Hey @kemibadenochmp.bsky.social - tell us more about how the UK should have its own ICE. These chaps in camouflage and masks look like they’re having fun. If you join Reform you might even get elected and then you could make this happen to any uppity British vicars who disagree with your policies.

It’s almost like the real purpose of Reform is to protect the ultra-wealthy at all costs while just using issues like immigration and cost of living to manipulate desperate working class people into thinking Reform actually gives a shit about them.

Just the Conservative Party’s intellectual heavyweight @kemibadenochmp.bsky.social apparently failing to appreciate that America, Canada and Australia aren’t in Europe.

Also, geography aside, is she really citing America as an exemplar of respect for human rights?

Is this the sort of thing you want to emulate @kemibadenochmp.bsky.social? Or perhaps you could build a detention facility like Alligator Alcatraz where 2/3rds of detainees go “missing”? At this point, you may as well just dissolve the Conservative Party and join Reform.

I’ve signed this because I know that it is men like Trump and those emboldened by his self serving bigotry that are the greatest danger to women. We know who rapes / sexually assaults us. We know who kills / hits / stalks us. We know who seeks to control and oppress us. And it isn’t trans women.

Good Law Project @goodlawproject.bsky.social · Sep 19

It’s time for women and allies to speak up. To say ‘not in our name’ to the discrimination and exclusion of trans people. Are you with us?

Now Farage is dangerously predicting the collapse of this government within 2 years.

The media salivating on every word.

We have never been in so much danger as we are today.

Democracy is on the brink. Farage is a dangerous traitor.

This 👏👏👏

If you’re a white British man, and you’re not a rapist yourself, statistically it is very likely that you are friends, or at least acquaintances, with one. So, if you’re concerned about rape, talk to your mates about their attitudes to women before you protest asylum seekers in our name.

Anyone else sick of listening to the Far Right dressing up their racism as ‘protecting women and girls’? We know who presents the real danger to women and it’s not asylum seekers.

It’s not just history that tells us how this ends, it’s happening in the US now. When they can’t deport as many ‘illegals’ as promised (because there were never that many) they need to make up the numbers. Just because you voted for them, doesn’t mean they won’t come for someone you care about.

Should the world’s richest man, Elon Musk have a slice of the UK energy market? I don’t think so, which is why I added my name to the petition to Ofgem demanding they reject Tesla's application to supply energy here in the UK. Join me and add your name too?

It is a shame that we live in a world where the individuals least able to tolerate complexity and nuance find it easiest to attain positions of power and in which actual subject matter expertise is met with widespread distrust.

Of course Israel couldn’t possibly be targeting journalists to minimize reporting of the genocide in Gaza…

Even if you aren’t bothered about the genocide being carried out by Israel (and, if that’s you then I urge you to examine your conscience) this conduct raises serious questions about the extent to which British democracy has been compromised. Everyone should want to see this investigated.

I wouldn’t be opposed to it but trusts limit the impact of IHT. A huge proportion of British assets are beneficially owned by a vanishingly small number of super-rich individuals most of us will never even hear about. The present tax system doesn’t effectively access this hoarded wealth. It should.

thegarn.bsky.social @thegarn.bsky.social · Aug 2

A wealth tax may be complex but it’s the only way to disrupt hoarding of assets by the super rich. Equalising CGT would not solve the problem because it kicks in on sale. The super rich don’t sell assets, they borrow against them, essentially generating un-taxed income which compounds inequality.

Watch this. Share it. It will take less than 10 mins. The truth matters. Starving Palestinians are being killed trying to access food because of the Israeli government’s policies. It’s not Hamas. The US (and UK) are complicit. Only massive public outrage will end this.
