Interesting how this person is described as a "far-right activist" by all except the BBC and GBNews, who describe him as an "anti-migrant protestor".

YouGov makes the point that there’s an efficiency in the left bloc vote which isn’t there for the right. Left parties win 60% of seats with 52% of the vote while the right wins 40% of seats off 47% of votes. And that’s without tactical voting.

"Every time we've had these squeezes on welfare recipients, what we've actually seen.. is an increase in child poverty & in work poverty.." Ash Sarkar on #bbcqt. Spot on.

Ash Sarkar: “There are mobs of men styling themselves as paramilitaries & you’ve had more to say about refugees than racism…This is small penis behaviour. You guys are just saying well, it’s about the small boats - well maybe it’s about the racism & the thuggery” #bbcqt

"I don't think they've got anything to do with patriotism... I think that this is small penis behaviour, quite frankly" Ash Sarkar on the far right racist thugs #bbcqt

On #bbcqt Ash Sarkar puts Labour minister Jonathan Reynolds and Tory shadow minister to shame on the issue of intimidating far-right thugs on our streets... "I don't think they've got anything to do with patriotism... I think that this is small penis behaviour, quite frankly" 😻

Josh Babarinde, "The Conservatives cut student grants, cut youth centres, cut access to work, live and play in Europe, now they want to cut their benefits" "They way you help young people into employment isn't by punishing them, its by investing in them" #BBCQT

BBC question time - Andrew Neil calls out the “neo-Nazis in black uniforms” and masks: He tells a dumbstruck Helen Whately that Labour is dealing well with irregular migration by reducing numbers to levels the Tories promised under David Cameron - but never delivered.

Labour's deputy leader is saying there is no "switch" to stop small boats. So accurately reporting how the numbers have been affected by current government efforts seems a pretty major part of the story? Maybe?

A BBC Question Time panelist has called for the British public to "love our lifeboats" after RNLI crews were abused by protesters.

Thanks to the "legitimate concerns" paradigm, we have a national consensus that migrants (you know which specific ones) are a problem. More migrants = bad, fewer migrants = good. In that context, "anti-migrant protestor" isn't even neutral language to describe this fascist thug. It is *positive*.

Justin sounding very sad and #r4today having a proper meltdown about the boats today… Maybe they should report on how Justin’s precious Brexit has made this possible… and how immigration is much harder to control when you huff out of shared frameworks and agreements.

These guys are protesting about 'groups of fighting age men threatening local areas'. You've got to admire the irony.

They don’t mention the long spells of consecutive days with no crossings. Most odd…

Can anyone explain to me why this article doesn't mention anywhere that small boat crossings are down 42% from last year? That doesn't mean it's not an issue 781 people arrived in one day. But it seems like the sort of context a reputable news source might mention www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

BBC 6pm news at it again. The same as yesterday, an item on boat crossings. The drip, drip, drip effect is how a political narrative is delivered and we all know who benefits from this, politically.

BBC small boats reporting: Irrelevant number making big headline stating 2026 record www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Spot the difference: BBC 6pm News cites Daniel Thomas as an ‘anti-migrant activist’; BBC South East News goes with ‘far-right activist.’ #framing

The BBC simply doesn't understand that as political powers have risen on the far right reporting on them as if they are the SDP arranging a jumble sale is not balanced.

BBC & Sky confirm the charges. This had been shared by Tommy Robinson & other sources that the crowd (of a few hundred) are likely to follow online www.bbc.com/news/article...

Daniel Thomas/Tommo has been charged, with a single count of criminal damage, plus a fresh charge under Regulation of Investigatory Powers for failing to provide his phone pin. He will appear in Magistrates' Court tomorrow.

"The early days of Andy Burnham’s government have made Starmer’s look positively energetic: a PM who usually loves nothing more than being on camera has studiously avoided saying a word as he loses control of law and order in Britain, and his home secretary seems determined to appease the thugs."

I really don't see how ministers can stand idly by and ignore this challenge to the rule of law.

These groups need to be proscribed immediately. They are a threat to public order and the rule of law.

Basingstoke police station.

The theory was that a large crowd outside the police station would deter the police from pressing charges, so that Mr Thomas would be released tonight at 11pm. This has not worked, as the police have charged Mr Thomas, remanding him to appear in court in the morning

Vance's net favorability remains consistently negative by double-digits among surveyed Americans.

The GOOD news is Vance is deeply unpopular with the majority of Americans. So the billionaires' "chosen one" faces an uphill battle to be nominated.

Going to create an organisation called RNLI action that goes out and defends the RNLI on the high seas and get myself prescribed as a terrorist organisation.

I shot the security guard dead and then held everyone at gunpoint while robbing their life savings all the while yelling STOP THE BOATS and PROTECT WOMEN WHO AREN'T MY WIFE. everyone cheered

who's up for robbing banks while shouting "stop the boats" so no-one arrests us?

So, Banksy bought a used yacht, repaired it and retrofitted it to serve as a rescue boat to save migrants in the central Mediterranean. The whole project cost the artist $860,000. Since 2020, the boat has saved more than 3,800 people. londondaily.com/banksy-funds...

Have the BBC forgotten how to do proper reporting? The arrest isn't "over video", it's over the dinghy slashing.

Interesting @news.abc.net.au can report this properly www.abc.net.au/news/2026-09... but BBC news is not able to even though the text of the BBC article calls Yaxley-Lennon far right Thomas apparently isn't. Someone make it make sense.

The fact that the BBC studiously ignored this when it first occurred and only mentioned it retrospectively is extremely alarming. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

The BBC has long given up even pretending to be interested in who these people are, why they are coming or how they might feel, in favour of acting as a kind of shop window for the parties to display their wares of violence and cruelty

Burnham replied "I think that legislation dates to an era where football was very different" Has it occurred to Burnham that removing alcohol from matches may have played a significant part in the change & made football a more family friendly (& woman friendly) sport? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It's characteristic of the Brexit debate that, after a decade of arguing about it, the leader of the Conservative Party doesn't appear to know what the single market is & can't be arsed to find out. She seems to have a vague idea it's "a free trade area" that got mixed up with "all the other stuff".

"Shabana Mahmood is the cabinet minister responsible for the UK’s policing and its national security – as well, of course, as managing the country’s borders…I include this reminder because Mahmood increasingly seems to be operating under the assumption that her job only concerns the latter."
