Not only is Trump's regime going after those protesting ICE's brutality.
Now they're going after the journalists who cover the protests.
It's an all-out assault on the First Amendment.

Meanwhile the pavements of Blackheath are hemmed in by railings giving deference to cars and creating an unpleasant pedestrian environment. No celebrity petition to fix that as a solution for declining high street trade!

Effectively, I wrote about this for @bylinetimes.bsky.social three years ago, in a piece was on the mainstreaming of conspiracism—which is basically what Question Time does when it regularly platforms ethnonationalists or genocide-deniers.

Be in no doubt: the far right in the UK - Reform, Farage, Tommy Robinson and their supporters - are looking at what is happening in the US and saying: “That’s what we must have here.”
These ICE executions are an inevitable result of recruiting an army of inadequately vetted and trained people.
Trump knew ICE would attract violent racists and psychopaths.
He did not care because he wanted to deter opposition by striking terror in the populace.
It’s what fascist regimes do.

Indeed. Combined left/ilberal/Remain bloc in London much larger than the right/nationalist/Leave bloc. And London's overall demographics are v Reform unfriendly (lots and lots of graduates, young voters, ethnic minorities etc).
Nigel Farage is talking up Reform's chances of winning the next London mayoral election. But the fact that Labour are restoring the supplementary vote system for mayoral elections makes it pretty unlikely this would happen, I would have thought.

The debate on immigration has become so toxic that we are in danger of not being able to talk about it at all - we need to change that because otherwise we could make the situation worse for all concerned. However hard it is, I won’t stop trying to change the conversation. If you agree please share.

This, of course is the newspaper that pretends to be feminist to attack trans people but has called Trump a "feminist hero" and "feminist champion" and celebrated the overturning of the constitutional right to an abortion.
