Look, I'm almost certainly going to piss loads of people off. For the simple reason that I'm nobody's wingnut.

Jenrick reminds me rather forcibly of Adolf Eichmann. In that he appears to be the same kind of bloodless, blank-faced bureaucrat bereft of some essential parts of the human emotional spectrum. The sort of man content to condemn people to death just to balance a ledger, and think it a job well done.

If Jenrick is the best representative that Reform can field to demonstrate they're a likeable honest party, then God help them. ##r4today

Stalinist campists and other far-left extremists have always had a taste for Jew-baiting. They don't need right-wing justification to indulge in that kind of bigotry. Again, extremists are toxic fuckheads.

This is one of the larger left-of-center Facebook pages, and I do feel like a few years ago, left-of-center people on social media with large audiences were not using terms like “goyslop”?

Having a total lack of empathy for others is the logical end-point of faith focusing only on a 'personal relationship with God' as emphasised by fundamentalist Protestantism. John fucking Calvin has a lot to answer for. I really hope he's roasting in the fires of the Hell he thought sinners went to.

“I told you once that I was searching for the nature of evil. I think I’ve come close to defining it: a lack of empathy.... Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.” — Dr. Gustave Gilbert, U.S. Military Chief Psychologist in the Nuremberg Trials, Nuremberg Diary

The consequence of right-wing media hate-factories and their political sockpuppets pouring filth into peoples' minds for at least 30 years. And anyone who doesn't Brexit turbocharged the process is either a liar, a f*ckwit or terminally naive.

This is fucked. Really bleak how entrenched this is becoming.

Extremists gonna extremist. Left-wing extremists are also incredibly poor at promoting beneficial left-wing policies to anyone outside of existing believers...

The dumbest people will see who the democratic nominee is in 2028 and choose to not vote for that person over a single issue even after this fucking clown show we dealing with right now

I'm against capital sentences on general principle, and very much against public executions and the DPRK's idea of multi-generational punishment. But, fuck me, Fat Donny and his fellow travellers are doing a good job of making me believe in exceptions to those red lines.

I would hope this man gets absolutely everything he deserves but I don’t see how we could fit it all in before the heat death of the universe

Another rotten bugger disgracing himself and the office he holds to be placed under RefUK 'disciplinary measures'... Translation: there's going to be another whitewash shortage very soon...

Sunder Katwala (sundersays)@sundersays.bsky.social

Another Reform councillor in South London called for the King to be decapitated for being a secret Muslim. Reform say they are taking disciplinary action against a small number of councillors who do not share their values. I believe both would be welcome in Restore www.itv.com/news/2026-10...

OK, there is something very, very weird going on in the press right now. It certainly appears, from the outside, as if certain people are being very much protected in a way that was not afforded to certain other people! Let's start with the facts around Lola Salem... 🧵1/

The head is rotting. The body will follow. Bob 'Adolf Eichmann' Jenprick is clearly on manoeuvres, possibly in cahoots with 'Aunty' Yusuf. He clearly wants RefUK's soiled crown. Though quite how he expects to get it I'm not sure, given that der Froggenführer owns it.

Reform Party UK Exposed@reformexposed.bsky.social

The head doesn’t know what the body is doing… Farage denies Reform would let troops shoot small boats after Jenrick’s ‘lethal force’ claim www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

US 'Preppers' have never really wanted to 'resist a tyrannical gubmint'. They just long for the day when they're free to shoot dead people they don't like with impunity.

Marlowe_UK@irishdreamer.bsky.social

So yesterday was fun. Had a run in with a 2A fuckwit boasting about his Guns, Ammo, Knives and Tins of Beans (apparently), readying for the collapse when other people take on Trump. His excuse for HIM not standing up to the “oppressive government” they dream of? Gas prices. Fucking Americans…

Champagne Fascism...

Chris@oakymoron.bsky.social

I am not a Tory but I find it quite hypocritical that Jenrick being so hypocritical calling her Kensington Kemi when they get their funding from billionaires overseas Perhaps Reform would be better called Offshore Reform Oysters and Champagne ….. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Nah, tell him he'll be heading up our diplomatic mission to Sol. It's our largest and most important astronomical partner, a key energy supplier. And it'll help him acclimatise for where he's going after he retires (from breathing)...

Activism is a magnet for various personality disorders. On the 'progressive' side, it appears to be untreated BPD cases and 'vulnerable'-type narcissists.

Rafferty@rafferty-bs.bsky.social

I finally got round to reading about 'the Lesbian bar' People with extreme politics nearly always have the terrible or broken personality first, that why they were attracted to it. It's also why they should be kept away from any position power or influence. Even if that power or influence is small

Conversely, the Tories used a horrifying distaff version of a time machine to drag the country back in time with Brexit. It is also believed by some to have been the same machine that brought one Farage, N to Earth from his cursed home dimension. Now Kemi wants to use it again. Behold...the TURDIS:

Since the Tories destroyed half our manufacturing industry in the 80's and half the car manufacturing with Brexit, Burnham would need a Tardis to resurrect British Leyland. Badenoch clearly lives in Thatcher tribute museum.

That substantial portions of the European and US Left struggle with the idea that it is possible to condemn criminal actions by the Israeli government while also condemning the vicious brutality of Hamas, Hezbollah and the Iranian regime continues to baffle me.

He literally set off a bomb in a UK street. If this had been the IRA Pierce would calling for them to be hung, drawn and quartered. This is domestic terrorism pure and simple. A bomb set off to terrorise with the aim of getting a government to change its policy. Literally a textbook definition.

For a long time I've heard rumours of Reform UK supporting Islamophobes who warn of dangers of Sharia law happily holidaying and buying flats in Dubai which runs under Sharia law If true, they should be forced to wear a T-shirt proclaiming 'I'm a far right hypocrite' meme via We Demand UK
