In Middlesbrough, northern England, during the 2024 riots by the far-right, groups of angry men had been stopping cars to check if the occupants were white - if not they were to be forced back or possibly physically attacked.

One driver brushed passed someone who then claimed he had been "run over"

I am so utterly sick of this merry-go-round ride we are all on.

The world is spinning out of control and it truly feels like we don't have any control anymore.

Is it just me? Am I too over-sensitive?

It is the bleakest of times in my opinion.

"Iran's regime crushing protests in bloody crackdown"
"As the death toll grows, hopes of outside help seem faint."

US President Trump had posted online:
"Iranian Patriots, KEEP PROTESTING"

Which encouraged many in Iran who had seen it - but has now quietly backtracked.

Just Farage's way of trying to maximise defections, with an opportunist like him - there's no way he will refuse future defections.
NEW: Nigel Farage says the "door for defections" will close after the May 7 local elections.

"Trump Is Reportedly Funneling Money From Venezuelan Oil Sales To a Bank Account in Qatar"

Qatar sounds like the perfect intermediary for Trump, the Qataris get kickbacks and Trump gets (off the record) income to bail out his businesses, a profitable presidency.

The net results of years of Farage being indulged by the media, the rightwing press and social media.
"The flag acts as a warning sign: a silent message. It makes you more vigilant…you go into a house with a flag, you have to prepare emotionally for the possibility of racism or rejection”

This is Farage’s ‘patriotism’ in action. It’s not pride. It’s intimidation.

Trump flip-flops on Iran.

The US president said ‘important sources’ told him executions are not going ahead.

Mere days after Trump urged Iranians to continue protesting he's now changed tack which will disappoint those who thought he was about to take action.
