“It’s not that you can’t say what you want, you can. It’s freedom from consequence. As long as laws for racially-motived offences are still in place, the racists go out of their way to say they’re not racist, because the law still works and that is their problem.” - Mark on @mrjamesob.bsky.social

I have taken the decision to cutoff all my current email addresses and use one new one that I distribute very VERY carefully.

Sam Leith @questingvole.bsky.social · 5h

“43 new emails”. 🫩 This since I last checked an hour ago. Of course not more than three are from humans. But they take time for a human to delete. Direction of travel: not good.

A wee message from us 👇

A Message to the Police (British) State

News of a Crown Prosecution Service Appeal against the ruling of their own judge is unsurprising.

He ruled the charge was ‘unlawful and null’ and it was.

It is unsurprising because this whole process has not been driven by the police or the courts, it has been driven by politicans backed up by British media. This is political policing.

There is no ‘important point of law’. The CPS have submitted nothing new in their appeal. What there is though, is a state wide witch-hunt against Palestinian solidarity.

The media were gleefully informed about this appeal before we were.

😠

A Message to the Police (British) State

Once again this is a massive waste of taxpayers money, of police time, of court time.

Once again there are endless news reports about Mo Chara, about Kneecap but we are NOT the story.

Yesterday 104 Palestinians were murdered in Gaza and hundreds more maimed as Israel commits genocide.

Entire families wiped out, people bombed to pieces as they slept, young kids with limbs blown off and no medicaine to treat them.

This is aided and supported by the British State.

We will fight you in your court again. We will win again.

FREE PALESTINE / TIOCHFAIDH ÁR LÁ

I mean, he’s correct. I’ve never wanted to join a political movement more with every attack line that comes from these right wing trash rags.

I'm never actually going to need to write another comment piece again am I?

The right wing shit rags are just going to keep recruiting for us.

It’s not just Cleverly. There are a whole host of complicit politicians, journalists and radio hosts who are guilty of the same rhetoric.

If my numbers are accurate, all I need do is rally all the immigrants into forming a party and we would outnumber the Tories, Reform, Green and Lib Dems combined.

Keep it up, Zack. It’s about time the Establishment had a shakedown. I’ve never been a party member of any though very politically engaged. You are close to changing that.

If you’ve outed yourself nationally as a racist, I’m not sure this line of comedy about a black fellow MP is the way to convince people you’re not a racist.

We can’t out-Republican Republicans, nor should we want to.

Democrats need to say what they believe — and actually believe in something.
