This is now common in various countries at this late stage of mainstreaming of far-right politics For centrists, the threat is no longer the far right which is treated with respect, as a reasonable contender for power The threats are the very extreme right and anything left of centre

Liberalism pointedly failed to defend itself from the right for *decades*, preferring to ally with the far right to secure the neoliberal consensus against threats from the left. Now that consensus is collapsing from its own contradictions, they are in a bind of their own making.

people have been saying for years that these freaks won't be happy until they can machine-gun people in the Channel, and now they're just saying it where's that 1984 extract about the cinema? ah yes (CW: violence)

April 4th, 1984. Last night to the flicks. All war films. One very good one of a ship full of refugees being bombed somewhere in the Mediterranean. Audience much amused by shots of a great huge fat man trying to swim away with a helicopter after him, first you saw him wallowing along in the water like a porpoise, then you saw him through the helicopters gunsights, then he was full of holes and the sea round him turned pink and he sank as suddenly as though the holes had let in the water, audience shouting with laughter when he sank. then you saw a lifeboat full of children with a helicopter hovering over it. there was a middle-aged woman might have been a jewess sitting up in the bow with a little boy about three years old in her arms. little boy screaming with fright and hiding his head between her breasts as if he was trying to burrow right into her and the woman putting her arms round him and comforting him although she was blue with fright herself, all the time covering him up as much as possible as if she thought her arms could keep the bullets off him. then the helicopter planted a 20 kilo bomb in among them terrific flash and the boat went all to matchwood. then there was a wonderful shot of a child’s arm going up up up right up into the air a helicopter with a camera in its nose must have followed it up and there was a lot of applause from the party seats but a woman down in the prole part of the house suddenly started kicking up a fuss and shouting they didnt oughter of showed it not in front of kids they didnt it aint right not in front of kids it aint until the police turned her turned her out i dont suppose anything happened to her nobody cares what the proles say typical prole reaction they never

A straight play-by-play repeat of the 2010s bullshit here. A general tip here, and not specific to this example: something I noticed back then that was helpfully clarifying was… you can type someone’s at-name into some social media platforms and then see what replies they’re getting.

Sky News understands Polanski supports
Lucas's right to be in the party and
acknowledges she has received abuse online - but asked what his response was to the messages directed at Lucas, a Green Party spokesperson said: "Of course Zack condemns online abuse."
The response has provoked criticism from some party members for not being strong enough. One told Sky News: "If we tolerate this behaviour we risk creating a party where policy is decided by those who are most comfortable with online harassment, with all others being bullied in to silence. The only way to stop this is through leadership and unity."
Another Green insider said: "The idea that one of our most important figures could be pushed out for expressing a political view in a fair and considered manner is a sign of how much the culture inside the party needs to change.
"Headquarters needs to urgently get a grip and unequivocally state that Caroline Lucas is a valued and important member of the community."

RICHARD EDEN: Michael Gove splits from
French lover 26 years his junior
By RICHARD EDEN, DIARY EDITOR
PUBLISHED: 23:00, 2 October 2026 | UPDATED: 08:24, 3 October 2026

The gulf in their ages - he, at 59, is 26 years her senior - inspired much attention when their romance first bloomed, though arguably not as much as the disparity in their respective physical charms.
After all, far from placing himself in the same bracket as Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael Gove has instead spoken candidly about what he considers his deficiencies in 'looks, charisma, all the rest of it'
Now, however, the former Tory Cabinet minister's relationship with his girlfriend, the French academic Dr Lola Salem, has ended after two years.
'They've parted,' a chum tells me, adding that Gove has moved out of the west London flat they shared. 'The split happened some time ago, but all parties have been tight-lipped about the reasons'

Female Oxford University professor, 33, is
charged with possessing indecent images of children
By ELIZABETH IVENS
PUBLISHED: 17:20, 10 October 2026 | UPDATED: 17:25, 10 October 2026

An Oxford University professor is facing trial after being charged with possessing indecent images of children.
Dr Lola Salem, 33, is a music lecturer at prestigious Oriel College, the oldest royal foundation college at Oxford, where King Charles is the 'official visitor' as reigning monarch.
She was suspended by the college, whose famous alumni include Sir Walter Raleigh, after they became aware of the charges in June.
She has also been barred from teaching students there and at fellow Oxford colleges Wadham and St Catherine's where she previously lectured in French.
Dr Salem has been accused of possessing indecent images of children between May 2021 and February 2023. Three of the images are classed as category B, the second most serious category, and one is classed as category C.

I thought it was a core principle of Western liberalism (e.g. US Declaration of Independence) that it is people that have inalienable rights, not states or system of governance. And if a system of governance denies or violates people's rights, the people have the right to change it.
