'Immigration doesn't bother me but it seems to bother everyone else' – Everyone.
This is what happens when the media runs away with Hard Right narratives.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning
Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

THE BREAKFAST CLUB was released 40 years ago this week. The story of five high school students in detention became a classic of the teen genre, as well as 1980s Hollywood in general. The tale behind any John Hughes film is pretty bizarre, some are just better at hiding it…

I’m trying to persuade my wife that The Terminator is the most romantic movie ever made. Kyle Reiss travels back in time, knowing he’ll have to face a Terminator and die protecting the mother of his child all for the love of a woman whose picture he has in the present.

Dentistry should be seen as a warning sign to the UK > look at what happens when the only way to get treatment is being rich. If you can't afford it, you can't go to the Dentist. This massively highlights the danger of private health"care" & shows why the NHS is so important!

Coincidentally, this kind of orchestrated disinformation campaign is exactly the kind of thing our petition is about! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...
Petition: Create a public consultation on freedom of speech and disinformation
We believe that lies, fraud, and media toxicity threaten our way of life. We think new mechanisms are needed to preserve confidence. How else can people know what to trust?
