You mean: where might Labour politicians and staff have got the idea they could achieve incredible personal success, just by screaming abuse at their own core supporters while regularly falling over and pretending to be injured? Gee whizz, it sure is a mystery why they’d have formed that impression.

It’s not him being a teenage Nazi that’s the issue here: it’s that he’s still one now, he has been throughout and his politics are those of the racist, fascist far right. The difference between him and e.g. Griffin is that Farage knows where the line is and that he should push at it, not cross it.

Everyone involved knows Mel is a virulently racist fascist lunatic with horrendous views on the use of massive, murderous violence against civilians. But there she still is on Sky News, because her crackpottery is well within acceptable opinion, for our political/media class.

James is chin-stroking about the end of democracy here, and I’d point out that the key issue for almost two decades has been a political/media class increasingly making it very clear they will choose actual Norsefire fascism over any kind of backsliding on Thatcherism, if pushed archive.ph/qBzgr

I agree, and in particular I would look at things like: It could not possibly have been more obvious that Johnson’s “levelling up” plan was back-of-a-fag-packet bullshit and an insult to the public, the second it was announced. Was it received and explained as a pitch black fraud and an affront?

The period where the IDF were firing machine guns at people trying to pick up bags of flour was one of the most despicable things I’ve seen in this country: every day for weeks, people behaving like something confusing and hard to understand was happening, because they couldn’t say what they saw.

Let me explain what’s happening here: Lewis knows very well this entire incident was a disgusting, wildly irresponsible fraud against the public by people trying to distract from their complicity in genocide. Nandy - a truly abysmal piece of shit - will deny this and keep lying about it, forever.

If you’d said last week that the cops advising bans on notoriously violent and riotous away football fans was either a racist insult or an official conspiracy with Islamists, people would’ve thought you were a fucking crackpot. And they would’ve been 100% correct.

The government continuing to incite fear and hatred against members of the public here, hand in hand with our horrible, poisonous media outlets, both to evade responsibility for their own conduct and to fill space that might otherwise be stories about how unpopular they are and how much they suck.
Concerned about what the peace means for Palestinians? Concerned whether there will be peace at all? Concerned about accountability for the Israeli genocide? Shabana Mahmood has this to say to you.

The fact that the Labour Right are the most horrible people in politics is about to become common knowledge, which is much better than it not being, but this will still be used to distract from the fact that the basic problem with them is being very right wing, rather than them being rude.

It’s grimly amusing to see the British press anxiously handwringing on the topic of “Somehow never noticing the appalling behaviour of wealthy and powerful people who can help your career, if doing so would negatively impact your ability to network and accumulate coins” and “Peter Mandelson”.

It's physically unsafe for people like me to go into the centre of our home city this Saturday on account of the colour of our skin.
Most politicians are either failing to stand up to this or actively contributing to the situation.
We don't owe any of those politicians our votes. Not one of them.

Politics has been a slow-motion car crash since well before the financial crisis because our leaders have no ideas except “everything must stay exactly like this, with us in charge, at any cost”, and they have achieved it by working with the press on increasingly extreme projects like this one.

At some point the rubber of ‘legitimate concerns’ will meet the road: That said concerns largely concern the terror of seeing non-white people existing in public. And at that point, the threads Labour have woven to bind these people to their party will transform into the noose around their necks.
As we walked through the car park to the beach we saw the coach and thought nothing of it. Apparently it was a group of Sikhs having a fun dayout at the seaside. They played on the beach + had a picnic. Some rascist woman filmed them, including all of the children and claimed on tik tok that Haven

I need people who work in the media and think they're the good guys to really fucking sit with the idea that the mainstream pubic broadcaster thinks its job is to provide "balance" between pro camps and anti camps positions, and *can't even do that because everyone is too pro camps*!
Call from a producer this morning:
Zoe please help - we thought the panel on our show was balanced, but it turns out they’re both pro-mass detention camps for asylum seekers. Would you come on to be the anti-detention camp voice?
We are in a really bad place, friends, I am telling you.
