If a party puts a racist who called for people to be burned alive on its conference platform and she gets a hero’s welcome, I think there are valid inferences that can be drawn.

Why are you listening to Farage again. Why are you giving him a platform. Why are you concentrating on the wrong problems. How are we letting this happen. Etc. etc.

The laziness and implied bias of the BBC here is extreme - "No 10 did not comment" presumably because the CPS and courts are independent, but there's no attempt to find anyone who would argue the opposite view, just the unchallenged whine of someone who called for asylum seekers to be burnt to death
what the fuck is this headline from the BBC, I feel like I'm losing my mind www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Lucy Connolly says she was political prisoner over Southport post
She gives her first newspaper interview after being released from prison.

In light of recent revelations I feel obliged to clarify certain aspects of my recent memoir "Heal Me, Hedgerows". While the book is largely factual on a purely emotional level, many of the activities described did not take place in a Derbyshire commune, but while playing Stardew Valley. No refunds

Timely repost of a thing I’m dead proud of: Cunk and Shitpeas on migrants. Just to point out that the news media that incite vile racist shit often backpedal when they realise they’ve gone too far. And they’ll be back before you know it.
