Ninety years ago today, Oswald Mosley tried to march his Blackshirts through the Jewish East End. 🧵 He had thousands of uniformed fascists behind him and 6,000 police clearing the way. But the people of the East End got there first.

It’s a lovely Saturday. Imagine if you will, strolling down Redchurch Street, a picturesque commercial street in Shoreditch and having to step off the sidewalk to go around a mountain of rubbish …. Londoners deserve better. Wouldn’t you agree @london.gov.uk @towerhamletsnow.bsky.social ?

La condescendance de #Cnews – chaîne d'extrême-droite – qui nie le droit à la parole aux autres et conclut que les français n'écoutent pas ces paroles : "ce que dit Teddy Riner ou rien, c'est au fond la même chose". Détrompez-vous, nous écoutons.
@PascalPraud
, être sportif de haut niveau n’empêche pas de garder les pieds sur terre et de porter un regard attentif sur son pays.

Comme beaucoup de Français, la situation actuelle m'inquiète : la colère qui monte, les fins de mois difficiles, le respect de nos institutions qui s'effrite, les fragilités de notre école et le manque de perspectives pour notre jeunesse.
Si je m'exprime, ce n'est ni pour donner des leçons, ni pour diviser. J’aime profondément la France : je défends son histoire, le génie de son peuple, son patrimoine, ses valeurs républicaines et sa diversité. C'est pour cela que je refuse la résignation. Les solutions ne viendront ni des surenchères, ni des recettes du passé qui ont montré leurs limites. Elles viendront de nous, de notre capacité à préserver la cohésion nationale, à défendre le pouvoir d’achat, à débattre et à construire ensemble.
Qu'on ne partage pas mon avis, c'est le jeu du débat. Mais le droit de s'exprimer appartient à chaque citoyen, quel que soit son parcours. C'est avec humilité et conviction que j'entends participer au débat d’idées sur l’avenir de cette France que nous aimons toutes et tous.
