Incidents like this have happened with increasing regularity over the past couple of years, with many triggered by local misinformation about the arrival of non-white people at hotels But it has also happened elsewhere, including a church gathering in a park and a Scout trip to an activity centre

Just want to point out if people had been beaten up at the Green or SNP party conference and their leader had cheered it on. It wouldn't just have been on TV, it would have been on TV non-stop until the election. But for Reform, it barely got mentioned.

I wrote this because most journalists facing this pressure can’t. The paper we count on to check authoritarianism spiked an investigation into the Democratic Party because the party’s lawyers threatened to sue. Holding authoritarians accountable starts with holding your own side accountable.

The British Media Vs. Plagiarism
4 panel comic

Panel 1: 
British Journalists are relaxing on lilos in the sea. Someone on the shore yells “Hey Guys! An academic got accused of plagiarism”

Panel 2: 
One of the journalists sticks out their tongue and says “Pffft. Wake me when there’s a real story”

Panel 3: 
Person on shore “He was black”

Panel 4: 
The sea explodes as a tidal wave of British Journalists erupt into the air, manic and desperate to report on this now vital for some reason piece of news

The BBC, intimidated and infiltrated under the Tories, lost its guts and its mojo. The political assault combined editorial attack with a critique of the licence fee as poor value (which it isn't) and as 'regressive' - a low move from politicians who gave precisely no f*cks for the hard up.

They are all very deliberately ignoring the express wishes of Henry Nowak's family; the judge's sentencing report & the obvious, albeit brief, consequences of a crime being reported exclusively by a lying associate of the perpetrator. It may feel futile but this has to be repeated again & again.

So three things can be true at once. 1) Reform's National Equivalent vote is down in this set of elections to 27%. This suggests they have peaked. 2) They have such big swings and gains because they started from nothing (compared with 2022). 3) Labour is losing in places we simply shouldn't be.

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.
Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...
