HOPE not hate @hopenothate.org.uk · 04/10/2026
Ninety years ago today, Oswald Mosley tried to march his Blackshirts through the Jewish East End. 🧵 He had thousands of uniformed fascists behind him and 6,000 police clearing the way. But the people of the East End got there first.

Joining people from across London today to mark 90 years since the Battle of Cable Street. In 1936, Jewish and Irish communities, trade unionists and working people stood shoulder to shoulder, united against fascism, antisemitism and hatred 90 years on, that message matters as much as ever.

If you lie down with dogs, don't be surprised if people start looking for fleas. There may or may not be fleas? Who knows? But there are certainly dogs. Big, hairy, slavering, corrupt, murderous dogs. Sports washing. Investment washing. How far does it all go? How far is the UK complicit?

I’ve seen first hand what happens when you put kids to work in a shoe factory. Kids who were starving and begging on the streets started showing up to work for a pittance and make the global brands pots of money. Let the kids learn. They aren't your subservient, compliant workforce, yet.

A Happy #DayOfDredd to all who celebrate.
The album cover for 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' by The Beatles, except the Fab Four and their cardboard friends have been replaced by Judge Dredd and his impressive gallery of allies and enemies. No, I'm not going to name all of them, and yes, while it is quite possible that the character you really like isn't in there, I make no apology for their absence. Batman, Predator, Alien and The Biker Mice From Mars are all missing because I wanted this to be a tribute to Rebellion.

If the PL lets them off with a pissy little fine and nothing much else it will be seen as complicit and useless and will implode. Probably wouldn't be a bad thing except everything is foreign owned now and there would be no way back. Unless the lower divisions just let it go and carry on without it.

Manchester City cheated Premier League rules, the Commission found. Did it also cheat HMRC? We've examined the decision and leaked Mancini documents. We think City likely failed to pay £12m in tax. There should be a criminal investigation. Thread:

Five years ago, when a Seattle burger chain raised employee wages & benefits the Reicht wing lost their minds, screaming the result would be $20 burgers & the company would end in bankruptcy. Today, the chain is even more popular than ever. Never let them try to tell you a living wage can’t work.
