LOL at Starmer talking about how social media is bad because it “records every mistake”. We don’t all go on LBC and endorse crimes against humanity live on air, mate.

One of these people is an 83 year old Priest who held up a sign expressing her right to free speech. The other has decapitated his political enemies with a knife. Guess which the UK government calls a terrorist, and which gets invited to number 10 for dinner.

Again: a suffragette threw an axe at Herbert Asquith

The Lady Chief Justice said proscription of Palestine Action “struck a fair balance” and that PA is not a peaceful civil disobedience group like the Suffragettes

"Judge Johnson kept the jury in the dark of his plans to sentence the four as terrorists. This is the first time in British legal history that anyone has been sentenced as a terrorist for damaging property." Please RT until this is both the 1st & last time. Thank you.

HISTORY LESSON The Nazi Party branded itself the 'National Socialist German Workers' Party' to appeal to working-class men. After staging massive 'pro-worker' May Day rallies on May 1, 1933, the very next day Hitler banned independent trade unions, seized their assets, and arrested their leaders. On May 2, 1933, the SA (Storm Troopers), SS, and police occupied trade union offices nationwide in a coordinated action. They seized assets, records, and funds while arresting union leaders and officials. Contemporary U.S. State Department reports and other sources noted around 50 prominent arrests in the initial wave, including key figures like Theodor Leipart (chairman of the General German Trade Union Federation, ADGB), Peter Grassmann, and former Labor Minister Rudolf Wissell. Many more local and regional leaders faced arrests in the following days and weeks. Large numbers endured beatings, imprisonment, or transfer to early concentration camps such as Dachau (opened in March 1933 primarily for political opponents). Some officials were maltreated immediately, and the action extended to union banks and press offices. This crackdown dismantled independent German trade unions (with millions of members, many aligned with Social Democrats or leftists) and replaced them with the Nazi-controlled German Labour Front (DAF). It formed part of the broader Gleichschaltung (coordination) process to eliminate independent organizations. Over the period 1933–1945, thousands of German trade unionists, including leaders, activists, and officials, were arrested and held in prisons or concentration camps. Many suffered torture, extended detention, or surveillance after release. While outright executions of union leaders were relatively fewer in the early phase compared to other groups, many died later from camp maltreatment, disease, execution, or involvement in resistance. The overall scale of persecution against labour organisers aligns with the regime's aim to crush independent working-class organising rather than immediately exterminate every individual. This fits the documented pattern of political repression: by the end of July 1933, nearly 27,000 people (mostly political prisoners including communists, socialists, Social Democrats, trade unionists and left-wing activists and intellectuals) were held in early camps and detention sites. The Nazis moved swiftly after seizing power to neutralise potential opposition from organised labor through mass arrests, violence, and forced integration into a state-controlled structure. #JustSayin
Reform is now the party of workers. Today I am inviting trade unions to apply for affiliation with Reform UK. We also welcome union leaders to attend our national conference in September and engage in discussions about the policies of a future Reform government.

What an absolute disgrace. A FIFA-certified referee being denied entry to the United States purely because he is Somali. The World Cup is meant to bring people together. This is racism, plain and simple. Shameful. bbc.co.uk/sport/football/art…

So far at the 2026 FIFA Epstein Cup before a ball kicked: - Senegal & Uzbekistan squads treated like criminals upon arrival given full cavity searches; - Africa’s best referee sent back to Somalia despite having a diplomatic passport; - Iraq team photographer sent back despite valid visa; - AIPS (international sport journalist association) calling on FIFA to sort out unacceptable visa issues of African & Iranian journalists; - 90% of Moroccan fans with tickets denied entry - 14 members of Iran backroom staff denied visas Not a word from Gianni ”today I feel black/gay/disabled etc” Infantino.

remember back in 2023, when I was saying Labour’s plan to improve Britain basically amounted to “we’ll win and we’re great, so we’ll be awesome at it and the vibes will be great, then the economy will boom like it’s the late 90s”? It turns out, that was exactly what the plan was.

We investigated to see who in Britain is terrifyingly racist, and, wow! It turns out it’s the NHS, students and academics, trades unions, teachers, Palestinian solidarity and the left as a broad bloc. What’s that? Oh yes, it turns out the Mail and the Sun were 100% correct.
Karen Newman from the Board of Deputies: ".. they're just about to say they're Jewish.. then they look up & see a Palestinian flag on the uniform, thats not a safe moment" This isnt about tackling antisemitism. Its about cracking down on any display of support for Palestinians
