This debate over Stephen Yaxley Lenon finding Jesus is hilarious. The Klan were Christians. The Nazis were Christians. Are we having conversations about whether to tolerate them? Hand wringing stupidity is dragging us to hell, not these right wing grifters

This is college in the United States. Video from inside a Brown University building shows the moment that police found a group of students who were sheltering after the shooting on campus. This isn't freedom.

I think my most Online Moment was when I posted this photo on Twitter with the caption "Oh bless, Lorraine's down in Africa", and within a dozen pun-appreciating re-tweets people in the comments were lecturing each other about colonialism and the white saviour complex.

Interesting. I was told I would be completely discredited when the evidence comes out.

This happened last night and I hadn't heard about it until this post, so went to the BBC News homepage. You have to go all the way down the page, below recipes for 30 minute meals, and you find it as a text link in 'politics'.

26 Police Officers were injured at today's riots but only 9 people were arrested.

Compare that with the peaceful Palestine Action protest where 0 Police Officers were injured but nearly 900 people were arrested.

The Government has got Law Enforcement ridiculously wrong.

Trump doesn't seem to see that some people are still immune to his threats.

Jack White criticized Trump's Oval Office decor. The White House then called White a "washed-up, has-been loser... masquerading as a real artist." And White, undeterred, posted an absolutely blistering takedown in response.

Trump’s base is fracturing, and Reform UK should be worried.

Because when movements are built on outrage, conspiracy and fiction, the second they can’t deliver, the crowd turns.

And there are no refunds in cult politics.

Nigel Farage has released ReformUK’s “manifesto” via the Daily Mail, and it’s every bit as unhinged and unserious as you’d expect.
Let’s break it down—with facts.

The Greens now have nearly 200 more councillors than Reform.

This is not something you'd be likely to guess from all the copiously salivating media coverage of Farage & his crew of billionaire-backed far-right chancers.
Another record year for the Green Party 👏
859 Councillors on 170 Councils in England & Wales
