It takes time for people to get that we’re in the fascist timeline.
Fascism is rooted in colonialism. We’ve seen it in Palestine & the imperial boomerang is bringing it to Europe.
I spoke to BBC five live listeners to point out the danger, & that’s why @ukstoptrump.bsky.social is mobilising ✊🏽.

I was delighted to speak to Alan Finlayson for the @lrb.co.uk's On Politics. We take on the digital right (and online left), the champions of inegalitarianism, print and social democracy, Farage as influencer and... whether the internet is just right-wing.
