All political tribes can be hypocritical but the right's current level of hypocrisy on free speech is deliberate. It's an assertion of power not a blindspot.

It seems unlikely that the richest men in the world are so worried about footing the bill for decent regulation of the online space that they’ve signed up pliant politicians to invent a non-existent ‘free speech crisis’. Until you remember just how greedy you have to be to become that rich…

Here's a fact for you all.
Prior to 2017 there was not a single documented case of any individual travelling by small boats across the English Channel to caim asylum in the UK.
Not ONE.
This current 'boats' crisis has been largely caused by Brexit.
But for some reason NOBODY is saying that.

I see Reform are playing the hurt victim again. Apparently they can say the most outrageous things about anyone including whipping up hate against a whole group of people on the basis of their immigration status but can’t bear to hear that their leader is a Putin apologists.

Twelve men have been charged with child sex offences. I’m sure all the ‘concerned parents’ will be out in force any time now. Unless there’s something… different about these perverts..?

Fascinating BBC story about Reform MP Sarah Pochin saying a local street is blighted by immigrations living in shared accommodation, only for locals to suggest this is bollocks. Political lesson: take on church wardens and sensible pensioners at your peril.

Zia Yusuf has only been working hard for 11 months and claims to be exhausted. The people he's going to be hounding in local councils have been attempting to cover multiple jobs over the past 14 years. They know exhaustion. Hopefully they won't be too exhausted to tell him to f* off. #r4today
