What with record donations to the RNLI, Fairford suspect turning out not to be terrorists, figures out showing small boat crossings way down, and Tommo not given bail - not a good week for the hate-spewing, far-right Reform UK & Restore Britain liars

You should prosecute politicians when they break the small laws, because you won’t have the chance later, when they break the big ones.

While rightwing media nods approvingly at the prejudiced outcry in Piddington, a RNLI station has to close because of white British thuggery and threats. This is where the constantly toxic obsession with immigration leads. To racist, flag-wielding vigilantism that ruins this country for everyone.
