Sadly, there is a type of youth who, especially when drunk, will use Farage&Co to justify kicking the shit out of anyone slightly darker than they are.
Why?
Because they like kicking the shit out of weaker people.
I could make excuses - boredom, deprivation etc
but I don't feel nice tonight.
Thugs.

Simon Jordan on TalkSport, unchallenged yet again.

As a Talksport employee, I am embarrassed by this rebuttal of what Neville said. This moron pontificates without question. It is bonkers.

And yeah, i'll probably be sacked. Fuck it.

I always knew he was an arrogant twat but I didn’t realise he was a right-wing hateful twat. A really dislikable person.

This is the result of Farage and Jenrick’s far-right, divisive rhetoric. Hard working, responsible people feeling afraid for their future.
Disgraceful.

Does the UK have a Culture Secretary, with responsibility for this stuff, who might take an interest in how media regulation works? If there is such a person, does anyone know what she/he does all day?

Someone please explain.
What is the point of Ofcom?
Utterly useless.

Badenoch and Co see education only as a means to a massive income in some soul destroying career.

Devoid of imagination and the power of knowledge they view life entirely through the prism of the CV.

My advice always is to study what interests you and the rest will follow

The point, like most institutions now, is to uphold the illusion of a social contract, while providing plausible deniability for the UK government (red or blue) to deliberately create and nurture culture wars and wedge issues.

Hard working, tax paying people scared of the jobless racist gammons who don't seem to realise that it's him and millions of other hard working, tax paying immigrants that pay for their benefits... All while the gammony leadership of the right-wing parties happily grift while gaslighting and lying!

Storonsky is a Russian entrepreneur with links to the Kremlin and who was unsurprisingly granted British citizenship in 2004 by the Tories. He used the UK to raise his family and build his business empire before abandoning the UK to move to Dubai to avoid paying additional tax. #BoycottRevolut

So a Russian entrepreneur who is granted (bought) British citizenship, uses the UK to build his wealth then abandons it and moves to Dubai. We really don't need people like this in our country.

@conservatives.bsky.social are normalising fascism by discussing Jenrick's reworked Nazi scapegoating as if it has any place in decent society.

@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social @channel4news.bsky.social @itvnews.bsky.social should at very least compare CON Reform & Labour with historical fascism.

Robert Jenrick ended his party conference speech with the line 'Let's take our country back'. Did he ask permission from his far-right friends to borrow it?
