Rutger Bregman said that the line BBC removed from his Reith Lecture broadcast was: "Donald Trump is the most openly corrupt president in American history.”

Chilling.

Californians are buying ice scrapers at Home Depot, then immediately returning them....bogging down the entire store, until Home Depot refuses to allow ICE to loiter at their location to detain innocent people.

Winter is coming. Scrape ICE.

I wonder how many of the 2000+ arrested for terrorist offences by quietly holding pieces of card were also labour voters or even members?
They don't put those details out for some reason 🤷🏽‍♂️

That a Reform politician (Farage’s mate Gill) was in the pay of Russia is no surprise.
