While this place is 100x better than the hellsite, there are still a few people who seem determined to spoil the experience. So here are my instant blocking criteria: - Insults or abuse - Performative idiocy - False accusations - Pointless conflict - Racism, sexism or other prejudices.

While anti-genocide campaigners were prosecuted in their 1000s in Britain, this is on the streets of Belfast right now. When Benn & Starmer refused to call a COBRA meeting following the paramilitary-backed ethnic cleansing of the Belfast pogroms in June - it was a green light to loyalist terror.

Funny how the MSM don't often make a big deal about this. But it ought to be a much bigger scandal. US refugee laws are being twisted and perverted to serve a white nationalist agenda.

Men who commit this kind of violence with this kind of rhetoric are not protecting women and girls; they are trying to legislate which men have the right to harm women and girls (and of course it's men like them and not those other men).

There is too much focus on Musk and too little focus on how British politics and media have created the conditions for the pogroms in Belfast. Yes, Musk and X should face consequences but it‘s too easy the externalize the reasons for an empowered far right.

These are the same right-wing commentators and journalists who demonise people protesting against Israel's genocide as dangerous extremists. Protests against genocide are hate marches, they say. What about pogroms burning families out of their home?

“We have many migrants who make a deeply valuable contribution to our country, including in our healthcare & hospitality sectors. We don't want this to be used to divide people/fuel hostility." Why is it being left to affected families to say this while politicians talk about "legitimate concerns"?

What is happening now is the inevitable conclusion of political weakness, cosying up to Reform, banging on about small boats, making no effort to confront others' lies - it was always going to lead here, as they were warned repeatedly by so many people.

Please please please get every single SNP MSP, MP and councillor off the Apartheid/fascist Twitter platform. Having an active account there should be a disciplinary matter. Ditto Scottish government, executive agencies etc. No organisation in receipt of public funds should be on Twitter.

It breaks my mind that two British political parties have seen scenes like this and decided to try and replicate it in Britain. Thuggary, lawlessness, state brutality. Farage and Badenoch decided they liked the look of it.
