Turns out that if you are an old lady with a banner supporting Palestine, the government arrests you on charges of terrorism. If you are a masked white male thug bringing a national port to a standstill, the government does absolutely nothing, and the media covers it like some lads on a day out.

Fond memories of Rees-Mogg promising cheaper “food, clothing and footwear” So that’s higher prices, more immigration, no big international trade deals and no fixed NHS. Brexit was, is and always will be nothing but fools gold.

What's most sickening about Trump supporters (esp in the media) on both sides of the Atlantic is that they bought & amplified his bullshit about caring for families & service members when anybody unseduced by the racism & violence could see that he hates them at least as much as he hates himself...

Quite the depressing juxtaposition that on David Attenborough’s 100 birthday, after years of educating us about climate change and our responsibility to the planet & creatures we share it with, the country made his programs are voting for arseholes who’d roll climate protections back. 😔

You've appointed Tories to your top team. Why should people believe your party is any different? Farage: "These were two people who were ministers, but frankly weren't ministers for very long". Suella Braverman was a minister for over 4 years. Robert Jenrick was a minister for almost 5 years.
