It's easy to forget how unknown open source investigation was before Bellingcat. Here's a story from my pre-Bellingcat blogging days that sums it up.

Many warned about Farage when he was racist to Romanians in 2014 on @mrjamesob.bsky.social show, referring to Muslims as a fifth column and defending Chinese racist slurs. Thats over 10 years ago. The system and people building careers have contributed to this being normalised. It’s no surprise.

The issue with racism in Britain is the pattern of shock, surprise and disgust. When we platform racists at the highest level, fail to call them out at dinner tables and in pubs, what do we expect?

It is a fact that in the UK it is more offensive to be called a racist than it is to actually say and do racist things.

This is an often forgotten point. UK is holding thousands of people in a status limbo. They get status, but no way of knowing how long it'll last and no settlement options. Planning work? School? One of the few things the UK has control over in the response to the war and they do this.

We see no indication from Russia that it wants to end this war, or pursue any form of truce or peace. That's why we need to help Ukrainians get through winter and defend their country. Ukrainians need more air defence. We need to increase pressure on Russia to make it clear they have to negotiate.

Police cars are often the first emergency response vehicle at the scene, but are not always equipped with life saving equipment, such as defibrillators. I have been working with the OurJay Foundation for Jamie’s Law, which would require every police vehicle to carry a defibrillator.

No amount of support for Russia can end the war, because Russia is the criminal aggressor. A modicum of support for Ukraine could, however, end the war, by making it impossible for Russia to continue. This should not be a hard choice.
