Becky looked after her mum 24 hours a day by the end. After she had died, Becky put the house on the market for £300,000.

So why did Andrew Milne - who had bought the freehold for £400 - try to take it for nothing?

Without asylum:

Marks and Spencer wouldn't exist

Queen would have been without a front man

The other queen wouldn't have had a husband

Judith Kerr would never have written The Tiger Who Came to Tea

And thousands of less famous people wouldn't have been teachers, politicians, neighbours, etc

White school boy stabs another - silence from Lowe et al ditto teacher paedophiles.

But if there is a hint of a crime by a brown or black skin person they want the Death Penalty 🤔

It’s almost as if they might just be racists

Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...
DNA scientist James Watson has a remarkably long history of sexist, racist public comments
“People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,” he said in 2003. “I think it would be great.”

So ask yourself...

Why the concern for women only when the perpetrator is a migrant?

A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK...

78% are murdered by a partner/ex

Yet not once have I heard Reform talk about this

Not once have I heard them back measures to protect women’s safety

In fact, they voted against them...

Given the party's refusal to act on Pochin's brazen racism, it should be as socially unacceptable to vote for Reform as it was in the early 2000s to vote for the BNP.

And we should be prepared to say this to people's faces.

I am so tired of 24 hour news about small boats. I simply don’t care how many migrants arrive in the UK any more. No matter how many, they’ll never be as big a threat to British values, our way of life, or indeed women‘s safety, as the bigots who make yelling about migrants their entire personality.

Sometimes you have to just gasp in horror.

It's not that she just ignores her own family history. It's that she understands it, has discussed it with her actual refugee grandfather, & still thinks he's not just wrong, but "nuts", & her vile exclusionary racism is good.

Completely conscious evil.

Apropos of nothing, I really do think UK journalists and politicians need some reminding that mass deportation of LEGAL immigrants, particularly those with permanent status, is far more extreme than even Trump's America and would basically place Britain completely on its own among democracies.

It seems pointless to fact check someone saying "curry isn't proper British food like fish and chips", just like it's futile to correct someone saying "there are no pronouns in the Bible". They haven't made a mistake. What they're saying is, "Britain is a white country".

In latest Nick Robinson pod, Claire Coutinho sets out why her love of maths and data convinced her to call for abandoning climate change act, net zero targets and chase more fossil fuels extraction.

Curious, I’ve been using AI to examine these claims …

"me and my friends like reading nazi posts"
I see endless posts excoriating legacy media and institutional actors for staying on Twitter. They don't fully migrate because bluesky is viewed as too much of an echo chamber. It will never be a viable mainstream competitor so long as it only houses an insular slice of the body politic.
This site would actually be better if it had more voices from across the political spectrum, and efforts to push out right wing accounts are only entrenching Twitter/X's dominant position in the political discourse.

@joemammy.bsky.social - not a scammer, but a MAGA troll who opened the profile 8hrs ago.
Just LOVES to use the word "libtard" and calls everyone who isn't a MAGAT a commie.
You might want to report individual posts for trolling - boot the MAGA scum back to @X where they belong.
