Whenever we see someone post that they're stopping their donation to the RNLI, like some right-wing virtue-signalling flex, we can't help but think of this. You can donate to the RNLI here: buff.ly/bsku22S
Only 1.2% of RNLI calls are for asylum seekers in the Channel — red poster arguing that cancelling RNLI donations equates to saying "I hate migrants... I'm willing to jeopardise the lives of the other 98.8% of rescues," followed by the sarcastic "Lovely people, right?"

I wonder how the percentage of asylum seekers with criminal records compares to the percentage of people's patriots with criminal records.

According to Nigel Farage, Iceland being in the EU Single Market, having free movement of people and belonging to Schengen is perfectly compatible with national independence. I look forward to him endorsing the same independence for the UK: back in the Single Market, with free movement and Schengen

If you’re wondering why UK press has suddenly woken up to Farage, please read this. It’s because: Brexit. The r/w press refused to scrutinise the money behind Farage & the lawsuit against me scared off the rest. But this isn’t a new scandal. It’s the same one I’ve been reporting on for a decade

Robert Jenrick has a meltdown on #C4News He refuses to accept that there are parliamentary rules that Nigel Farage may have broken And insists the only people who can judge Nigel Farage are the people of Clacton 😅 - Whatever you do, please don't share this humiliating clip

If you were to count out a million seconds, it would take you 11 and a half days. A billion seconds would take you 31.7 years. But a trillion seconds would take 31,700 years — to reach that point today, you would have needed to start counting around the time that neanderthals went extinct.

Remember: left wing politicians should be investigated for every little thing because they are hypocrites if they have any money or property at all. Right wing politicians are expected to be financially well off so their corruption is just shrugged off. Anyone who disagrees is just jealous.

Say what you like about the British press, but I find it reassuring that they spend months ripping apart a Labour PM for properly declaring some glasses and football tickets, then all but ignore someone who wants to be PM when he tries to cover up a £5 million gift.

See also Sky News: look at this front page. Where is the regional vote? Where is it?! It's not there at all! You cannot see the national regional vote! How then does Joe Punter square the Greens on 15 seats, but seemingly 2.3% of the vote? Pathetic. election.news.sky.com/elections/sc...

We must stand in solidarity with Jews being attacked by antisemitic criminals and terrorists: no ifs or buts. We must stand in solidarity with Palestinians being murdered by the Israeli government: no ifs or buts. These are not contradictory positions. They are consistent ones. 🧵1/5

Our car-dependent status quo is the result of political choices that have steered decades of financial-, spatial- and design decisions. It is time to repoliticize these decisions and reshape our public spaces.

Wow, a day with no gas burned in Scotland's to generate electricity - but all of Scotland's customers charged the higher gas-fired electricty price. Only independence will end this lunacy. Don't let this go on any longer.

Worth reflecting on how putting own interest first impact the broader market later on. Companies restricting/getting rid of remote work sometimes do it after negative experiences with a few people abusing it (eg slacking, doing a second job etc.) It was worth it for them: not worth it for the rest
