Hi,I am not sure which post I liked. I know that there is a genocide going on in plain sight. I despise and am revolted by those who are actively doing and passively supporting it . I would like to see if made a mistake liking any post which seems out of step with my ethics

When will the new regime at the Labour party have the balls to unproscribe PA and have all charges against those protesting peacefully dropped? It was always unjustified and made more sickeningwhen the intimidating and / or violent behaviour of the right wing thugs goes largely unpunished

It is an appalling act and the reform councilor said it was an understandable mistake. He wasn't challenged on this. Does he mean that if these people were asylum seekers then it would be fine for the thugs to intimate them? It's unbearable watching this hateful far right agenda infect our country

I don't think he has much to worry about when we are in a country where police, just following orders, man-handle and arrest people in their 80s for holding a cardboard sign. Despite this week's revelations Farage and Reform seem to still have a large percentage of media in or near their pockets

His only interested is money and ideas that big business will like, while stirring up hate using bigotry, racism ,misogyny and blaming those with the least power, pandering to the far right. He likes a goon squad .Though if he keeps on using idiots to do deals who knows, maybe the law will catch him

They give Reform , Farage particularly, so much media time and inches , it gives a wholly inflated idea of how much power they have , it can be forgotten that they only have 6? MPs and most of them are ex tories. Also, in interviews they are rarely challenged and there is little scrutiny

Reform stir up racial hatred and religious bigotry so I guess this is naturally their next step. Aside from their voters, I wonder how many of their policy makers would pass, though they wouldn't have to take it, would they, unbothered as they are with democracy
