Great Yarmouth is set to host the biggest neo-nazi music festival in over a decade. The Home Office has the power to block entry of overseas bands, which will scupper the promoters plans. But they won’t act unless we demand it. Email the Home Office now: hopenothate.org.uk/2025/08/28/g...

A 2% tax on wealth would only (mildly) affect 20,000 people but would generate £24bn each year that we can spend on fixing the country. End child poverty, improve the NHS, fix our schools and all that good stuff.

It is inherently absurd to proscribe a group as terrorists based on acts the public doesn't know about. Terrorism *by definition* involves violence intended to intimidate a civilian population. How can the target population be terrorised by acts they know nothing about?

Really inconsiderate of Gazan children to choose the school holiday period to starve to death and therefore force Freeman to confront her own complicity in genocide.

[But don't worry, she succeeds in blaming it all on Hamas and "very bad people."]

The right has gone absolutely nuts. The Tory party is chewed up with its brexity failure and the prejudice ticket that once gave it power. Reform’s rise from their ashes is the toxic aftermath. And the media dance along like it’s all so exciting, rather than a goddam nightmare for us all.

It is absolutely absurd that Diane Abbott has been suspended for this.

She's describing the lived experience of anti-Black racism.

She wasn't saying Jewish people and Travellers don't experience racism. She's saying that racism takes different forms.
