Lefty European, happily woke. "Sporty", if that means enjoying any competitive endeavour from the comfort of my sofa.

Appalled by the violent scenes of police being attacked at the Tommy Robinson rally today. Those responsible should face the full force of the law.

Charlie Kirk was not a “free speech activist” and any outlet that tells you he was is lying to you. He wanted unlimited freedom for himself and as little as possible for the people he hated, ie anyone who wasn’t a white male conservative. His values were trash

The flag “debate” is simple. Is flying an England flag inherently racist? Obviously not. Are the people currently doing it en masse racist? Clearly yes.

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations
When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

Utter garbage. She was a prisoner, nothing political about it. Reasonable people can disagree on any given sentence but the facts are clear:
- she incited serious violence
- PM did exactly nothing
- she went to jail because of what SHE did: committing a crime + pleading guilty

I live in DC - the National Guard just hang out around the monuments; tourists take selfies with them like they’re statues, there are Humvees parked next to food trucks, and they’re guarding the Capitol like it’s the last beer in the fridge at a frat house. 🤷♀️

Reform UK and the Conservatives have called the acquittal of suspended Labour councillor Ricky Jones on charges of encouraging violent disorder after he called for far-right activists’ throats to be cut "two-tier justice" and called for government action.

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.
The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.
Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

Steve Baker calling himself “Brexit Hard Man” is the kind of wild delusional idiocy that defines the Brexit brand. Ridiculous Tory egos strutting around torching the place because they got totally carried away with their jingoistic ideology and forgot the country in their madness.
