It is mindblowing that the Home Secretary is not making absolutely clear that these scumbag thugs will be locked up and charged with every offence possible. They put brave RNLI volunteers at risk, and they are clearly becoming more brazen. Lock them up and send a signal, before a tragedy occurs.

I predicted a month ago that Trump was going to say exactly this. I said he was going to try and blame Ukraine for diesel prices and tell Zelenskyy to stop. And here it is. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Just so we are clear: The 83yo priest on the left is a terrorist. The balaclava-clad men on the right are protestors with legitimate concerns
A photo from the BBC of an older woman, with grey hair, being led away by police. A photograph of a line of men in black clothes and balaclavas blocking the port at Dover.

Possibly the most shocking revelation in this whole thing is that Nigel Farage was at one point in Clacton.

In politics, we’re torn between ideals and practicalities, aspirations and realities, the world as we want it, and as we find it But one day a manifesto comes along that reconciles both in every pledge. A rare moment of clarity and hope

Nigel Farage vs "the establishment" He went to private school, worked as a stockbroker, has been a professional politician for 31 years, has his own TV show, is a brand ambassador for gold, is mates with POTUS, accepted a secret £5m gift, and owns five houses bought outright with cash What a rebel

Reform have now lost six by-elections in a row in England, Scotland and Wales. Their national poll rating is 26% – below Labour in 1983 – and Farage’s approval rating is -37. They’re very far from the voice of the people and need to stop being treated as such.

This is Nigel Farage’s equivalent of Trump’s Jan 6th “army” It’s a clear strategy: say something highly incendiary, knowing full well scores of thugs will react exactly the way you want them to. You can then claim to “speak for the people” and our media will amplify it every fucking time.

Racist politicians whip up racist outrage. Widespread disorder ensues. The courts treat widespread disorder with the severity that they have always treated widespread disorder. Racist politicians cry “two-tier justice”, whipping up racist outrage. Rinse. Repeat. It’s so fucking tedious.

Yeah, a real fucking MYSTERY how Reform managed it, isn’t it? The press CONSTANTLY lap at the balls of that dodgy prick. The result? His billionaire funded online psy op goes mainstream, the illusion of mass consensus is created and then idiot voters feverishly kiss the hand that will beat them.

No office will allow smoking, because of the risk of being sued over secondary smoke. No shops or transport networks: same reasons. No bar or restaurant would allow it, because 80% of customers hate it, and would stop going. So who does this help? Nobody. Performative bullshit. Again.
