Seems the BBC significantly exaggerated the Home Office case here, both in their wording on Twitter and on the broadcast itself. Home Office lawyers did *not* say this, which would be politically toxic, and play right into the hands of you know who. >

Well done to the broadcasters who have spent so long doing the PR for the far right in this country - I hope you won’t pretend it was nothing to do with your valiant efforts if we get a far right government- it is important that your contribution is remembered

How to do it:
Go to Facebook, create a post, tap “Check In,” and search for “Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport.” It’ll pop right up.

Let’s jam the system and flood the feed.
Let them know we’re watching. Let them know we care.

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

There was a lot of press around Liz Truss sending Keir Starmer a lawyer's letter threatening action.

Has anything happened as a result?

Starmer clearly hasn't met her demands, and I guess from the silence she hasn't taken action.

So why no follow-up reporting showing she was full of shit?

How to recognise the Asian Hornet & how to report...

This invasive species has been found to devour 1400 species and not just honeybees.

Despite efforts to eradicate the pest – the Asian hornet is still spreading in Switzerland. We cannot let the Asian Hornet establish in UK.

I hope that this clear and measured explanation, by @lcrmayor.bsky.social Steve Rotheram, of the danger and panic caused by those maliciously stoking hate - even if they are "just posting from their kitchen tables" - gives the posse of commentators defending such actions pause for thought. ~AA

If you've seen those headlines and felt a twinge of outrage, you're not alone.

But let's take a closer look at who's actually getting these lessons and why.

Nigel Farage has told ITV News the first thing he would do as prime minister if he won a general election would be to remove the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights

That alone is good reason never to vote for Reform UK.

THIS IS WHY

Absolutely damning.

Seems that the British government made not attempt to find out if the Russians had interfered in the EU Brexit referendum.
In case you missed it ...
Here's a damning verdict from the Intelligence & Security Committee regarding Boris Johnson's half-baked report into Russian interference in the Brexit ref. Basically, they didn't even bother looking for any! Surely now it's time for a public enquiry into Putin's Brexit!

TODAY IS #HumanRightsDay

Let’s remember Human Rights are universal & non- negotiable.

If we start stripping away basic human rights from any section of society then none of us has rights – just privileges that can be taken away by people in power whenever they want
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage says

“We need to leave the ECHR so we can deport people that come illegally & take back control of our borders & that’s what the public wants”

Share if you disagree with his populist boll**** the UK should join Russia & Belarus outside the ECHR

The protestors want to call it "the tractor tax" because calling it "the inheritance tax protest" would turn off public opinion.

The tractors coming into London today, in fact, pay no road tax, no congestion charge, and no ULEZ.

Exempt from all.
