Weaponising Christmas in an aggressive attempt to push racism and fascism is the exact opposite of the spirit of Christmas and more Satanic than Christian. As a Catholic I find it deeply offensive. We need to protect our children from being taught to hate by Nazis.

There’s a huge roaring from every one of the fash about the case of the 17 year old Afghan small boat migrants who raped a girl in a park. In case you missed it they were caught, tried and imprisoned. Ironically they have more in common with their critics than with other Afghans.

Boris Johnson's slurs are one thing. Keir Starmer overseeing the introduction of a new Section 28 in schools for trans and non-binary people, supporting segregation and backing Wes Streeting as he drives kids to suicide after stripping them of their healthcare is on a whole other level.
i hate it when i mention how bigoted keir starmer is and someone is like 'huh? are you forgetting that boris johnson called gay men bum boys?!'.
no. i haven't forgotten that. that's nothing compared to the shit keir starmer has done.

In public ownership that would have gone into infrastructure, lower bills.
Privatisation delivered low investment, high bills, no tax on dividends to foreign investors.
