sub-par political farce. The audacity of me! 😂

Reform are hopeless. Supposed Captains of Industry, financial & managerial geniuses, and economic whiz-kids: they are in fact idiots who couldn't organise a p**s up in a brewery, much less run a country. Most of them are ex-Tories, which explains the hopelessness!

Loads of Denver Broncos fans in London. I find myself wondering: who is Eric Cartman's father? 😂

Didn't plan this, but this morning I travelled from Diss to Liverpool St on one of the 1st Great Eastern Mainline services under
government ownership.

Rail privatisation has been a colossal failure over the past 23 years, one we were forewarned of by plenty of experts!

What an admirably clear statement from the Jewish Leadership Council, especially when all of those involved must surely have been dealing with so many other urgent challenges in safety, security and grief + shock today before having this further divisive and distracting intervention to address too.

... If there wasn't, what has the second state in the 'Two-state solution' been these past many decades?

Mike Crouch @mjcc.bsky.social · Oct 3

Within the UK's two long-standing resolutions of:
1) We believe in the right of the State of Israel to exist.
2) We believe in a two-state solution.

There has always been an implicit, if not explicit recognition that:
3) We believe in the right of a State of Palestine to exist...

I'm horrified by the attack on the Jewish community in Manchester. Everybody should be safe attending acts of worship in our country.

I feel particularly hurt having lived in Manchester and knowing the Heaton Park area. My thoughts are with the British Jewish community, as well as all Mancunians.

“I would gently point out to Nigel Farage that before we left the EU we had a returns agreement with every country in the EU. He told the country it would make no difference if we left. He was wrong about that. These are Farage boats in many senses coming across the channel” 👏

3/3 As Bill Clinton said in his first inaugural address in January 1993:

"There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured by what is *right* with America." [His emphasis.]

The same can be said of the UK.

2/3 The Democrats in the States seemingly let 'Make America Great Again' be repeated ad nauseam in 2016 without reminding people that:

"America is STILL great. There's room for improvement, but DON'T knock our country."

1/3 Starmer is right to challenge Reform. Anybody against fascism needs to tackle Reform's running down of *our* nation, & it's over-simplistic 'Blame it all on the foreigner' or 'Blame it all on the other person' narratives. #LAB25

#Meta have suspended my Threads account to check I'm a real person. They've kept my FB & IG profiles with the same handle active. Surely if they doubt I'm a human it would be best to block all 3 accounts? Do they not want to lose the ad revenue from FB & IG, but #Threads doesn't have ads yet?
