Lots of coffee for me today. I started watching Riot Women on BBC iPlayer last night and much as it was hard hitting subjects, I ended up binge watching the lot. Had the potential to be whismical but ended up being brilliant. Would totally recommend for women of a certain age in particular.

A US citizen & human rights defender identified as Rachel S. was abducted & beaten by ICE Trump regime forces in LA, then transported to the hospital and then a detention center, local rights defenders demand an investigation.

She is heard screaming: "Let me go! I am an American! I was born here!"

This video from @politicsjoe.bsky.social sums up Farage perfectly!

All the reasons not to vote for him in one song!

Thanks for singing it Farage! 😂

Great thread about Farage’s German immigrant roots. The man is a blatant hypocrite.
ottoenglish.bsky.social
Otto English @ottoenglish.bsky.social · 23d
In the late 19th century, millions of migrants left Germany as a result of religious persecution, economic hardship, and political uncertainty.

Among them was Nikolaus Schrod, a cabinet maker from Frankfurt who - along with his wife Bina - moved to London to start a new life in the 1850s. 1/3

Reform UK's Councillor Peter Mason for Burton South, East Staffordshire has some pretty disgusting posts.

It's all under the title 'County Councillor'. So we're here to share them.

Look how smiley Nigel Farage is in this photo posing with Peter.

Appalled to see this image of Donald Trump and the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein projected onto Windsor Castle.

Please... for the love of all that is good, do not share it on all your social media channels... because it simply wouldn't be done to remind the world of the association

The 4 people who did this 'Led by Donkeys' were arrested for this as 'malicious communications'

But it is just facts.

Reform UK Controlled Staffordshire Council 👀

Christchurch Lane in Lichfield, on Councillor Peter Mason's patch.

Nigel Farage claimed Reform were going to ‘fix all the potholes in Britain’, but they cannot even get a job like this done… 🙃

Sadly, sexual predators and pedophiles near the King is nothing new - look up the history of the most influential men in his life - Lord Mountbatten and Laurens Van Der Post or his close religious advisor Peter Ball (oh and Jimmy Savile)

It’s always difficult, I think, to do a post out of the blue where you just come straight out and say “BUY MY BOOK HERE LOOK HERE IT IS” without any preamble, but sometimes you just have to take a deep breath and do it.

Tl;dr: BUY MY BOOK HERE LOOK HERE IT IS

The man, who did not give his name, identified himself as a former criminal from Kent who has spent 26 years in prison. “Keir Starmer needs to be assassinated,” he said. “Someone needs to shoot Keir Starmer.”

Today people went around my neighborhood in north east London spray painting St George’s crosses onto people’s homes. Many of these houses have non British people living in them.

This is getting very dark, very quick.

Saw a local Tory councillor from Rugby - Tony Gillias - being interviewed on channel 4 as he took part on the horrible far right march in London today. The world is going bad seriously.
