As an anarchist I’ve never joined a political party.
Today I did.
With Tommy Robinson rallying the far right, silence isn’t rebellion.
Joining the Greens under @zackpolanski.bsky.social is my act of defiance: the only party willing to call Reform what they are - fascists.

Stunning development: Senators now confirm the Trump admin’s 28-point “peace plan” for Ukraine wasn’t a U.S. plan at all. It was a Russian wish list. Follow along. This is crazy. 1/

Yep. And no doubt his buddy Trump was right there beside him. It's clear they remained friends until the day he was arrested.
A review of the newly released Epstein emails by the Telegraph reveals that Epstein was carefully building networks with European fascist groups, starting with British fascist "Tommy Robinson" (Stephen Yaxley-Lennon). Why is unclear. Bu many of these groups are supported by both Putin and Trump.

Also gave up with Labour after they went after PIP/Disabled and pensioners. HR lawyer could have done so much better. Greens & Polanski getting our support from now on. Local Labour MP useless. Inexperienced, ineffective, except at SM & self-promotion. Labour handing votes to Reform. 😠

I've been there. Not with specs, but basic needs. bloody people. That's why we're NC.
... if, maybe, everybody could pitch in to help me get new glasses, instead of whatever else they were going to get me. Even $10 would help.
They laughed. They said how terrible it would be for a teenager to get GLASSES for her birthday instead of music and earrings.
And that's what I got.

They already did, albeit much more politely. Excellent ref, though.
I would advise the BBC to refer him to Arkell v. Pressdram for an appropriate response.
