It'll be interesting to see what excuse all these poisonous accounts come up with for all just happening to be offline for the exact amount of time it took to fix the bot factories.

What a horrific read eh! These religious fanatics (who have bastardised the religion they claim to follow) are desperate for a race war aren't they. 🤬

She's a contemptible human being... but for once she's on the right side of history. I desperately hope some other equally awful people will join her on this.

The kind of men who are tired of seeing "I am Jane Doe" posts are, at a minimum, lacking any kind of empathy or respect... and in many cases it will be even worse than that.

He is. The investigation is ongoing. In the meantime he's as welcome anywhere in Britain as a turd in a swimming pool. He's treated with utter contempt by everyone, and if no charges are brought after the investigation there'll be national outrage (which the authorities are well aware of).

Time for Zelenskyy to take his gloves off and say the blatant truth that must be said in the bluntest way possible, that Trump is a Russian asset. And then the international community apart from rogue states (Russia, North Korea, USA) needs to express unequivocal support for Zelenskyy and Ukraine.

... and a mea culpa from Boris Johnson is almost unthinkable, it's just not in his wheelhouse. This is a seismic statement.

Martin @mkt1882.bsky.social · 10/10/2026
I hope Americans realise what a statement, an acknowledgement... almost a mea culpa this is. Johnson has bent over backwards to support Trump and the Republican Party so much over the last few years, to the huge detriment to the UK and in the face of all logic. For him to say this now says it all!

Betty would be first to complain about lack of integration from various immigrant communities...yet when a Somali brit grows up here and is so integrated that she's part of our political system she's "dictating" what happens here. It's a grim reality of our society that we have hypocritical bigots 😕

I like that Obama is becoming increasingly politically active in these dangerous times, silence is not an option when your society is facing an existential threat and other high profile former politicians of either party need to step up to the plate as well.

Sagal Abdi-Wali came to the UK aged 7 having fled the war in Somalia with her family. She has thrived. Leader of Camden council and now the MP for Holborn and St Pancras. A narrative that runs counter to all we are told about refugees. Congratulations www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

"What's causing it is unclear" What? Seriously? What's causing it is oppression!!! Those poor kids don't feel safe to identify in whichever way they choose because of the culture war rhetoric and propaganda of the RW cabal and the subsequent enabling of bigots everywhere.

The list of disqualifying quotes he's spewed from his poisonous lips over the years is almost endless, he's blatant in his ignorance, racism, misogyny, grift, etc etc and yet very few seem to bat an eyelid. It's as shocking as it is horrific.

You should go and see Rachel. She's very good, but also, the balls it takes to do a post like this - in a climate where comedians are encouraged to post nothing but wins, forever - merits your attendance on its own.

Either way though, it's utterly grotesque how she feels that the victim's looks have any relevance at all to what she endured. It blows my mind how callous and performatively cruel all those in and around the administration are.
