'Facism thrives when you let it.' Portsmouth RNLI temporarily suspended services after volunteers received abuse following an anti-migration protest. @mrjamesob.bsky.social says it's one of the most 'disgusting' stories he's heard throughout his career.

First the real extremists are the actual Nazis you fucking idiot. Secondly how is "radical right" more "Orwellian" than "far right"? That doesn't even make sense.

Just a few short years ago Calvin Robinson was a GB News presenter, a regular guest on various talk radio stations, Between 2019 and 2021, a school governor and a regular contributor to The Mail and Daily Telegraph. Now? Well now he's just an open antisemite.
