and of course, as @flyingrodent.bsky.social and others always say, the Fearless Media could stop it all straight away if they wanted to. just half a dozen standing outside the Home Office shouting "are you going to resign for being so utterly ridiculous" at ministers would do it.

this morning's commute was somewhat marred by the appearance of the paramilitary wing of London Northwestern at the exit barrier. I don't think there were any passengers in the meeting where they decided that the best approach to "revenue protection" was a Berlin Wall Reenactment Society.

Waiting for Burnham to say "We appreciate that some people may wish to slash at RNLI boats with what appears to be an illegal bladed article while shouting abuse and we hear their concerns". Take one step towards fascists, they take three steps back & say 'meet me halfway'. No pasáran.

How can it be that I know Andy Burnham disapproves of serving Yorkshire puddings with Christmas dinner but not whether he disapproves of masked fascists threatening members of the RNLI?

observation: quite a lot of "things that happen at work" at the moment is people trying to sell each other stuff they've built in Claude. the problem is that they all recognise the output cos it all looks the same. so then they all think "well I could do that myself". maybe this is circular economy.

When I was younger, I'd look at nations that had collapsed into fascism and wonder two things: how could so many people involve themselves in such cruelty and why didn't politicians do more to stop them? The last decade has shown how the first bit happened and now we're getting to the second part.

When I was at school, learning about the "history" of European racism, I didn't get much of a notion that at some point I would have to physically stand up for my family, friends and neighbours against a masked, potentially violent mob. And now it could be this weekend for all I know.

I wonder what event is going to lead politicians to the realisation that these things need to be stopped? it feels like the answer might be too close for comfort to "the Russians closing in on Berlin".

it's ok he's done an Instagram about making my life a bit better and bringing back hope. I'd have a lot more hope if I didn't feel like I was in 1933.

this is also true in the UK. and I speak as someone who desperately wants this shit not to happen, but am also, if not apathetic, certainly over-concerned about self-protection.

There is no electoral downside to the Government calling fascist thugs fascist thugs and it is absolutely insane that Starmer-but-Northern doesn't recognise this.

I simply do not understand what's going on in Labour that renders its leaders incapable of finding a TV camera and speaking out against street violence. Even if you assume they agree about immigration, violence is wrong, unpopular AND against the interests of any even vaguely left wing govt.

The National Front migration policies didn’t stop when Starmer quit BTW. The same people are still in post doing just the same things. All that’s happened is: they’ve recognised the overt Norsefire rhetoric and imagery repels the libs, so they’ve hidden it beneath a thin veneer of smiley good vibes.

It really isn’t normal for media outlets to hound minor public figures to death, just for fun, because they can. That really is a Just Britain thing.

footballfan (n): a subspecies of the genus homo sapiens which sees no humour in the fact that it will scream abuse both at an opposition player for taking a free kick 3 yards from the correct location, and at the referee for asking its own player to take it from the right place.

I reserve the right to apologise later, but what I'm seeing at first glance here is "now everyone can afford previously expensive legal insight"

For non-Brits: if you understand Britain as less of a modern democracy and more as creepy village in the woods ruled by a clique of malicious elders who periodically sacrifice a bunch of their children to their pagan gods to improve the harvest, then this stuff makes *a lot* more sense.

seeing a lot of anthropomorphising of LLMs which if I'm honest read mostly as "this piece of reflective glass contains an odd image"

Bill Oddie's enthusiasm on the early Springwatch series and some of his "solo" work was infectious. I know loads of stuff about birds and wildlife in general I have no need to know because of that.

I'm reasonably confident in the confidence of the rest of the peloton about improvements in equipment and nutrition, but you can't really blame the testing authorities for turning up in the middle of the night just to check

I don't mind the Farage impersonation if he's using it to do the right things. I wish there were fewer signs of him doing it in the Home Office as well though.

I spend my time in normal world saying that new incoming managers should do very little except listen to the existing staff for the first few months. good to see the Prime Minister taking this in board.
