It takes time for people to get that we’re in the fascist timeline.
Fascism is rooted in colonialism. We’ve seen it in Palestine & the imperial boomerang is bringing it to Europe.
I spoke to BBC five live listeners to point out the danger, & that’s why @ukstoptrump.bsky.social is mobilising ✊🏽.

Migrants must have no debt??? The whole country is based on debt. That’s what Britain sells to the world. It makes our elite wealthy. But of course, their victims just deserve ever more punishment.

The government is not even trying to hide its far-right turn. Yesterday’s asylum changes show it clearly.
We will keep resisting the scapegoating of migrants, and we will always stand by one another.

“It is horrifying that this Palestinian family, fleeing Israel’s brutal settler colonial regime, is being treated so inhumanely, especially right after they raised concerns about poor hotel accommodation in national media.”
