Signed this one too. Transformative if implemented, which guarantees it won't be. Zack Polanski's point made manifest!

Sadly nobody seems to care.

Please consider signing this - no large donation comes without strings attached, quite obviously, and accepting money from overseas non-nationals, and bizarrely crypto, is clearly absurd, and banning at least those ought not to be controversial in the slightest.

It should have been done already.

No because far far worse crimes and far far more people have been burned alive by terrorist Russia.

Pete @petelihou.bsky.social · 1d

Started the war? So you don’t remember Russia invading Ukraine?

There seems to have emerged a consensus in the UK and America that, no matter how treacherous or criminal a politician is shown to be no action will be taken if they have propaganda momentum. Never again point the finger at 1930s Germany.

This is the man the BBC elevated & is refusing to investigate despite @carolecadwalla.bsky.social l & @bylinetimes.bsky.social
having done all the work for them .
Do we have a precedent for a this ? A national broadcaster ignoring possible treason , isn’t that in itself sort of treasonous 🥴 ?

Reform Party UK Exposed @reformexposed.bsky.social · 3d

Seems @Nigel_Farage is trying damage limitation on the Reform Russian Bribes scandal.

He’s known Nathan Gill for 20 years, and claims he knew nothing.

No one believes you, Nigel.

Keep the story moving. Questions must be answered.
