Newcastle says no to fascism.

The far right brought a hundred or so with them, bussed from far and wide. This city turned out 1000s, from local communities, estates and streets. Geordies of all backgrounds coming together and outnumbering the purveyors of hate by some distance.

It's important that in the video he only poses BESIDE the fancy car, in too-tight trousers with no socks.

Despicable propagandists in the billionaire media howl that oil + gas workers hate action to tackle the climate crisis.

They want out — and they want a worker-led #JustTransition to another world🧵

Is the fossil fuel industry nearing it's end?

Totally agree with this, especially as an antidote to weasel words like 'controversial' or 'outspoken' about people who are objectively bigoted.
