Honestly the complete lack of coverage on this Turning Point UK story is going to do me in. Compare Israel to South Africa and The Lads will go through your bins, but have links to senior right-wing politicians and brag about being able to hire hitmen? Nada. Not interested. Budget's soon y'know

It’s amazing that the Houthis just target Saudi Arabia for *no reason at all* when Riyadh only ever wanted to help Yemen. There’s definitely a US-led 80 nation coaliton on the way to fight them any minute now. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/27/o...

yeah yeah yeah but Zionism is not racism

UN report: "The Israeli authorities and forces have committed the crimes against humanity of extermination, torture, rape and other forms of sexual violence in the West Bank, as well as persecution based on intersecting discriminatory grounds, with nationality, race and ethnicity at its core."

So... That Turning Point/UVF documentary with all the people admitting to actual crimes is going nowhere except the memory hole then, huh? Damn, you'd think that'd be at least one or two real journalists in the country capable of feeling shame about what that says about the industry.

Suck ass, The Economist

I note that everywhere the right wins now, they push for some mix of wars of aggression, looting and destroying the public realm, impunity for corruption and war crimes, roasting the planet with hydrocarbons, deforestation, destroying public education, ethnic supremacy and McCarthyist crackdowns.

This is not a "you didn't KNOW?" post because I truly envy and respect anyone unaware of Linehan's output BUT he's been EXTREMELY racist for years now. Attacking black actors on his wife's show Motherland as diversity hires; podcast screeds about muslims in Ireland; delighting in Palestinian deaths.

Lula: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. A crime in the digital world must be treated the same as a crime in the real world. We cannot have monstrous companies earning millions... not paying taxes... wanting to steer elections."

The British Board of Deputies opposed sanctions being placed on West Bank Settlements - settlements the UN has declared illegal for decades! You cannot appease them, because they don't think Palestinians deserve to live as human beings.

Brazil going the way of South Korea. Basically around the world women are desperately trying to keep power out of the hands of incredibly stupid fascistic grifters while men keep trying to hand it over. Men are an embarrassing cringe gender.

I do think “there are masked men marching through high streets screaming about repatriation and white supremacy” is something the government needs a much stronger public voice against — it might be (?) that Prevent is all over it but there should still be a loud and consistent official attack line.

The report, 'The Need for Speed', urged the MoD to cut 'paperwork', relax scrutiny of new deals and scale existing contracts without fresh competitions. At the same time, the MoD handed Palantir a £240m follow-on contract – without competition.

Now obviously this is an extremely intense form of McCarthyism, but let’s not lose sight of the fact that these people are primarily just horrible, very right wing psychos.

Again, it’s important to understand that the transgender terror did not arise organically from the public. It was imposed from above, by the world’s most hateful and poisonous media class.

Police are also confiscating goggles and saline solution. Protecting yourself from police violence is now officially verboten. bsky.app/profile/step...

Like, without any sarcasm, it is impossible to know why left Sensibles think stating that Israel *is* doing a genocide but that criticising the ideology driving that genocide shouldn't be accurately described as racist because they will not explain it.

Honestly very gross and disappointing from Brad. But this is the sort of cognitive dissonance that comes with "liberal Zionism" - you claim to be outraged by ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing, then you weep for those carrying it out.

We've uncovered that this group of people, funded by a foreign country, are, in conjunction with previously convicted terrorist groups, organising killings, paid protest agitation, and masked rioting across the UK. But they do have some legitimate concerns, so,

You have to laugh at the sheer insanity of Turning Point UK being found to be organising literal contract killings and paid agitation at protests up and down the country and it barely even raises a flicker across the press. If that isn't 'terrorism' on some level I don't really know what is

Everything Is America now.

Not only is Israel an Apartheid state, but it’s an Apartheid state that committed genocide and is led by politicians who openly advocate ethnic cleansing, including of Palestinian citizens of Israel. Israel is so far worse than ‘just’ an Apartheid state.

Nobody asked any Palestinians what they think, because our politicians and media outlets very plainly do not regard Palestinians as people. They would not have behaved the way they have for many years now, if they view Palestinians as proper human beings with rights, rather than as orcs or zombies.

lol.

LGBTQ+ people need to watch this. Turning Point UK 'protests' eg the anti-drag mobilisations at Honor Oak in south London - these need looked at again. TPUK were involved in deals to hire paramilitary groups and paid for agitators and violence for political purposes. Tenconi linked too. [1/2]

Oriel College, Oxford University where Lola Salem was employed until her charges for possession of CSAM this year, is hosting a talk with self-described 'race realist' and eugenicist, Nathan Cofnas in November.

In case anyone else wonders, this isn’t some bananas columnist, it’s the official Times editorial view. The official, racist, xenophobic, hatred-inciting, Times editorial view.

Britain’s top-selling far right politics magazine here telling its audience that broadcasters, officials and political leaders are plotting to kill them and their loved ones, and are concealing their intentions. What conclusions does Dougie here want readers to draw about What Must Now Be Done?

It’s forgotten now, but she had a good bash at “actually the theory of evolution is an elitist insult to hard working religious people” in the late 2000s, on her own website. Even her own followers weren’t having that though, so she dropped it amid gales of laughter.

This was three months ago. Trump says "jump!", Burnham says "How high sir?!"

Today's decision by Labour to approve new drilling in the North Sea is climate vandalism. It's a betrayal of all of our futures, and Labour has abandoned all credibility in the fight against climate change. This is a victory for Shell over the people. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cw...

There are a lot of authors signing letters who would not pass the Taleb test. Rather than putting their heads above the parapet they are being swept up with the crowd.

Somebody (not me) should write about the Taleb test.

I think if you're actually genuinely concerned about antisemitism as a threat to Jewish safety, it is now long overdue that you start taking a stand against this absolute fucking horseshit that makes it look like a politically motivated joke by a bunch of headbangers.

I certainly see how this works in Britain, where we are now deep into the second “fuck everything, we must utterly destroy these hippie scum, regardless of the consequences” all-media screaming freak out in ten years.

Worrying stuff: imagine if Britain elected a government that had promised Sensible Common Sense and ferocious resistance to extremist politics, then tried to impose even more scything benefit cuts and launched huge show-offy crackdowns on various minority groups

But how can this kind of thing happen and keep happening in an industry where free thinking and inquiry is the name of the game? Nobody tells them what to write!

When have they been in power and *not* engaged in draconian racism against migrants and foreigners? They were at it near continuously for their tenure once the gwat kicked off. If you can stomach indefinite detention and extraordinary rendition you can stomach anything.
