Senor Crabs @senorcrabs.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Calling him "the opposition" is a bit of a stretch. He came last in every seat he contested after starting his fascist party. It's just weird how little these American extremists know about Britain compared to how much they talk about it. 000

Senor Crabs @senorcrabs.bsky.social · 04/09/2026It's the same as labours approach to hero voters Surely politics and news is about educating people and changing opinions. If not then what's the point? If it's just pandering to where people are at, then why have news, debates or parliamentary process at all. Just do policy by vox pop and poll 001

Senor Crabs @senorcrabs.bsky.social · 17/08/2026That logic is scary. It justifies removing empathy from Amy of the outgroup and can be used to justify anything.

After James Orr, the party's head of policy, had to resign after a sting by *Channel 4 News* (see "*Right Orr Wrong*, p14"), *Telegraph* chief reporter Rob Mendick texted Orr: "I was hoping to talk to you entirely on background," he schmoozed.
