I stand by my view that this and Ulysses 31 are two of the greatest childrens cartoons. Perfection. Also THE THEME TUNES.

Absolutely bang on from @lewisgoodall.com , sanity in this time of madness. Platforming these lunatics is not free speech; it's dangerous and irresponsible.

Great Yarmouth is set to host the biggest neo-nazi music festival in over a decade. The Home Office has the power to block entry of overseas bands, which will scupper the promoters plans. But they won’t act unless we demand it. Email the Home Office now: hopenothate.org.uk/2025/08/28/g...

However, the voices from others seem to be far less prominent and more diluted.

The major issue is that the vocal minority are increasingly organised - people being bussed in from all over for speeches, numbers and all sorts. The media is having a HUGE impact - voices from reform seem to be showcased every time, to ensure balance.

Couldn't agree more. The shift in attitude, rhetoric and general rage over the past 5-10 years is terrifying.

Just reading The Good Germans" by Catrine Clay, and absolutely hooked. Brilliant stories of normal people unfolding with the emergence of Hitler's Germany. #historyteacher people this is gold for those that teach the Third Reich.
