Sorry, why exactly is Tommy five names driving a Bentley on his own that's not his to Spain and can't show the police his phone as it's got "vulnerable girls" on it?

It's almost as if someone's doing all this on purpose to manipulate the market..

Massive insider trading. Thirty minutes before Trump’s China tariff announcement, a crypto “whale” opened a $100M+ short on Bitcoin.

4:30 PM: Whale opens $100M+ BTC short
4:50 PM: Trump announces 100% tariffs on China
5:20 PM: $19.3 B in liquidations hit the market
The whale’s profit: $192 million

Reform mouthpiece Zia Yusuf, a completely unelected bureaucrat, has now appeared on #BBCQT three times this year alone

Jeremy Corbyn (a democratically elected MP for 42 years) has appeared once. Ever

Just saying

Lets make different political choices says Zack Polanski.

Like taxing billionaires instead of blaming poor people.

Deafening applause as Zack Polanski tells Zia Yusuf that people's concern over immigration is because he spends all his time spreading misinformation and fear.

Just bone chilling. And when the imprisonment of critics is combined with his offer to enrich and immunize his loyalists, this is how democracies die fast.

But it's still our choice. Don't let him silence you.

Anyone else remember that old SNL sketch in which Jon Lovitz is playing Michael Dukakis and Dana Carvey is playing George H.W. Bush and they're debating and in mid-debate Dukakis turns to the camera and says, "I can't believe I'm losing to this guy"?

Yeah, *that*

The BBC's justification for platforming Farage beyond the actual significance of his small parliamentary party are his polls. A rather cynical explanation, for he wouldn't be where he is without the constant, uncritical appearances he's given on the BBC. It's a (literally) vicious circle.

It's pretty clear that Scotland’s got everything it needs to thrive - we just need the powers to do it. Independence and rejoining the EU would give us the fresh start Scotland needs.

Jenrick,

Let's take our country back.

What country?, back from whom? This is the language of division and hate.

I think he may be right though, its time for Scotland & England's independence, from each other.

I hope this reaches you.

To a Life in Despair

Don't. Don't go to the bridge.
Don't wake in your coat in the morning light
and carry those stones into the river.
Don't find your father's pistol
in the attic, hidden in the family albums.
Don't. Don't pour the pills
into the whiskey, the walls dissolving
like your childhood. Don't, just don't choose
not to wake.

Stay. Just stay.
Tell yourself you'll do it tomorrow.
You can always walk alone into the darkness.
But not yet. Not yet. Not this soon.
I don't have a reason
to give you. All I have
is the morning, and the autumn wind,
and the child you once were
in the darkness, looking at the new moon
through the ruins, saying
save me, save me, save me,
and the moon looking back
with her vacant
face
saying I promise, I stone-
cold promise
that the face of utter
hopelessness
is the face of something just about to change.

Tommy Robinson hates Muslims, gets all his merch made in Bangladesh which is 91% Muslim.

It's not a paradox, he is a filthy little grifter and the money is all he cares about.

Amichai Chikli, Israeli "Minister for Diaspora Affairs", welcomes Tommy Robinson (Stephen Yaxley-Lennon) - a multiply convicted violent criminal & close associate of neo-nazis - to Israel.

As can't be emphasized enough, contemporary #fascism is a fully globalized project.

Wow. Robert Jenrick doubles down by branding a black journalist's questions "ridiculous" and saying that the problem is not his comments, but "journalists like you who pop up and try to knock me down", adding that "this is the reason why terrorist attacks happen". ~AA
