Heads up Hull.
The far-right are emboldened, rallying in our city regularly.
Please join Hull's Unity Rally this Saturday in Queen Victoria Sq at 12pm to celebrate Hull's standing as a City of Sanctuary which welcomes refugees and asylum seekers.
These are our streets, not the far-rights.

A wonderful passage in the Nobel Prize press release.
It's the antidote to Trump (and all tyrants).

The good people of Hull turned out today to demonstrate that our streets don’t belong to the far-right racists.
They belong to the vast majority of decent people who welcome refugees and asylum seekers.
Hull is, and will always be, a City of Sanctuary.

I've decided that every time I get the urge to post about the government's constant anti-immigrant cruelty (on which I've already said all there is to say) I'll post a photo I've taken instead.

I saw your DM, but can’t get to it because Bluesky is insisting I get age verified to open DMs. 🤷♂️
That’s an interesting place, not been in there for ages, but will try to pop in shortly.

I’ve read somewhere that those who do the public stalls are instructed to distribute excess papers afterwards in that way.
Which cafe is it?

I believe those who distribute the magazine are instructed to dump any copies they don't get rid of from their stall either through random letterboxes or leave a pile of them in cafes etc, so the owner of the cafe likely didn't know they were there.

It’s staggering that anyone believes that nonsense. These disrupters thrive on propagating fear distrust confusion and division because all of those things weaken society.

@angusyoung61.bsky.social @hulldockster.bsky.social Who is behind the stalls of conspiracy theorists that are popping up? I saw some on Newland Ave on Thursday, claiming climate change isn't real & peddling bullshit abt '15 min cities', anti-vax stuff, & copies of 'The Light'.

I've no idea who's behind them. Presumably the Council has to give permission for a stall, so wonder if they'd lied to the Council about what they'd be promoting. @angusyoung61.bsky.social

Asylum seekers, housed in hotels in Manchester, are reaching out in their own words to address the concerns of the local community.
Please take a minute to read their letter, & share it with the people in your life who need to hear the truth about the people they are protesting.

One of the casualties on HMS Hogue was Seaman William Joseph Atkinson of St Luke's Terrace, #Hull. His son John Joseph Atkinson (who attended one of the same schools as me!) would die fighting at Jarama… #SpanishCivilWar

When was the last time you heard a politician in the media asked anything like-
-How will you make sure asylum seekers can reach the UK safely & refugees are protected?
-How will you make sure people coming to this country to work or study are treated equally & with respect?
I cannot remember.

Where else could this very smart & bound to succeed approach to “beating” the far right be happening then?
