Via 'Everyone Hates Elon' campaign today: An advertising van displaying a photo of Donald Trump with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein has been "confiscated by police after travelling around Windsor as the President stays with the King at Windsor Castle." (Latter pics are video stills - vid was too big)

The owner of one of the biggest platforms calling for violence on the streets of the UK is absolutely the limit of what is acceptable, that platform should be removed from the UK until certain conditions are met as legislated by our government. The sooner the better for all of us.

This happened in full view of Sky News cameras and a bunch of police just standing there. Why is THIS not on the news all day? Why don't we show people what these thugs are turning the country into? I could only find it on the far right TikTok page that proudly boasted about the incident. SHARE!

If you think this is about individual members of the judiciary as opposed to a graphic representation of the use of the law by politicians to batter protest then you are being far too literal.

I wouldn’t have thought many Labour MPs came into politics to strip the rights of torture survivors to be reunited with the spouses & children.
They need to take a long hard look in the mirror & ask whether Starmer, Cooper & Reeves are really the leadership their careers should be remembered with.

Independence from this lot please.
Douglas Carswell has skirted the line and now he's crossed it.
This is disgusting racism from a former MP who now demonstrates who and what he is.

Some more fun. Based on UK ONS data, this is what Scotland "lost" by not becoming independent in 2014 - purely from not receiving ALL the benefit of two of its key sectors.
By the end of 2023 (latest data) it stood at around £100bn. And its still rising.

The threat to our society is not from asylum seekers in small boats. It’s from politicians and media cynically whipping up fear and prejudice, labelling them all as criminals, inciting hatred against people for where and what they’ve fled from.
It must stop. For all our sakes. It’s deeply sinister.

Great to see this, at last we might see an end to international double standards and some concrete action against the horrors being committed in Palestine by Israel. And just maybe a Two state solution.
