“This is the latest — and the largest — sign that a New World Order is fast developing, one that doesn’t include the US.”

Media and authorities can call this a protest all they want to mask the security failure that just took place, but this is a foreign entity testing and disrupting key UK trade routes. Similar operations have been seen in other countries.
A Russian & Israeli-funded disruption operation sees black-clad right-wing thugs in balaclavas block UK’s largest international ferry port, which handles roughly one-third of UK–EU trade. An estimated £16.4 million worth of trade per hour. Promoted by IDF linked Tommy Robinson.

So it looks like Reform policy chief James Orr has straight up broken the law here. It's also exactly the same crime Farage has been accused of re: George Cottrell donating via his mother and which Parliament is currently investigating.
Undercover footage verified by Channel 4 News reveals a secret plot by senior Reform UK figures to break the law on party donations. A leading legal expert is now calling for a criminal investigation. 🔗 Read the exclusive story on Substack:

This is a first rate investigation of Reform’s dodgy dealings by C4 News. Would be good if other broadcasters did similar.

Not always the biggest fan of the BBC but American institutions please take note - Democracy Dies in Darkness
Trump poked the beehive. BBC lawyers are moving to subpoena Don Jr., Ivanka, and Jared Kushner in Trump’s $10B defamation case, arguing the trio can speak to what Trump really intended when he addressed the crowd at the Ellipse on Jan. 6, 2021. They were there.

Can't think of a thing that will radicalize a generation faster than "you've gotta let that old man in the corner over there see what's inside those pants before you play Kindergarten volleyball."
An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

It's obviously deeply worrying that a hostile regime has the capability to hack into the computer systems of our water companies. They might leak billions of gallons of water, cut supplies for no reason, even dump shit in our rivers and beaches...wait, what? www.wired.com/story/securi...

Another BinHead v Hissy-Fit Farage Poll. Today the Mirror. I’ve voted, if only because it will piss Farage off to see BinHead ahead …but don’t know the result. However, whilst Farage (unsurprisingly) is 6-1 in the betting office the odds are shortening. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

🧵I’d rather spend my weekends doing something else than post about Nigel Farage’s murky finances, but his behaviour poses such a threat to our democratic norms that I wanted to flag a number of points in the public interest.

Well it's symptomatic/symbolic isn't it?
BlueSky is amazing, isn’t it. I love it when you’re talking about some horrific new bit of utterly black-hearted, brutally cynical antidemocratic malfeasance and then someone will chime and say “Also they’ve still got a Twitter account”, like that’s the worst part.
