The Tories’ new idea for ‘welfare’ is actually an old idea that's been resurrected. In 2013, Alec Shelbrooke introduced a bill to put benefits payments onto cash cards. It failed and he withdrew it. I wrote about it here. buddyhell.wordpress.com/2013/03/16/t...

Rupert Lowe and his followers are claiming victimhood, because Restore thugs were chased out of Holborn and St Pancras by local anti-racist activists. Fascists mustn't be allowed to control the streets.

Reform have received £72 million in crypto currency donations. That should pay for even more bots and trölls to flood social media platforms with banal messages like ‘Vote Reform’ and ‘Not far-right. Just right’.

BBC News's Simons Jones says the RNLI is 'facing increased scrutiny'. It isn't 'increased scrutiny'; it's threats of violence and intimidation. This is how the BBC not only misinforms, but encourages scum like "Danny Tommo" and his clown army.

Anyone agreeing with Kemi Badenoch's stance on Israel/Palestine is really saying Israel can do NO WRONG. That there are no ethical or legal limits to its actions. Badenoch in a long essay offers NOT one word of criticism of Israel. And demands not one change of action from their government.

This is such an early catastrophic failure of leadership from Andy Burnham. It makes it very clear that ultimately he isn't serving people in this country (or nature), he is serving private equity and the interests of the super rich. This is why we currently live in Rip Off Britain.

Yes, it’s the whole herd of tame wingnuts that the British press keeps close at hand, in case they’re useful for kicking one minority group or another. This entire shitshow is helpfully illuminating on what’s been going on in Britain for at least ten years now, and who is to blame for it.

There's no need to perform indignation. It is plain and obvious: capitalists need racism, particularly in organic crises. They won't think twice before giving delirious racists like Cofnas a platform to cry victim. This has been THE central strategy of the right in the last decade.

Claire Fox seems to believe that eugenics is a legitimate scientific field. So much so that she claims Cofnas is being hounded. Yet, she ignores the hounding of Prof Jason Arday. Racist much?
