The 21st century in white people countries has just been one slow, grinding lesson in just how bad things can get if we relentlessly protect and promote wealthy, important people who should be in jail

This year's Nobel Peace Prize winner was an apt choice. An islamophobic Zionist who rubs shoulders with Europe's far-right including Geert Wilders and Marie Le Pen and who has expressed support for a renewed Reconquista. Europe's direction of travel encapsulated.

Horrific. A 50-year old black man had a stroke & was confused from it. Cops didn’t want to “waste time” doing a thorough evaluation for a medical emergency, assumed it was drugs, & simply threw him in jail. He died

A tragic example of the cruelty of structural racism

Vast profits exported, Britons stare at sewage in rivers.

If the government wants economic growth it must bring essential industries into public ownership

Successive governments clobber households and small businesses by hiking interest rates to manage inflation, but don’t inconvenience corporations.

If EVERYTHING you think you know about trans people has been learnt from social and mainstream media over the past 10 years, and not an actual trans person, it's probably 80% garbage. Talk to a real trans person. Read a book published before 2015. We are anything but new, and We. Are. Going. Nowhere

Met chief Mark Rowley's comments are being interpreted by this racist stalker as a green light. (I am fine with not recording non-crime incidents if the police will police hate crimes, and the government/regulators clean up an unlawful sewer. BUT the racists are hearing permission for more racism)

As I said a couple hours ago about a different fake video, you don't need to feel stupid if you fell for it.

Don’t feel stupid if you fell for fake video. It can be really hard to tell these days. But we do have to try and be careful with what we share because there’s so much AI video out there.
