Simply this! 👇

We share more similarities with people from other countries than we ever will with the millionaires & billionaires, yet it's the latter who bring us the most misery.

Immigrants, poor, sick, & benefit claimants are NOT the problem. Don't listen to our politicians & our biased media.

Reece Dinsdale @reecedinsdale.bsky.social · 10d

When are we going to realise that people from foreign lands are not automatically our enemy… but the likes of Michelle Mone and her husband (and those millionaires and billionaires who are making money out of your misery and at your expense) are!

On #BBCQT - Fiona Bruce said that the audience and public didn't want to press Reform UK on their dodgy links to Russia.

I disagree.

RT if you agree it's in the public interest for Reform to explain about their links to Russian money and bribery!

#ZackPolanski represents a new kind of politician who genuinely cares about both people & the planet. He's an honest, genuine, & principled man.

We need more politicians like this, not the dishonest, self-serving allies of the wealthy we've had for decades.

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia.

Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

Fair enough, you're entitled to your view, but I disagree. There are European countries with far-right parties in govt: Italy, Hungary, Finland, Slovakia, Croatia, & the Czech Republic. Sweden also has a far-right party supporting the govt through a confidence & supply agreement.

Kevin 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇪🇺💚 #VoteGreen @kevbro1969.bsky.social · 2h

It should be, but I'm not surprised in the slightest that it isn't.

Our biased media & press ONLY report the news that they WANT us to know & always from their prospective.

Call it propaganda, call it whatever, but you can't call it news.

The Reform UK slogan of 'Family, Community, Country' is very similar to the French Vichy regime's slogan 'Work, Family, Country'

The Vichy regime collaborated in many of the worst crimes of Nazi Germany, including deporting Jews to the death camps.

Farage is no fool. He will know this similarity.

The #right & #FarRight use #London as an excuse because of its multiculturalism. I live is the west of England & my OH has had 2 of her bikes stolen too.

I'd say crime is relatively high all over the #UK, because we're being failed by our #Labour govt & the #Tories before them.

Grateful Dad @dibbleysdad.bsky.social · 20h

Finding it hard to care about people losing thier Rolex in Kensington tbh. What a pointless article. Lived my whole life in London and have had 2 bicycles stolen in all that time. People who have never been here so want to hate on the place. Do fuck off.

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Is London in the grip of a crime wave? It’s not so simple

Perception of runaway crime partly blamed for ‘driving away the super-rich’ but in reality some high-profile offences such as watch theft are falling

Frans Timmermans & Michel Barnier have publicly said they'd welcome the UK back into the EU. They, plus others are aware that we were lied to about Brexit & the majority want to rejoin. 40 years is WAY to long. They should start the process now.

Kevin 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇪🇺💚 #VoteGreen @kevbro1969.bsky.social · 3h

Agreed. In desperate situations, we all would.

But the question is: WHY in the 6th richest nation in the world would ANYONE need to steal due to lack of money??

The answer is because the rich have it all, & govt after govt do NOTHING to redress this.

#Labour, #Tories, #Reform aren't on our side.

BladeoftheSun @bladeofthes.bsky.social · 15h

The Headline smear, what Polanski actually said.

Mr Polanski, 42, said he too would 'consider shoplifting' if he also had no other option to earn money or obtain food.

Zack Polanski said people who steal because they do not have much money should be shown compassion
