The editors let Nigel Farage write for the Jewish Chronicle. Nigel Farage. A man who got a standing ovation from Nazis (www.dw.com/en/nigel-far...) before they were mainstream. What a shameful day.

The "stop the boats" movement is being driven by the type of English suburban racist who thinks that one black family living in their street is one too many. Yes, it really is as simple as that, and it has been for decades. There is no intellectual depth to this stuff. It is pure, distilled hate.

It is utterly deplorable that a housing project in Glasgow was deliberately set on fire because of racist misinformation spread online. Those responsible will be fully pursued and will face justice. Let's unite against racism and lies that seek to break our communities apart.

“The logical response to material deprivation is to hate ethnic and sexual minorities“ - no, it’s not, it’s a choice! And to call it bigotry is not “name-calling”. It’s factual. These voters have agency. Let’s not patronise them by claiming that they don’t.

Turns out that if you are an old lady with a banner supporting Palestine, the government arrests you on charges of terrorism. If you are a masked white male thug bringing a national port to a standstill, the government does absolutely nothing, and the media covers it like some lads on a day out.

When masked thugs radicalised by racist hate blockade ports and threaten harm, the police make zero arrests, and the response of the government is to issue a statement sympathising with the protesters' aims and only mildly rebuking their actions, we have a big fucking problem.

Whilst there's no firm evidence to connect the Lewes and Wickford derailments, there are a lot of circumstantial factors that mean it wouldn't be unlikely for there to be a common cause. Do please pay close attention to that wording, though.

Blaming wildfires on arson and irresponsibility is a go-to PR tactic for climate change deniers. Of course we need to crack down on them in these conditions. But I believe the UK government is doing as commanded here - pushing a denialist narrative.

Serious questions have to be asked of Police Scotland after today. The police prevented anti-fascists surrounding the fascists, then couldn't control the fascists themselves, and so parts of the town centre had fascists running around attacking folk. That is a HUGE policing failure.
