The far right will never fix anything. Ever. We shouldn’t need to learn that lesson again.

“It’s not that the remedies offered by Farage, Rupert Lowe, various fascists and some Conservatives are cruel and morally shameful, which they are, but that they are impractical and costly”

*Multiculturalism is popular
*Mass immigration has not led to social disintegration
*Nostalgia is increasingly weird
*Britain is incredibly safe

Heard an interesting anecdote today. Friend was up in Canada last weekend and, when entering via the Nexus line, there was a Tesla in front that got grilled for 15min. My friend breezed right through.

It would be *hilarious* if Canadian immigration officials were profiling Tesla drivers.

On Friday,3/14/25,Trump said: “Etched onto the walls of this building are the words English philosopher John Locke said: ‘Where law ends, tyranny begins' and I see that.”

We know he sees that. It's part of his plan. His lawlessness is his map to HIS tyranny.

We MUST stop him.

They have so much in common, after all.
The White House is hosting Conor McGregor today, who the Irish High Court ruled four months ago assaulted and raped a woman.

Press Secretary Karoline Levitt says the Trump Administration "couldn't think of a better guest to have on St Patrick's Day."
