In the year ending 31 December 2024, there were 248 arrests for terrorist-related activity in Great Britain. The 10 year median is 265.

Under Labour this number is already over 2000.

This is what authoritarianism looks like.

Mr Laos. Just when you though this year was a bit quiet on the insanely huge, bedazzled, symbolic costumes along comes Mr Laos and blows everyone else out of the water. This is insane, but it's also *so* good.

How is damaging a building "violence"?

Decahedron 🏳️‍🌈 @decahedronx.bsky.social · 1d

My condolences.

I wouldn't even report anti social behaviour, the police largely don't exist.

But also smartphones are bad for children...

Riddle me that.

How can you introduce smartphone free childhood and mandatory digital ID for children requiring a smartphone?

The newly released Official Statistics for Hate Crime in 2024-2025 do not accurately reflect the true prevalence of anti-LGBT+ hate in England and Wales. This misrepresentation matters.

Labour Party deputy leader contest.

I won't vote for Bridget Phillipson or Lucy Powell.

Both are right-wing.
Supported two-child benefit cap, disability benefit cuts.
Snooping on benefit claimants' bank accounts.

In the words of Billy Connolly, “Don't vote, it only encourages them.”

On World Mental Health Day I am going for a second interview, at a mental health charity.

How fortuitous.

“It was the 89th anniversary of the arrest of my father for being one of the organisers of the 1936 Cable Street resistance to the rise of fascism in Britain.

I was arrested on Saturday with hundreds of others at the Defend Our Juries action…”

Remember that whether you agree with direct action activism like @bashback.bsky.social the indirect and direct branches must not criticise one another.

We are all working towards the same goals.

I love people who put in so much effort to ridicule the orange sack of protoplasm.

This is top tier. The Witch-king of Angmar at the end is just perfect.
