Is it a coincidence that huge anti-immigrant 'protests' have taken place just days after the Channel 4 exposè into Nigel Farage's and Reform UK's alleged funnelling of overseas funding into the party's accoints? It's impossible to know, I'm just voicing my entirely legitimate concerns.

Absolutley. The issue is what's on the platforms, not access. I'd trust my 16-year-old to identify AI slop or fake news before any of her grandparents, and I'm way more worried about them being susceptible to radicalisation than her. They still believe it can't be published if it's not true.

Pleased to see the USA win yesterday at #WorldCup2026. I've backed them to win the whole thing because Infantino has already invented a peace prize to give Trump, and I wonder what else he might gift him.

We've seen the far right march across the country today. All they care about is finding someone to blame for their own petty insecurities and vent their hate at. Unfortunately politicians are all too ready to fuel that as they avoid dealing with genuine issues www.liberalcurrents.com/the-violence...

The Violence on the Streets of the UK Is About Political Rhetoric, Not Migration
These riots are about race politics, not concerns rooted in reality.

If Muslims or members of the Asian and Black community had set fire to white people’s homes with children running for their lives, do you think we would be discussing legitimate concerns or focussing on who radicalised them and ideological and contributing cultural factors?

Didn't he fight pretty hard to get their endorsement pre-election? What could've convinced them to do so?

Dan Murphy @danmmurphy.bsky.social · 12/04/2026
This is pretty much exactly my take. The US, epitomised by this horrible administration, has spent so long convincing itself it's the greatest civilisation in human history that I can imagine the shared looks of disbelief at anyone - Iran included - saying 'no' to them. 'Best and final offer' 🤦🏼‍♂️

Hate the rivalries. Epic saw the whole lobby ignoring medallions for most of last season, and thought 'how can we *force* people to reveal their locations...?' Just let me play 🤬

Seems to me like Epic saw the whole #Fortnite lobby ignoring medallions for the back end of last season, and then thought 'how can we *force* people to give up their locations, even if they don't want to?' Fair to say I'm not loving #Rivalries.

Weaponise it to introduce even tougher immigration laws, duh. Also, is it a coincidence that the US oil companies Trump spends so much time trying to earn endorsements from will probably be doing quite well out of soaring prices?

Blows my mind that no-one has asked him this. "Mr President, you are tough on crime. Should a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist be eligible to run for the presidency?" Seriously, he won't even realise you're talking about him.

Can't hold a World Cup in a country where the dictator's secret police are executing peaceful protesters in the streets.

Good job I never want to go to the US because Donald Trump is fascist, and so is anyone who willingly serves in his administration. The US should be ostracised internationally, and if FIFA won't move the World Cup, then teams should boycott it and play their own international competition elsewhere.

If the leaders of Russia in 2018 or Qatar in 2022 had been talking so brazenly about using it's military to take over an independent territory, I suspect we would've been talking about a boycott of the #FIFAWorldCup. So why not now that Trump is doing it? It's his Berlin Games.

I went this morning, and have formed the view that you should be able to demonstrate you've done at least 3 'big shops' over the year to be allowed to do the Christmas one. I haven't got time to watch you block the aisle with your trolley while you contemplate what camembert to get, Gordon.

I realise it's indulging in the politics of spite, but if this is the reaction from these traditionally awful newspapers, then my starting point is that maybe it's an ok budget?

Given the similarities between Farage's public musings on Russia and those of his jailed former Reform colleague, there are only really two alternatives here: A) He *is* a Russian asset paid to spread Kremlin misinformation. B) He's doing it for free.
