Stealing, fomr the wonderful Iain Banks:
“I mean, your society’s broken, so who should we blame? Should we blame the rich, powerful people who caused it? No let’s blame the people with no power & no money & these immigrants who don’t even have the vote, yeah it must be their fucking fault.”

Please give a shout out for the counter protest in Hull on Saturday 27th.
4 far-right groups are amassing in our city centre, the same people who organised the Farage Riots last year.
Join local Unions and anti-racists to let them know they’re not welcome.

You did it. The neo-Nazi gig planned for Great Yarmouth has been CANCELLED. ❗

Over 34,000 of you emailed the Home Office and spread the word. Local press, councils and police took notice, and under pressure, we have just received the news that the venue has pulled the plug.

OTD 1819 Peterloo Massacre. 18 killed & hundreds wounded when pro-democracy meeting of c.60,000 people charged by Cheshire yeomanry, Manchester & Salford Yeomanry & 15th Hussars with 31st & 88th Regts & artillery also deployed. 15th fought at Waterloo & a Waterloo veteran among marchers killed.

Dubbed Peterloo by Manchester Observer. Meeting called for Parliamentary reform and repeal of corn laws. 4 women and a 2 yr old among the dead. The Waterloo veteran killed was John Lees, the son of a mill owner who joined the Royal Artillery aged 15, a regiment which had two guns present but not used at Peterloo. He was beaten horrendously and died of wounds 3 weeks later.

With UK news shows reporting more than 50,000 small boat migrants have crossed the English Channel since Labour came to power now would be a good time to remind Nigel Farage & others that Brexit has been a primary factor in the sky rocketing number of small boat crossings

Imagine the shock when he finds out Brexit is a primary factor in sky rocketing small boat crossings

A total disgrace of a paper.

I would worry for Jenrick’s daughters too, being brought up by a hate-mongering opportunist, driven mad by Tory failure and now desperate to whip up prejudice, division and social unrest in his vile pursuit of power.

Nick Tenconi. Leader of UKIP, last Friday. I have intentionally slowed the clip to demonstrate exactly what he is doing, to avoid any confusion. This sort of thing has become more normalised in so-called Western democracies. Whilst demonstrating against genocide, can get you arrested.

We geolocated the view out of the window as Jeremy Bowen's team filmed packages falling from a plane over Gaza yesterday. They were dropped into a "dangerous combat zone", which Palestinians are warned not to enter because it would put their lives at risk. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cd...

If Climate Change really was "a money making racket" as Jenkyn's suggests, the likes of grasping Nigel Farage and his Reform UK business would've been lining their pockets for decades shouting about CO2.

Instead, they chose to line their pockets lying about immigrants.
