We've not watched Home Alone 2 in a while, does it have a disclaimer at the start saying "it's got a current fascist in it, sooorry!" like those Disney films that say "we put racist animals in it, please ignore 🫤"

This won’t stop people seeking protection in the UK. It will make it harder for refugees to rebuild their lives, feel secure and contribute to their communities. It will create a load more work for the Home Office, reviewing claims every three years.

What is the actual fucking point of contacting your MP about anything that matters if they're a Tory dickhead? I'm not really expecting to change his mind considering all this person has done for the country already (derogatory)

Tonight was the first green party branch meeting since I joined, and I think because I asked some questions and contributed a bit they thought I might want to run for parish or town councillor and I had to firmly say I simply could not do that because *life* but happy to bring ideas!

Easy enough. Here's a pair of songs off the 135 #Ska (or near enough) albums available on Spotify from this year, so far. Which is actually pretty low, as we've been averaging ~250 or so yearly for a while now. (Though odds are I'm probably missing a bunch too.)

Newcastle says no to fascism.
The far right brought a hundred or so with them, bussed from far and wide. This city turned out 1000s, from local communities, estates and streets. Geordies of all backgrounds coming together and outnumbering the purveyors of hate by some distance.

The Brit Card: Nobody asked for it, it wasn’t in the election manifesto, it’s unclear why anyone would want one and the malicious uses for it are obvious, and loads of people hate the idea, but you know what? *Fuck you*, that’s what. We’re in charge. Fuck. You.
Please launch this in Scotland in a blaze of patriotic red, blue and white imagery, making it very clear everyone must have one, or they will get fucked. Put photos of the King on it, maybe Captain Tom as well. Boris Johnson, if he will fit. Thank you

When 100 thousand trans people rallied in London it was only worthy for the "local news" section.
Don’t recall BBC News leading with any of the myriad marches for Palestine, #PeoplesVote or #Rejoin. How very odd. How very strange. How very expected.

A house across the street put an England flag in their window over the last couple of days. At least now I have a specific reason to think they're dickheads.

"Now I see a little better how Nazism overcame Germany - not by attack from without or by subversion from within, but with a whoop and a holler. It was what most Germans wanted -or, under pressure of combined reality and illusion, came to want. They wanted it; they got it; and they liked it."
