No-one risks their life in the Channel in a flimsy boat unless they have no choice.
Labour’s cruel move to block refugees from citizenship — bypassing Parliament — shows a dangerous rightward shift, ditching human rights & international law.
It must be reversed.

I think we've reached the point where it's reasonable to call anyone supporting the Trump administration a quisling and an appeaser and we should reserve nothing but contempt and disdain for them.

A year ago, when Suella Braverman wrongly said grooming is mainly undertaken by Pakistanis there was at least some outrage, some pushback, some degree of people standing up & reacting.
Now it is totally normal for politicians across the right to say it. www.theguardian.com/society/2023...

I really believe the hatred towards trans people is fueled by a secret fear of being attracted to them. No transphobes really care about women's sports or what happens to women in bathrooms. If they did, they'd have spoken up sooner. They don't want to accidentally fancy a sexy transwoman or man.

Time zones are fascinating. Australia is already in 2025, Europe is still 2024, and the USA is currently in 1939.

This Boxing Day, the Kent Hounds have instructed people to not take photos of the hounds working.

If the powers that be and the bootlickers could bring the same level of disgust towards the killing of a CEO (barron) as they do to policies killing the masses then maybe y'all wouldn't need to worry about a modern day french revolution taking place 🐸☕

Blaming foreigners for what is wrong in your own country is an old trick of populists and fascists to silence the opposition.
Göring did it, Farage did it, and now Trump and his ilk are doing it - and lots of people are falling for this nonsense spread by media that are owned by sick billionaires.

Remember: fascism thrives on apathy.
The autocrats want you to tune out. They want to overwhelm you. They want you to give up.
Don’t give them want they want.
Stay in this fight. Remain vigilant. And let’s keep building.

I cannot imagine how stressful it must be to be in a band where any time you film a music video, your famous frontman could turn up looking like his faction just lost a fight to Ming The Merciless but is empowered after meeting Flash Gordon and wrote a song about it
