WTAF?? A potential terror conviction, but Judge Sam Goozee will not hand down his ruling until November 4, because the former English Defence League leader is travelling to Israel and the judge said he would ‘accommodate’ his ‘current travel arrangements’. metro.co.uk/2025/10/14/t...

Tommy Robinson terror verdict delayed because he is 'flying to Israel as guest'

Though Yaxley-Lennon does have at least 18 previous convictions - that might count for something!

John O'Connell @jdpoc.bsky.social · 1d

Serial racist, fraudster, violent thug, Yaxley, in court right now under the Terrorism Act.

A reminder that Paul Golding, of neoNazi Britain First, was found guilty under the same section of the same law.

He received a “conditional discharge“.

So, unlikely Yaxley will go to jail for this.

20 #Israeli hostages are released. Hidden in the detail is 1900 Palestinian hostages were also released.

Oh .. you didn't know #Israel had 1900 hostages? They had over 4400.

No charge, trial, process, medical access or contact. For YEARS.

You didn't hear much about them, eh?

This is beyond stupid - most English people don't have A Level standard English! That does not make them - or migrants - incapable of doing very valuable work here. Shabana Mahmood's counterproductive dog-whistles are shameful. Maybe she should join Reform?

Migrants will need A-level standard English to work in UK

The tougher rules will come in force in January as part of wider plans to cut immigration.

Poor Tommy Robinson. What possible reason could the border police have had for stopping a known criminal who is being investigated by HMRC from taking £13,000 in cash abroad while driving a Bentley that wasn’t his and refusing to answer their questions? It’s an outrage!

Take your Brexit boats, food shortages, 6 hour queues in airports, no living abroad, no studying in Europe, thugs pissing in the street, flags up lampposts, painted roundabouts, shouting at hotels, bricks in the balls, 30p Lee and shove them up your Russian owned sh t pipe.

The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of £800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly.

I wonder how they got to this editorial decision?

Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again.

Polanski is talking nonsense about wealth taxes.

JD Vance claims Trump is deploying the National Guard because crime in Chicago and Portland has gotten "out of control."

But crime rates were already falling in both cities.

This is all a power grab — and a pretext for something much worse. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/31X8vrfgHqs

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

Nigel Farage should tell the people of #Caerphilly about how he wants to abolish the Senedd.

Actually, no need, we have a video of him saying it.

(Also about how Fox Hunting turns him on).
