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 trying to clear the way but the people of the East End got there first.

"European officials are warning of the risk of Moscow intensifying its hybrid campaign aimed at increasing pressure on Ukraine's allies." Europeans really need to get beyond the idea that Russia is planning for a hybrid war. This is what preparations for a real war look like.

For all we know at the moment, the 5 men arrested near RAF Fairford might have been on a stag night. But the wild claims by Trump and Rubio suggest that, if they'd been apprehended in the US, they would have been denied due process. I hope our government tells them to butt out of our justice system.
