Truly vile. At a public event, Mike Graham mocked Andy Burnham’s father for having Alzheimer’s, less than three weeks after Roy Burnham died and apparently on the day of his funeral. Just the lowest of the low.

4 October 1936. Battle of Cable Street took place in Cable Street, Whitechapel, London. It was a clash between the Metropolitan Police, protecting a march by the British Union of Fascists (BUF) led by Sir Oswald Mosley and various anti-fascist and Jewish demonstrators.

This guy hasn’t applied a content warning without very good reason. This is genuinely harrowing to watch. Sometimes you see footage of Farage et al and, amid the nastiness, you’re sort of amused too if they’re shown up for what they are. This is very much not that. It’s deeply upsetting.

Agree. And we also need to say that it began with Brexit. Brexit wasn't about leaving the EU. It was about leaving the modern, interconnected, multicultural world. That's why it was doomed to fail. And yes, while not all Brexit voters were/are racists, all racists were/are Brexit voters.

5. After around 30 hours at sea, the dinghy was intercepted by the RNLI and those on board transferred to two lifeboats. Two lifeboat personnel tried to secure the empty dinghy. Thomas yelled abuse and knifed the dinghy to deflate it - with a rescuer still on board.
