I wonder whether the prominent people who turn up at ‘hotels’ housing asylum seekers with a camera crew & on a mission to enrage will reflect on their role in this hideous crime…
A Nazi-obsessed white supremacist who stabbed an asylum seeker in a terror attack has been jailed for attempted murder.
Callum Ulysses Parslow, 32, attacked the man in April last year at the Pear Tree Inn near Worcester in what he claimed was a “protest” against small boat crossings.

Sending solidarity and birthday wishes to Gaie Delap, a peaceful climate protester who is spending her 78th birthday behind bars – all because the private company responsible for fitting electronic tags couldn't find one the right size for her. Will keep pushing for her release.

Tips to keep democracy alive in 2025:
1. Be Brave. Avoid helpless/hopeless talk. Authoritarians want you to feel powerless because it makes their work easier. Courage, faith, and optimism are essential. Fascism feeds on cynicism and pessimism. Starve it.
