The best satire punches up, not down. To quote Terry Pratchett, "Satire is meant to ridicule power. If you are laughing at people who are hurting, it's not satire, it's bullying."

On this day in 1983, #Bauhaus released their fourth studio album, "Burning From The Inside". It peaked at No. 13 on the UK Albums Chart and the single, "She's In Parties", reached No. 26 in the UK Singles Chart.

I think a useful task for Prevent would be to infiltrate our media and find out why so many bright-eyed young journalists eager to speak truth to power end up as reactionary establishment shills after a few years. Now there's radicalisation.

Farage resigns his seat in Clacton forcing a by election which he ... er plans to stand in. Huge performative cost to the taxpayers to feather his ego. I hope it backfires spectacularly

I can’t help but think that news organisations, particularly the BBC, should’ve waited to find out the content of Nigel Farage’s speech before choosing to broadcast this nonsense, using an official Reform UK live feed.

Every year for the last 20 years there has been 'no money' so wages and Public Services get frozen and cut. But every year the rich get richer and the profits are record. Do you really not see what is happening? Why there is 'no money'.

Andy Burnham looks like he might cancel the NHS England contract with Palantir, they also have one worth 2.5x as much with the MoD. RT if you want them both out of the UK.

Health Insurance doesn't cover you. It doesn't even cover your children if they get sick. It takes a huge amount of your money in 'insurance', then bankrupts you when you get sick anyway. It's a con and it should be illegal. Ban Private Healthcare.

Just like there's wealth inequality, there's also ecological inequality. Rich people get to fly around in private jets, or start up businesses pumping toxin into the environment, but the rest of us have to use paper straws or pay higher road tax because we drive diesel cars.

Reminder to Colorado journalists: if you’re interviewing a winning candidate who usually claims that elections are rigged, ask them why this election was rigged in their favor.

Everything broken in Britain comes from Thatcher. Filthy rivers. Ripoff electricity. Landlords. Trillions in Oil/gas stolen. No Social Housing. All Thatcher's poison.

The multimillionaire Nigel Farage rails against climate action, while gliding from one air-conditioned building to another. He knows that he and his ilk will suffer least. But he is prepared to sacrifice everyone else to the demands of his fossil-fuelled funders. So much for "the man of the people".

Data breaches and hacks becoming more frequent mean it's the worst possible time for governments to force their citizens to age verify by giving sensitive personal data to 3rd party providers with wildly varying security standards. It's lazy, irresponsible, and dangerous.

Riddle me this, if billionaires love to create wealth for other people why do they ban unions, refuse to pay decent wages and never pay any tax? All of which create wealth for other people.

Nigel Farage is once again complaining that he is most abused MP ever. 2 MPs have been murdered David Amess in 2021 and Jo Cox in 2016. Nigel Farage is a disgrace and he needs to apologise and resign.

Every day they should be attacked, and every day they will scream, and every day your lives will get better. Then people will see all they are selling is poison to fulfil their own personal Greed.

People say Andy Burnham has an impossible task because he must keep the Billionaire Media and the Far Right happy. No he doesn't, in fact he should enrage them, there are far more people who hate the system and who are happy to see billionaires poorer and THEIR lives better.

That “small majority” is still bigger than the “majority” that voted to leave!! Brexit was ridiculously stupid and the fact we smashed everything up because of such a small vote difference in an ADVISORY referendum will never not make me angry.

9 years later not a single person has been put on trial for Grenfell. But they can lock up people who inconvenience a Genocide for 24 years because they are 'terrorists'. The UK is a sick place and Justice is only for the rich to use against the poor.

If Muslims or members of the Asian and Black community had set fire to white people’s homes with children running for their lives, do you think we would be discussing legitimate concerns or focussing on who radicalised them and ideological and contributing cultural factors?

Starmer accused Nigel Farage yesterday of “whipping up” division over his reaction to the murder of Henry Nowak. Words are not enough Mr Starmer. Farage’s comments should be referred to the police as an attempt to incite racial hatred.

Never Apologise, Never Explain is not the motto of the brave, the strong, the heroic or the holy. It's the motto of a cunt.

So that’s two of the “Raise the Colours” organisers now charged with violent crimes & a fifth of the 2024 race rioters with domestic abuse. Makes you wonder whether “innocent patriotism” & “protecting women & girls” are just covers for thuggish racism & misogyny?

Darcus Wolfe reposted

Just in case you’re feeling even vaguely optimistic about anything right now, please note that two UK political parties populated & led by profoundly racist people are currently being described as merely ‘right-wing’ in pretty much every corner of the UK media. This is how the worst stuff happens…

You spend millions every year so well paid MP's and Lord's can get subsidised alcohol at work. There are 27 alcohol serving taxpayer subsidised bars and restaurants in the UK. ALL of them in Westminster. It's time to make it 0. Like/RT if you agree.
