I used to think the glass was half full.

It’s ironic that a nation which for decades sanctimoniously trumpeted the superiority of it’s democratic ideals around the world, while simultaneously undermining and overthrowing democratically elected governments, now faces an existential threat to those “ideals”.

Unfortunately it isn’t going to be front page news.

I think the trawl is for the nonces first. Then highlight the obvious MAGA ones. Not excusing the cunts.

Gonna be front page news! Ain’t it?

But immediately called out as the rancid dog whistle racism that it is by Labour? Surely?

It would uncover far too much.

Please enlighten me. The media/political swamp is obviously pro Israel. They seem to have fucked up here. Oops!
Let’s move on.

option 4(!): the fans aren’t allowed to travel *by their own club because it admits they have an extreme racism problem* and Starmer looks like a colossal moron

Euan @euan.bsky.social · 7h

there’s three outcomes here:
1. the fans aren’t allowed to travel and Starmer looks weak
2. the fans are allowed to travel and there’s no major trouble but the cost of the police Starmer insisted on is ridiculous
3. the fans are allowed to travel and there is major trouble and it’s Starmer’s fault

this particular rake wasn’t even in the path of the government until they decided to march straight towards it for some reason

A senior Tory MP advocating the deportation of legally qualified UK citizens simply because of their race would surely produce an avalanche of condemnation from a Labour government? Wouldn’t it?

The child raped by Prince Andrew and subjected to sadomasochistic sex by Jeffrey Epstein thought she would "die a sex slave" to Epstein and his rich friends, the BBC reports. The memoir is heightening calls to release the Epstein Files, a move opposed by the GOP House. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Virginia Giuffre thought she might 'die a sex slave' at hands of Epstein and his circle, memoir reveals

The BBC obtained a copy of Virginia Giuffre's posthumous memoir ahead of its publication on Tuesday.

This is the depth that we have sunk in this country. And it isn’t stopping.

The literal inspiration for a far right mass murderer is positively quoting the words of a Labour government minister as an endorsement for her rancid pro Israel propaganda.

Good luck. You’ll need it.

Your naive optimism is kinda pathetic.

This isn’t a random right wing nutter. This is THE opposition party in this country. Do not be so disingenuous. Any LABOUR government should call out this rancid dog whistle racism loudly and clearly.

That will get headlines for sure.

But at least we’re making up for it by welcoming with open arms those citizens of the countries we raped and plundered who want to come here and positively contribute to our failing social care and health care system. Aren’t we?

OMG! In Comey's motion to dismiss for vindictive prosecution, he points to others who have lied to Congress that were NOT prosecuted. Number one is JEFF SESSIONS when he said "I have been called a surrogate at a time or two, but I did not have contact with the Russians." 1/
