“It’s not that you can’t say what you want, you can. It’s freedom from consequence. As long as laws for racially-motived offences are still in place, the racists go out of their way to say they’re not racist, because the law still works and that is their problem.” - Mark on @mrjamesob.bsky.social

They already are really. A surge in Green and LD is always welcome. PR makes for a healthier government.

First class politicking.

Love this. The two party system deserves to be put to sleep. It does not represent the diversity of the UK.

Extraordinary. The Greens are ahead of Labour in polls. Without @zackpolanski.bsky.social being given hours of airtime per week on a propaganda channel. Without the Daily Mail repeatedly calling for him to be the next PM. Without backing from the world’s richest men & the platforms they own….

Incredible interview on @mrjamesob.bsky.social about Paul Marshall.
So his son, who played with Mumford and Sons got cancelled for his crappy views and Marshall has become a cheerleader for the Far Right.
Vying to be the next Murdoch it seems.

Why would Europeans who oppose migration be migrating to the US?

This is a coordinated and strategic move by Labour. Hopefully, it will pay off.

European Movement UK @europeanmovement.co.uk · 20h

After avoiding the subject for so long, in just one week three senior Government ministers have confirmed how damaging Brexit has been to our economy.

Government finally confronts Brexit damage

We're the UK's largest pro-European movement. Our goal is to reverse the calamity of Brexit and restore relations with our European neighbours.

HE IS A LIAR.
HE IS A PEDOPHILE.
HE IS RAPIST.
HE IS A FELON.
HE IS POTUS.

Genuine journalism. Absolutely sick and tired of people I admire, (yes, looking at you @mrjamesob.bsky.social) reporting anything that comes from Trump or his cult as worthy of our trust or belief.

Phillips OBrien @phillipspobrien.bsky.social · 20h

Indeed, repeating any White House claim that it is about to really help Ukraine or punish Russia is foolish. Cant people see that for months the White House has been trying to manipulate public opinion on this issue?

My daily challenge is to go on Mail Online, find a contentious story and make an inflammatory comment about it to see how many downvotes I can get from the simpletons who read that shitrag. If I have a good day my mailbox overflows with gammons frothing at the mouth in reply.

Not going to read this. Because in matters of legality, I trust a KC explicitly. Now. Can we get on with fixing stuff and stopping Farage Trumpifying the UK?

As usual, if anyone saves the day, it will be women fighting for the same rights as men enjoy every day without a thought for how fortunate they are to have a penis.

Cry me a river.
Sometimes you’ve got to lose what you’ve got to truly appreciate how good you’ve got it. Maybe a generation from now, England and Wales will be the EU’s biggest cheerleaders.

POLITICO Europe @politico.eu · 22h

The British voted for Brexit because of immigration.

But now, they want to turn back the clock in favor of the pre-2021 border system.

Brits are pining for the pre-Brexit migration system

The idea was that leaving the bloc would give the U.K. back “control” of its borders and create a fairer system. But the widespread perception is it didn’t turn out that way.

Unfortunately it’s really difficult to make a sack of shit look like anything other than a sack of shit.

Dr Gráinne Nic An tSaoi @justgronya.bsky.social · 1d

Well, if nothing else, the threat from Farage looks less worrying than Polanski’s message of hope. Let’s hope it lights a fire under EVERYONE.

Dr Gráinne Nic An tSaoi @justgronya.bsky.social · 1d

The complete antithesis of Reform.

Polanski is to Farage what Captain America is to Thanos.

Except they are realigning with the EU. Unfortunately, a toxic media has polluted people’s heads with utter nonsense and misinformation, and our MSM are failing to be honest about Labour’s efforts these last 14 months.

There you go again, @zackpolanski.bsky.social, threatening us all with a good time.

Exclusive: Zack Polanski backs Scottish and Welsh independence

The eco-populist Green leader has called for sweeping change to Britain's political system, and spoken about potentially leading an explicitly ‘English’ party for the first time.

Because the MSM who cheerled Brexit would have railed against them even harder than they have done. They won everything and got it all wrong.

I’d very much like the voices on my favourite @lbc.co.uk shows to stop saying “no one else could’ve made the peace deal” when he did everything to undermine it, grab power, install himself as King and destroy democracy while covering up his sex trafficking and pedophilia.
