Is it hyperbole to call this fascism becoming reality on our streets? This isn't protest about legitimate concerns. It is dangerous and needs to be resisted. Proscribe the political parties that enable this. Ban the leaders from public office.

People are hopeful at last. But angry too that our failed politics has led to gross inequality and the divisive rhetoric of the far right. Let's stop fighting one another and turn that anger to the real culprits, the super rich feeding off us and setting us at each other's throats.

The right to vote is often said to matter because people should have a say in how they are governed. But it is also a right to decide how others are governed. And that should impose an obligation to educate oneself and not vote from a position of ignorance:

As usual, Sweden has the right idea:
 A man and a woman picking berries in the woods.
Right of public access

Sweden's nature is open to everyone thanks to the right of public access. It is a unique opportunity that means you can freely roam most natural areas, even in privately owned forests and lands. It is also based on the responsibility we all share to show respect for animals, nature, landowners, and fellow humans.

For those with "genuine concerns" about immigration of "young men of fighting age", how do you feel about this:

Now we need the names of the undisclosed billionaire comrades bankrolling Reform and the future will be a little brighter.

How many people does the BBC expect will renew their licence if it capitulates to Trump's shakedown?

This must be some dystopian reality we've stumbled into: (www.politico.eu/article/dona...)
The U.K. foreign secretary did not rule out taking up an offer by Jordan Bardella, the leader of France’s far-right National Rally, to conduct “pushbacks” of migrant boats in the English Channel if his party wins power.

Such a move, never previously accepted by France, would involve British Border Force boats directing laden dinghies, bound for the U.K., to turn around at sea.

A warning from a member of the 0.1% from 11 years ago. With economic, political and social inequality accelerating, we need urgent reform to our economy, for everyone's sake. join.greenparty.org.uk www.politico.com/magazine/sto...
Quote from the Article, The Pitchforks are coming...for us plutocrats, by Nick Hanauer, published in Politico magazine, 2014.

He warns that every society with vastly unequal wealth has ended as a police state or in an uprising.  He urges the wealthy to tackle the inequality before it's too late.

I had missed a bit of this story. I assumed Cooper had been expelled for his racist posts, but the official line appears to be that he was dismissed for not declaring social media accounts to the party:

Why? The law is clear: "for all purposes" except where s9.3 applies. But here's what the Justices say about clauses in the Equlaity Act from the FWS case:

Yes, those described in the GRA act s.9.1. The holder of a GRC is for all purposes legally of the sex assigned except where statute decree otherwise:

The law has only established that under certain circumstances exclusion of trans people is not discriminatory. It is far from clear how that relates to wider questions not considered by the court. For example, see: uklabourlawblog.com/2025/05/07/t...

Ridiculous, both from the EHRC and the guardian reporting. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n... The Supreme Court did not rule that "the legal definition of a woman is based on biological sex" The judgement itself makes this clear:
