I follow a lot of American politics, despite being British.

Why? It's because my wife resides in America, and because America has a huge influence over the rest of the world - especially the billionaires.

American politics therefore is extremely important, even though I am unable to vote.

Nah, I'm not talking specifically about English people but how England as a country is.

We don't have a local government much like the others. The party we, the English, vote for is the party that runs the UK government. England dominates and has control over the UK.

That's the problem.

Another angle from a CCTV camera was posted a few weeks or so ago.

Two ICE officers were standing around, while an ICE vehicle was following this individual walking down the street.

We could look at J6 to see MAGA assaulting Capitol police officers. They were pardoned.

Mike Johnson: "They berated a Capitol police officer, screamed at him. He was merely standing his post. It shows, again, their disdain for law enforcement, the Democrats, screaming, assaulting officers."

This is of a petite woman being arrested for jaywalking.

Not a 6 year old, and not because of her nationality.

We all fall victim to misinformation, but we should call it out when we know the facts. Let's not perpetuate the misinformation machine.

If they want to be part of and contribute to our society, we should help them to be able to do that.

That's why we should help them learn English and integrate. Help them help us.

I wish they were challenged with a simple question "What is our history?"

John Tells 💚 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 🏳️‍🌈 @johntells.bsky.social · 12h

Right. As it currently stands with the UK, Scotland should absolutely fight for independence.

What I said is a mere attempt at making the UK fair to all, with more independence given to each country. Kind of like the EU.

There is simply no equivalent, not even close, of this anywhere on the center or far left. There is no ‘both sides’ here, media.

"Together, the messages reveal a culture where racist, antisemitic and violent rhetoric circulate freely — and where the Trump-era loosening of political norms has made such talk feel less taboo among those positioning themselves as the party’s next leaders."

Can't call them fascists?

If you zoom in, there is a ~7mm long mark that resembles a scar. I haven't seen any other clear views of his ear in other photos to verify if it is a scar.

I don't believe the attempted assassination was fake, but it was an unfortunate day if you know what I mean.

Host a website outside of America, attach a "ransom" to each ICE goon, and use any obtained wealth to help the poor.

ICE are public officials. Their information should be public.

I believe this. England believes it is superior to Wales, Scotland and N. Ireland. We are the problem.

We can turn the tide and turn the UK into a true union where each country has an equal role in the government of the UK. England should not be dominating any other country besides England.

ICE agents interfered with—and even threatened to “shoot and arrest”—emergency personnel rescuing an injured protester last week in Portland.

The agent “pointed his finger at me in a threatening manner,” the driver recalled, “and began viciously yelling in my face.

The official government account for DHS appears to be run by far-right trolls deliberately trying to provoke a response by using a term openly associated with ethnic cleansing. They will attack anyone who points this out and express faux outrage at the suggestion. They know what they are doing.

Remigration Wikipedia Page.

Not to be confused with Return migration.
Remigration is an originally European far-right proposal of ethnic cleansing via the mass deportation of non-white immigrants and their descendants, sometimes including those born in Europe, to their place of racial ancestry.
It is popular especially within the Identitarian movement. Some proponents of remigration suggest excluding some persons with non-European background from such a mass deportation, based on a varyingly defined degree of assimilation into European culture.

You've repeated this multiple times. Clearly, the FBI are absolute horseshit if they cannot find where antifa's funding is coming from.

We all want to know who is funding antifa, and who is getting that money.
