Galloway's a vile man. This is just another lesson in how you can never appease the cranks. Polanski's mealy mouthed statment only shows how unable he is to confront these people in his own Party.

Cat impressionist and Moscow asset, hates Ukraine. Delighted to see so many of his fans taking him to task in the comments though 👌

I do not follow this account. I follow no related accounts. Yet I open facebook and this is the top post on my feed. Promoting racism, sectarianism and lays the blame at, you guessed it, jewish people. The mainstreaming of antisemtism is a direct result of META algorithms pushing it onto people.

The idea defence is the priority, at the expense of other programs is a bad joke. The figures speak for themselves. Starmer's rushed attempt to moderately increase the DIP (not enough) while loudly declaring this was at the expense of infrastructure investment further bungled the conversation.

Using the excuse of our victory yesterday to push my agenda: Giving us back a unique and cool national flag. Especially relevant going into q-finals.
A white dragon on a red background. Historic symbol of Saxon England pre-Norman conquest.

All I'm saying is, if the Iranians can get £300bn for Hormuz, imagine what we could get if we returned to our traditional national value of legalised piracy.

I was going to filter the names as per usual but these pos posted these publically on Facebook comments. My social media is increasingly a hotspring of casual anti-semetic tropes as jokes. and comments like these. Social media is the driver behind this new generation of hatred against Jews.
2 comments from a Facebook post about antisemitism. The first reads 'Ah, rolling this out again, a week before elections. I wonder who might be behind it? With an image claiming antisemitism is a trick. 

The second says "you can't say anything about the funny hat gang".

Foreword from he who must not be named...
Foreword by Ramsay Macdonald: 

FOREWORD

By the Rt. Hon. J. RAMSAY MACDONALD, LL.D.. M.P.

THAVE the sreatest pleasure in commendins this Encuclopædia
to everyone interested in the Labour Movement. In it the
wohole range of Labour interests in industry and society is
covered. and Mr. Lees-Smith, its editor, has been singularly
fortunate in procuring the services of men and women to write
on subiects upon which they are recognised authorities. So much
of what Labour stands for has become the subject of partisan
propaganda that it has become obscured by all the arts of the
political milliner, and it is difficult for the honest inquirer and
student to separate the false from the real.
Ire we have something
of sober authority, something that can be depended upon, something
woritton not-with a molitical but an intellectual obiect.
Both our
defence forces and our critics may turn to these volumes and
understand what in truth the Labour Party is, what is its outlook,
what its range of vision, what discipline and knowledge it brings
to its work

TWO things must strilke everyone woho fingers this Encyclo-
pædia for the first time and casts an eue down its tables of
contents : the wide ranse of subiects that a Labour survey includes
and the reputation of those who deal with them.

THE
Tabour Movement
US no narrote criticism of this fault
and that, no mean effort on the part of any section to secure
advantages in life for itself, no unhappy kicking against the
pricks. It embodies a view of social unity and organisation,

Amusing how mainstream conspiracy theories about think tanks have become in politics. When 10 years ago anyone posting something like this would be ostracised from politics for being a weirdo! The fabians being the pick for this one though is particularly hilarious!
Social media post by reform uk. Reads as follows: Behind the Labour party is a powerful society called the Fabians. Its a socialist body which shapes and influences political thinking on the Left. Many Labour MPs are members. Its goal is to create a socialist world via "peaceful" means. Some argue its about creating a softer version of communism. Its emblem is sinister: a wolf in sheep's clothing.  Questions over funding, motives and how much power does it hold over Westminster? Who are they?

Something fascinating is that "Far Right" must still register in the public consciousness as being a bad thing. When news orgs lable reform, correctly, as far right; this is always in the comments. Now a quick look at the accounts usually spots a fair few bots, but largely this is real people.

Thanks BBC, I'm glad to learn Labour winning an election in which reform came third is another win for the Farage party. The notification to users of your app made sure I didn't miss it either, so thoughtful...

For me, this is the best evidence of a corner of social media that is actively radicalising people. The climate and covid hoax crowd overlap too neatly with this fringe view on Ukraine. Gov has got to regulate soc media, as the companies have no interest in stopping this.

Can't quite recall who was in power the last 14 years. Media should, rightly, eviscerate the Tories over this hypocrisy.
