Zack Polanski used the ‘F’ word twice on BBCQT last night… and the audience applauded him for it 👇

"You actually are a fascist from a far right party… this is racism, this is facism and we should call it out"

(Against my better judgement) I've just collected it there. Love the guy, but this is definitely his weakest

For the 1st time ever, I'm in 2 minds on whether to collect an album I've pre-ordered...

Listened to the new Ashcroft album on the way to work this morning, and on first listen its comfortably his weakest yet 😬

Very poppy in parts, & others are copies of older songs

Hoping it might be a grower.

If only people would stop shagging flags and read this article instead.

They might just start to understand where the problem actually is and where their anger should be directed to.

"Andrea said she boils eggs in the kettle in her room. It is the only way to get some protein for her daughter"

People seeking asylum are not the problem.

The problems are incompetent governments & billionaires who are profiting from human misery.

Be angry at them.

The reality of asylum hotels. Private companies are lining their pockets with huge profits while people seeking safety are forced to live in sub-standard conditions. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Exactly this.

Farage as PM is a done deal. Everyone knows it.

Scotland could escape this utter fascist skidmark being the PM.

We just need to have the correct discussions this time round, but if Farage as PM isn't enough of a decision maker, nothing will be.

Reject fascism.

If you live in Scotland and you don't want to see Nigel Farage as your Prime Minister, you have to support Scottish Independence parties at the next Scottish election to give us a chance of avoiding this calamity of a politician ruling over us.

Kemi Badenoch is taking a page out of Trump’s playbook - she wants a migrant removal force inspired by ICE.

Here’s what ICE does: it uses “violent military-style offensive weaponry against people.”

We don’t want this in Britain. Ever.
