Polling by YouGov with Best for Britain suggested Labour would get closest to forming a majority government at the next general election by adopting a manifesto commitment to rejoining the EU. A pledge to reverse Brexit was the only scenario tested that would stop a Reform UK-led government.

Waiting for Burnham to say "We appreciate that some people may wish to slash at RNLI boats with what appears to be an illegal bladed article while shouting abuse and we hear their concerns". Take one step towards fascists, they take three steps back & say 'meet me halfway'. No pasáran.

The lesson from this week is that most of the UK media thinks Hot Fuzz is a horror movie about a woke city cop destroying a perfectly admirable local community.

People keep posting this saying it looks a bit like fascist uniforms from sci fi films seemingly ignoring the fact in the actual text it says it was inspired by the Starship Troopers uniform worn by actual fascists in the film. There's no subtext here.
Space Force uniform posted by dying fascist lunatic Donald Trump.

Seems the difference between ‘protestors’ and ‘terrorists’ is that protestors wear balaclavas while terrorists hold placards.

This is very much my magnum opus, represents days and days of traumatic work, includes clips which, I promise, you're not aware of, and one astounding moment of actual far right fake news being created - live! So, what I'm saying is, you better listen, share, and shower me with furs and jewellery.

The problem with commentators reacting to the Jason Arday tragedy by sternly pointing out "people need to reflect on their own role in this" is that the people who really do need to reflect on their own role in this, never reflect on anything.

Hatred of a particular group is the strangest thing; you literally get nothing from hating, and the act of hating takes something away from you that you’d still have if you just ignored the target of your hatred

If you wondered whether they'd stop bullying somebody after he died then the answer is no, they won't. One of the usual ghouls, I wont bother with a screenshot, you dont need it in your life any more than I did.
