Elon Musk can say what he likes about me but I won't stay silent whilst foreign tech billionaires, money earned off the backs of real workers, try to interfere in our democracy, incite violence in our communities and tear apart our country.
Time for him to pipe down.

This is possibly the saddest thing I've seen in a long time..an immigrant nurse talking about fleeing her home..she saved her UNIFORM. So she could still WORK for our communities.
I'd fill this country with a thousand of this woman than one of those good for nothing thugs.
God help this poor woman.

Green MPs' response to the violent unrest in Belfast.
ALT Green Party Logo. This morning we have seen the horrific reports from Belfast of people driven from their homes based on nothing but the colour of their skin, with some politicians, including some in the House of Commons, using a truly horrendous individual incident to blame a whole community. Bold text: As Green MPs we condemn this scapegoating as racist, wrong and at odds with British values. Headshots of the Green MPs appear alongside a list of their names: Sian Berry MP, Ellie Chowns MP, Carla Denyer MP, Adrian Ramsay MP, Hannah Spencer MP. Green Party imprint.

Of course salaries are below market rates. They were a rinky dink, small organisation until less than 12 months ago.
Suddenly give major pay rises is the sort of thing a poorly run organisation does if it wants to become insolvent.
Serious people know this.

This is the kind of thing that was said about the Jews in the 1930s.
It is not hyperbolic to say that degrading an entire culture leads us to a very dark place. Reform are playing with fire right now trying to stop themselves being outflanked by the extremists of Restore.

It's out of control, and there's no political leadership. Why isn't the Prime Minister speaking out against the twisted logic that blames people, entirely unconnected with the crime, solely based on the colour of their skin?

Crime is now being viewed through an entirely racialised lens – but only when the perpetrators aren't white.
When Chas Corrigan stabbed a Saudi student to death, or Paul Doyle mowed down Liverpool fans, white people didn't have to fear being a target of collective retaliation.

El trabajo que hace Francia Insumisa es el ejemplo para el conjunto de izquierdas populares europeas: disputar la patria, la bandera, el himno desde lo popular.
Mucho más potente que las Identity Policies de la izquierda americana, basada en la enunciación y la fragmentación de identidades. Aquí da igual color de piel, género, orientación sexual: la idea es ser todos Uno, pueblo conquistando derechos.
Es construir ciudadanía republicana por encima del individualismo o del narcisismo de colectivos encerrados en sí mismos 👇

Why does Britain have basically no history of political rallies like this when they are so common across the political divide in Europe?

Lady in glasses, "I'd just like to say that if there should be any cold rage that is happening, it should be directed towards the politicians"
Fiona Bruce, "What, all of them?"
Lady in glasses, "No, the ones trying to sow the seeds of division between us"
"Because we're basically being manipulated by billionaires at this point"
"And it shouldn't be like that"

Number of people asking me to comment on the Henry Nowak case. His father said "We do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension". If you can't respect his wishes, you're scum. That's what I think.

Piker has said some stupid and revolting things. But it doesn’t mean we should be telling British cultural organisations they can’t invite him to their events, or that the threat of Home Office prohibition becomes a routine consideration. Meanwhile Cenk is a mainstrean US commentator on the left. We need a conversation about how important freedom of assembly is as a guiding principle of an open, liberal society.

This is counter-productive, authoritarian and chilling. The British state should not be in the business of banning commentators and journalists from entering the country, without compelling reason. Finding their views objectionable is nowhere near enough.
