Local people decorating their street in response to fascist attacks.(picture stolen from reddit)

A black hoarding alongside a building site. It has been decorated with chalk paints, with messages such as 'everyone's streets', 'kindness is our strength', 'hope', 'no human is illegal'.

Assassin's Creed Syndicate made you do a lot of freeing forced labour - apparently they're fine with this for white children?

Supreme Court sanctioned this openly racist harassment though.

Where a actually are we in that? The police said he 'as good as' confessed and then the world immediately shut the fuck up - does his motive not fit a tidy narrative?

This is an unfair mischaracterisation.

The second number should be negative.

The other thing is that when people make this claim they invariably oppose refugee status on the grounds of persecution for sexuality.

There is nothing Badenoch cares more about than hating trans people so of course she has to throw that in and of course she does it in the crassest, thickest, most nonsensical way possible

Badenoch: "While Britain was redefining what a woman is, China built five nuclear reactors."

A perfect summary of conservative idiocy. Glorifying authoritarian post-communism for its efficiency while vilifying democracy for seeking nuance and respect.

It is the Right who hate their own countries.

The transformation of MLK from highly radical socialist campaigner to 'some guy who said we shouldn't say the N word' is complete.

Said police force also decided to impose s.14 Public Order Act conditions on both the fash and anti-fash sides last week and only enforce them on the anti-fash side.

Two tier policing update: It's now lawful to kick brown lefty protesters infront of a police constable.

This is the same police force that tried to prosecute me under s.5 Public Order Act for swearing when someone attacked me.

Screencap of a news article headlined 'Pro-Palestone protester kicked by man at Norwich City Hall'. The picture shows a man kicking a young Arabic lad in the stomach. The caption notes 'no further action will be taken against a man who kicked a pro-Palestinian protesters outside Norwich City Hall last week'

Please note the prospect of these powers being used on, say, a far right protest led by an open holocaust denier would be approximately zero.

Harry @harry-is-human.bsky.social · 19h

Antisemitic chanting is already unlawful under s.18 Public Order Act, and such unlawful behaviour can lead to the police dispersing the protest under any of their various powers to do so.

Politicians should be asked what specific chants they think are lawful that shouldn't be.

They don't, you just apply a human one. He was fine with them previously, just hated this one.

Tbh they've not been that useful, we had one good one then two that failed, one giving a false low reading.

We're back to doing ear pricks now.

Well, he pulled off his glucose monitor making it bleed and then licked the scab until it bled again and now he's in a massive sulk about the consequences.
