The reform party nativity scene.

No unmarried mothers. No Middle Eastern people. No refugees. No people seeking emergency accommodation.

The BBC are constantly fawning over Farage's every move despite Reform only having four MPs. Our national broadcaster should reflect the whole country, not just one man’s ego.

Tonight, my 77-year-old mother ripped this flag off a dual carriageway bridge near Birmingham. Note the swastika. My dad's dad died fighting the Nazis.
A St George flag, on which is written the words "Stop the Muslim Paki boats" and "Get out of our cuntry oi oi". In the centre of the flag, a swastika is drawn.

Rush hour in North Yorkshire.
The road is full of pheasants adopting the old movie tactic of trying to avoid being hit by a car by running down the middle of the road and making no attempt to get out of the way. Pheasants are famously not very bright.

A Bank Holiday in Yorkshire without rain? Seems wrong somehow but I’ll take it.

Lucy Connolly had thought her tweet very funny (paragraph 9), and when she realised she was in trouble, said she would "play the mental health card" (paragraph 10).
www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/u...
8. By the time you were arrested on the 6th August of this year you had deleted the account. From enquiries made by that police they were able to establish that the individual tweet the subject of this offence remined available for at least three and a half hours. 9. The police were however able to trace other tweets that you had sent both before and after the 29th July which included further racist remarks. On the 5th August, the day before you were arrested you sent a WhatsApp message which included "..raging tweet about burning down hotels has bit me on the arse lol "which is commonly understood to mean laugh out loud. 10. You also messaged that if enquiries of you were made, you would deny you were responsible for the message and if you were arrested you would "play the mental health card ". 11. I have to apply the Sentencing Council Guidelines for this offence. 12. In relation to your culpability this is clearly a category A case - as both prosecution and your counsel agree, because you intended to incite serious violence. 13. In relation to harm it is again agreed, correctly, that what you did encouraged activity which threatened or endangered life and therefore falls within category 1. There is also further relevant factor in relation to harm in that you sought, and achieved, widespread dissemination of your statement by posting it on social media. 14. The starting point after a trial is therefore one of 3 years imprisonment. 15. There is a further significant aggravating factor namely, the timing of the publication when there was obviously a particularly sensitive social climate. It would be difficult to think of a more sensitive such time than during the evening of the 29th July of this year. 16. All of those factors would require a significant increase in the sentence beyond the starting point. Lucie @LJCJ83 Follow Mass deportation now, set fire to all the fucking hotels full of the bastards for all I care, while you're at it take the treacherous government & politicians with them. I feel physically sick knowing what these families will now have to endure. If that makes me racist, so be it 20:30 29/07/2024 From Earth 310K Views 940 Reposts 58 Quotes 8.8K Likes 113 Bookmarks 口

Holocaust denial is a tool of ideological hatred, spread today primarily through social media. Thanks to the “Stop Denial” tool, everyone can now take meaningful action to defend the truth and the dignity of victims of Auschwitz.

Having started the week with US paratroopers in 1944 England, it’s now back to 1914 Diksmuide and the tale of Elsie and Marie.

🚨THIS WEEK TO SUBS🚨 Imagine fighting & dying for your country—only to be shunned afterward. 😡 Some veterans' groups refused to accept conscripts, treating them as lesser soldiers. @timlynch656.bsky.social exposes the injustice!

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...
No second state visit for Trump
Unbelievable. Keir Starmer has handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and should not go ahead.  This is the...

I can provide, as a pro bono service to humanity, a fine list of ways to mess up a Trump visit, both through local government pettifoggery and civil disobedience

If the Trump state visit happens – and it now shouldn't – it'll be dogged by massive protests. Heck, even I would join it. A security nightmare for the Met.
