If you’re a parent in London interested in mutual aid and community organising that benefits children and their families then I’m always up for a chat as I’m struggling to meet other parents who are into that instead of say, raw milk and being anti-vax

Two 4x4 drivers within a minute of each other just drove at me on my bike, one on a zebra crossing. Hope they both die.

This is really fucking scary and the only thing we can do is basically show up with solidarity as much as possible. Whatever mark and their family need

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

The literal reading of this statement is Pam Bondi is planning extrajudicial executions of random protesters.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

If I don’t have the money to spend in a pub at 11pm, what makes you think I’ll have the money to spend it in a pub at 2am?

Again, this is active collaboration between government and media to go back to stoking and fear hate against members of the public protesting the annihilation of the Gaza Strip. It is scum behaviour and it should be viewed with total withering contempt by everyone.

New: Keir Starmer promises a crackdown on offensive "chants" following a wave of pro-Palestine protests on the second anniversary of Hamas's invasion of Israel.
The prime minister vows to review current public order powers for police, and promises a
"conversation" with forces about "the way these [protests] are being policed"
Protests at campuses across the UK took place yesterday, in defiance of ministers' pleas for people to show restraint out of respect for the 1,200 killed and hostages still held by Hamas.
Starmer tells hacks on a trade trip to Mumbai:
"I've asked the home secretary to look more broadly at what other powers are available, how they're being used, and whether they should be changed in any way.
"I think we need to go further than that in relation to some of the chants that are going on at some of these protests."

A British version of ICE already exists. And it’s also called ICE! They raid businesses and detain people with the intention of deporting them. Lots of antiraids networks across the country do valuable community work building resistance to them. Lazy, incurious journalism strikes again.

Join your local antiraids network, or at least attend a know your rights session, join community alerts group chats and keep a bust card on you at all times.

19 squads exist around the country and they are busy little bastards, harassing our friends, family and neighbours. There is a raid in Hull on average every FIVE days, as per a freedom of information request local activists sent the Home Office. www.gov.uk/government/p...

Starmer’s crackdown on food delivery riders? That was ICE (Immigration Compliance and Enforcement). Here they are in Hull.

Immigration Compliance and Enforcement officers in black uniform detain a Just Eat courier, who is surrounded against a wall with his delivery bag on the floor at his feet.

The purpose of putting these flags up consists of four elements:

1. To radicalise individuals by means of getting them used to carrying out clandestine, nighttime activities which may or may not be legal.

On the left people call it "killing the cop in your head". It's a training exercise.

The people putting these flags up aren't a grassroots movement, they're being astroturfed via Tommy Robinson and Turning Point by US Christian Nationalist money, and the second their message starts to get lost you'll see all those flags replaced by British Movement or BNP or Britain First ones.

Starmer calling pro-Palestine protestors "un-British" barely counts as a dogwhistle tbh, it's straight up racism.

I don't remember him calling Just Stop Oil "un-British" no matter how annoyed he got
