Yeah late 60s to early 90s but I agree it’s far from good. And the summer pograms were one of the grimmest chapters in recent times.
Reminds me of Northern Ireland in the bad old days. Intimidating with a clear undercurrent of violence. As an Irishman it’s very very unsettling to see this in England now.
The final eye roll says it all.
Got to watch the first 2 episodes of Marco Bellocchio’s new HBO drama Portobello at the Carson Soho. Going out on a limb here and say it might be in the same league as 2019 Chernobyl. youtu.be/xWfP35FJ0vQ?...

Lords Heseltine & Kinnock seem more alive to these self-evident truths than most members of the Commons. Similarly, I find thinkers with direct lived experience of far right dictatorship, Greeks of a certain age for example, crystal clear about what’s happening now.
“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”

“Because that’s what they are”

@vicderbyshire.bsky.social asks Lord Heseltine about remarks he made at Conservative Party Conference.

@bylinetimes.bsky.social can now reveal that, during the crucial period when convicted Reform leader Nathan Gill was most active, working directly with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s most senior ally in Ukraine, he was also one of Nigel Farage’s closest confidantes 1/12

It’s increasingly clear that convicted Russian influencer Nathan Gill was a senior member of Farage’s entourage. (Banks and Wigmore were also in and out of the Russian embassy sharing FBI files, RT talking points, and discussing gold and diamond privatisation deals)

He sounds knackered. All the time.
Yep. Even though I’m an Irish citizen and passport holder I was googling it today.
Finally hit middle age, middle class, and middle England all on the same night.
The recent Gentle Giant and Level 42 features were epic.
Freak Zone is the best show 6 Music produce imho. Perhaps a toss up between this and Giles Peterson’s Saturday show. Both did sublime Black Sabbath tributes a few weeks back.
Odd that this isn’t top of the news headlines like every other Reform story.
Nathan Gill is no fringe politician.

He was the leader of the Reform Party and before that UKIP in Wales.

A Brexit Party MEP.

A friend and ally of Nigel Farage, who in 2016 called him:

"terrific," and "as honest as the day is long."

This is a MASSIVE story

3/ Tech fascism in a nutshell: “Computers are so much more rule-based, controllable, fixable, and comprehensible than any human will ever be. As many political schools of thought do, these technolibertarians make a philosophy out of a personality defect.“ She wrote this in 2000!
You have my vote sir. Earlier this year it took me 5 months to get paid by a company which has an annual turnover of $15bn.
