Their despicable tactic of "yes, let's go after the bilingual children" never ceases to amaze me

This. The terms "military age" or "fighting age" are seldom, if ever, used to describe young men with white skin. All a part of the fascists' "invasion" rhetoric. Message being pushed is that 'they' are violent, 'we' are not. The language used is part of how racism like that is normalised.

I can’t believe that Reform UK turned out to be financed by a bunch of money laundering fronts for Russia. It’s just so unexpected.

Neoliberalism in a nutshell. UEFA on FIFA's proposal: “The moment external investors acquire ownership interests ... football changes forever. Commercial return becomes a permanent obligation. ... Every decision is no longer driven by what best serves the game, but by what best serves shareholders.”

Right-wing outlets have reached the point where they're wheeling out retired football managers in an attempt to lecture the public on immigration. I guess the views of anyone with expertise in immigration policy, asylum process or labour market needs wouldn't have given the messaging they wanted.

Do you know what 'cheapens the Holocaust'? Sharing a platform with people who say they 'trust Adolf Hitler' and that Jews are 'not our people'. That's what Reform did in Glasgow yesterday. A rally where you can't move for Nazis is a Nazi rally.

Very enjoyable that Trump will have to hand the World Cup trophy to the Spain team. A country that got right under his skin and made him throw his toys out the pram, simply by having the sheer audacity to say no.

Strongly recommend this excellent, well-researched piece by Sam Bright on Farage’s highly murky funding and networks. Farage is the grifter’s grifter. "Farage seems to deeply dislike modern Britain – to the extent that he wants to remake it in the image of his favourite foreign autocracies."

Farage getting back on his Private Plane with relief, I reckon 'Farage can be heard saying: "Well, maybe we need some more people in politics to make money. How about that?" A man is seen responding: "More billionaires in politics? That's your idea, more billionaires, scroungers like yourself? "

Just stood there crying like a baby for a while. One of the greatest endings to a game of football I've ever seen. Absolute chaos and I wouldn't have had it any other way. Scotland have qualified for a World Cup for the first time in my lifetime. Heroes, every one of them. Over and out.

Exactly this. It shouldn't be the responsibility of part-time lower eague sides to bear the brunt of Premiership teams inability to develop their own players. Just release them and let them find their level or loan them out to the very clubs you're making them play 6 pointless friendlies against.

Disappointing to see how commonplace the use of phrases like "fighting aged males" has become. That phrase isn't used in any other context, and certainly not when describing white British males. Using "fighting age" instead of "working age" is so obviously part of the fascist 'invasion' rhetoric.

It's not asylum seekers who jack up rents, undermine the NHS, hold down wages and keep people insecure. It's capital. The role of the far right is to shift the blame for decades of economic attacks by the rich and powerful onto powerless people who have only just arrived here.

Why, you might ask, do the BBC and Sky News, casting their editorial guidelines to the wind, keep giving massive airtime to the far right, while shutting out leftwing voices? Don't their bosses understand the likely consequences? Only one explanation now remains. They do. And it is what they want.

Good to see Maitlis doing some proper journalism and actually holding people to account for their rhetoric on this type of thing. Too often these kind of views (that are not based in any kind of fact) go completely unchecked when spouted by the far right.

Perhaps, it's the wall-to-wall TV coverage the media give him and his cronies? A consistent platform to cultivate the image of the pint swilling English hero, without any challenge to his politics and dangerous party rhetoric. This is a man that lost 7 elections, yet still fills our screens daily.

Why does Starmer's Labour Party seem determined to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory? Because it hates the left more than it fears the far right. As a result it won't do the "left" things so many of its potential supporters are crying out for.
