You know what, Robinson? Jesus would have stood on a beach handing out hot tea and warm blankets to refugees

The far-right in Britain is trying to hijack Christianity as Christmas approaches. It should offend every person of faith. Jesus spread love, not hate

The normalisation of extremism in British politics and parts of the media is shocking - as is the complacent response of so many supposed anti-racists.

Starmer says the SNP insults Scotland by planning for independence. The only one insulting Scotland is Starmer with his refusal to even say how another referendum will be held. If this continues the SNP should consider withdrawing its MPs from Westminster

A Trump shill on Newsnight claims there are more people in prison in UK jails for freedom of speech violations than in Putin’s Russia.

These people are radicalised, insane, plain stupid or some combination of all three.
