Fantastic results. We are constantly being fed the line that the march of the far right in politics is inevitable throughout Europe and the world. And yet we have Hungary, Serbia and Brazil.

I canโ€™t tell you how much it distresses me that journalism like this gets so little attention in this county. If I write about some culture war nonsense, itโ€™s gobbled up. But work like this which questions the very nature of our democracy - and is about life and death? Itโ€™s so often met with silence

Torture, terror and extrajudicial executions: the Dirty War in Northern Ireland and my search for truth For decades Iโ€™ve investigated collusion between British military intelligence and terrorists One question has always remained: given the crimes committed how can Britain call itself a democracy?

No sense of humour then

The poison of antisemitism has absolutely no place in our city, and certainly not in our schools. Reports of antisemitic incidents in schools in England have risen by 59% in just one year. This is appalling. This is so hypocritical my son was beaten for 'looking muslim' islamophonia is accepted.

Protests have spread to Turkey now too. They are sick of Israel and refuse to serve in the Turkish army to fight to defend Saudi Arabia, Israel or the USA.

Another good documentary exposing the rise of far-right extreamists in the UK. CW. Racial hatred, threatening speech, hate speech.

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]

Iโ€™d like to know WHEN the architects of this catastrophe will be held to account! Is there no accountability for rich/privileged ppl? Ppl died because the Tory gov failed the population. Workers died because they were not protected. NO WONDER ppl have lost faith in politics/the establishment

This is why I go on marches this is why the state of Israel is a racist rogue state. The people doing this are fascist .

The journalist and author Sarah Helm, wife of the UK governmentโ€™s national security advisor has been cleared of any illegality when she wrote on social media โ€œgod help us authors who support Palestine and Palestine Actionโ€. There was a 1 in 3,700 chance of this happening. Lucky Sarah.

These would be the same Security Services you evaded, in order to attend a Russian oligarch's party, would they Boris? The thing to remember about any Johnson statement is that the only thought that will have preceded it is "Will this make me look good?". That's all that matters to him... ๐Ÿคฎ

You know, the thing is, I had drafted this piece a month ago, and then never published it, because I thought maybe it was too mean.

Peter Jukes@peterjukes.bsky.social

Was that the same security services you dumped to visit โ€˜exโ€™ KGB colonel Alexander Lebedev and party in Umbria just after the Novichok Salisbury attack? Or the same security services whose advice you defied to put his son Evgeny in the House of Lords? Those security services?

Fascinating to watch people *still* fixate on whether Polanski should resign as Greens leader because of a by-election loss, after doing relatively well in what used to be a very safe Labour seat. On what basis? Farage has stood for parliament eight times.

This a million times. People of colour being dragged on to debate maniacs about imaginary labels & race science is an abomination. proper โ€˜how German are youโ€™ Nazi shit Note that people like me with white migrant parentage never asked to defend our identity Englishness. Is. A. Made. Up. Thing

Sathnam Sanghera@sathnam.bsky.social

Dear tv and radio producers. Thankyou for the invitation. But, no, I do not want to appear on your show to defend the idea that I am English, after 50 years of living and working here, because the increasingly feral right want to turn this into a "debate" and you cannot see how you're being played

Thats Racism and Colonialism 101, but hey when do the Colonised get free speech. Diane Abbott cannot talk about the hierarchy of racism but yet it is rammed down black muslim and brown peoples throats every day.

If @zackpolanski.bsky.social was a crap leader, would mainstream media want his resignation? Of course not. They want his resignation because he is a very good leader who is going to be a thorn in the side of Bully Burnham. And make it hard for him to adopt the rightwing policies he wants to.
