Doesn’t surprise me one bit…… towns that time (governments) forgot, a drop in industry, poorly paid jobs, rise in holiday homes in rural areas, rise of support for anti-union parties like Reform/Tories….. the reasons are endless. 😢

Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this.

So we’re in a position where probably 1 or 2 people in the Ashington area are forcing their ‘freedom of expression’ on the entire town by hoying up flags. What about the others? How do we express our views without being targeted? @laverymp.bsky.social

The whole flag issue is just baffling to me, and it really can’t be challenged without motivating the right even more than they are already. 🤯

Mark Hennessey @mercedesmarksist.bsky.social · 24d

It made me feel happier at the time that’s for sure.

How are you educating members? I work with alongside A LOT of Unison members whose views are rogue to say the least. It’s tough but keep working on it for all our sakes. 🙏🏻

It’s the immigrants
It’s the trans people
It’s the gay people
It’s abortions
It’s women
It’s the working class

Reform and their followers will keep hating then move onto the next marginalised group, but nothing will change until everyone realises……

IT’S THE BILLIONARES!
