How is X anything less than a national security threat? Day in day out radicalising voters in plain sight, pushing people into vigilantism and whipping up civil unrest on our streets. Orchestrated fascism.

The BBC is promoting RefUK as a govt in waiting, when RefUK have 8 MPs, only 3 elected, the other 5 defected from the Tories. Lib Dems have 71 MPs but are ignored. Ofcom is supposed to ensure impartiality of the BBC - the national broadcaster - so clearly Ofcom is complicit in this political bias.

Says Richard Tice, a divorced man in a relationship with Isabel Oakeshott, also a divorcee, speaking for a party led by a twice-divorced man, as he tells us unmarried people should be deprioritised for social housing. One rule for me. Another for thee.

No, Elon: it was because the conquest of Egypt (in particular) suddenly made a few Romans so unprecedentedly rich and powerful that they destroyed the Roman Republic.

One of the first "outrageous" claims I saw as Jason Arday's media hounding unfolded was that he ran 30 marathons in 35 days! Wow! What a thing to claim! And the newspapers all suggested there was no evidence he actually did it. Well, they clearly didn't look very hard 🙄 🧵 1/26

When faced with the irrefutable evidence that men of all faiths, skin colours and cultures commit sexual violence there will always be some men who will seek to persuade themselves and others that actually it’s a particular problem of a group of men who are not like them.

JOURNALISTS WANTED
A poem by Munya Chawawa 

Illustrated by a digital drawing of snarling, barking hounds. Sometimes, I ponder
For the Great British press:
What actually constitutes as success?
Is it how many headlines make flatlines?
How many witch-hunts start from your front page?
Does everyone carry a shovel to work
Because the best 'scoops' are the ones that dig graves?
Is there a bonus for hounding?
Because why do these hounds only pause
When the victim is no longer moving
And their career hangs in chunks from their jaws?Is a chart hung up in their office
That rates crime according to hues?
Underneath it, I bet there's a memo:
'The blacker the berry, the tighter the noose' A black duchess can't eat avocados Without fuelling "drought" and "murder'" And a black player is always the reason The entire England squad didn't go further
"This is the thing about blacks!"
"They make everything about race!"
"I could find you 1000 good articles!"
But they'd all use the wrong black man's face...I've got no problem calling out lying
But it's odd to let other things slide Like being on a pedophile's island Or starting a whole genocide
If indeed, a man is found lying Is it not enough to end his career?
Or were the 188 articles after that happened To ensure he was no longer here?
Perhaps they were teaching a lesson
So the next generation knows better
And mothers sigh relief
When their son joins a gang
Than risking his life as a Cambridge professor.

Just had a thought. Farage registered a £9,253 benefit from George Cottrell funding a Belgium trip in April 2024 - before the GE. This is the time that Farage and his allies say he was "not in politics." He declared that, but didn't declare the £5m Harborne gift. Something doesn't add up there...
