🚨 BREAKING: Sky News confirms a terrified mother ran hysterically into a hub after her child saw their address listed as a target for racist mobs online.

Families are completely paralyzed by fear, unable to even send their children to school. Pure terror!

🚩 Lord Heseltine sounds the air raid siren on Brexit crime:

Brexit was a “heinous crime” against the British people, led by Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage and their allies.

“Never have so few done so much damage to so many.”

The promises have turned to dust. A majority now wants to rejoin.

The guilty men should hang their heads in shame.

A pregnant Muslim woman was kicked in the stomach in a Co-op car park in Milton Keynes.

He called her the “f***ing problem with this place,” attacked her “clown clothes”.

Hit her with a wine bottle and bag of ice.

Kicked her in the stomach twice after she told him she was pregnant

She lost her unborn twins.

The judge called her attacker a “shabby racist.”

A ‘SHABBY’ racist.

Not a TERRORIST.

Not a MONSTER.

He served under 2 years. He’s been walking free since 2020. Samsam Haji-Ali’s twins are still dead.

If he’d been Muslim, this would have led every news bulletin as a terror attack.

Thirty worshippers were inside the Zainabia Islamic Centre when a petrol bomb was thrown onto the roof. They put out the fire themselves.

These attacks didn’t all happen this week.

They happened years apart. That’s the point. People forgot. Our system doesn’t.

The Women and Equalities Committee’s first-ever inquiry into gendered Islamophobia, published January 2026 (HC 571), documented over 6,000 verified incidents in 2024 — a 165% rise since 2022.
73% of assaults came after the summer riots.
65% targeted women and girls.

The Muslim Women’s Network UK surveyed women before and after the riots. Before — 16% feared for their safety. After — 75%.

Home Office figures show anti-Muslim hate crimes rose 19% last year. Muslims are the target of 44% of all religious hate crimes. Only 6% result in charges.

The government’s Hate Crime Action Plan expired in 2020. No replacement has been published in six years.

They let 3 women dressed in burqas strip off to the chants of “take it off”

They let hate marches happen across the UK.

Anti Islam murals across Northern Ireland.

They proscribed Palestine Action as terrorists.

And they still refuse to use the word Islamophobia.

The system is broken.

Every attack in this post is being mapped.

Mosques, streets, workplaces. No stone unturned.

🚨🗣️New: Thierry Henry reacts to the USA vs Paraguay stoppage for TV commercials:

“I’ve spent my entire life in this beautiful game — as a player at the highest level, as a fan, and now as someone who analyses it every week — and what unfolded during that USA versus Paraguay match left me deeply frustrated. The fourth official standing there on the touchline, arm raised high, instructing the referee to hold the restart… not for any injury, not for tactical reasons, and not even primarily for player hydration in that scorching heat. No. It was because the broadcast team hadn’t finished airing all their commercials. That’s not football. That’s a television show pretending to be a World Cup match.

The beautiful game is being strangled by greed. Players are out there in the heat, ready to restart, momentum building like a storm about to break — and we pause everything so the sponsors can cash in. It’s like stopping a symphony mid-crescendo because the advertisers want their jingle heard. Football didn’t conquer the world by turning into American sports with endless timeouts and ad breaks. We had rhythm, flow, emotion that flowed like a river. Now? It’s dammed up for dollars.

This isn’t about hydration or player welfare anymore — it’s a slippery slope where the soul of the game is sold piece by piece. Fans deserve better. Players deserve better. The referee on that pitch looked like a puppet on strings controlled from some broadcast truck. Enough is enough. We need to protect what made this sport the greatest on Earth before it disappears completely.”

The World Cup should be football’s cathedral. Instead, we’re turning it into a shopping mall with a pitch in the middle.

And here’s the question nobody wants to answer: if the fourth official is waiting for commercials, then who is really running the game? FIFA? The referee? Or the broadcasters?

Because the moment football starts asking advertisers for permission before asking the players, you’ve crossed a line.

The World Cup is supposed to be the showcase of football. Not the showcase of who paid the most for airtime.”

Today Farage wrote a 5000 word diatribe dog whistle to his followers about 'forriners' having housing when British people cannot access it.

Brilliant Nigel they scream

Now think - he has 4 houses (at least) , his girlfriend whom he lives with another......

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

I'm old enough to remember when Nigel Farage would hold a press conference at the drop of a hat.

So why is he now launching his divisive policies in a blog post from the safety of his keyboard?

I can think of 5 million reasons why…

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

I truly pity the brown people in public life who say stuff like this that they of course - and their families! - know is obviously untrue and ridiculous, but they say it anyways because they feel they have to in order to get ahead in racist rightwing spaces as a brown person.

This is a staggering answer by Reform UK’s Leader of Warwickshire Council @_GeorgeFinch.

He’s clueless. He needs to go.

THE THREATS TO UK DEMOCRACY HAVE NEVER BEEN CLEARER!

There is still time for the government to act but there is no time to delay.

The US is slipping fast into dictatorship - and right now - in the UK - we face threats from the same forces that aided Trump. Hostile states like Russia which meddle in our politics, media and social media channels which platform far-right voices and personalities and normalise extremist positions, billionaire political donors and now, the US administration itself.

We must take immediate steps to preserve the integrity of our elections – tackle dark money, disinformation, direct interference and we must take steps to protect against bad actors in government should they gain power by making it harder to unwind our democracy and human rights.

On 29 June an event in Parliament sponsored by Clive Lewis MP, Richard Quigley MP and Roz Savage MP will highlight the importance of immediate action. It will focus on ‘Future Proofing Democracy - Stopping the Far Right through Constitutional Reform.’  

Please take 3 minutes to write to your MP about this important event and ask them to attend on your behalf. They are much more likely to do so if they get letters from constituents like you - you can use the link with this film. It only takes a moment. The future of UK democracy is at stake

What about banning foreign nationals buying Farage another house?

[Power to the People ☭🕊 @ProudSocialist]

“Give them bread and circuses and they will never revolt” refers to the ancient Roman political strategy of placating the masses with free food and lavish entertainment to distract citizens with superficial, immediate gratification rather than addressing fundamental structural issues. Well this is the worst circus I’ve ever seen and none of us can afford groceries so perhaps it’s time to revolt.

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Former Conservative now Reform UK's Suella Braverman on Sky News,

"The institutions, laws, and policies, treat white people less fairly than non-white people"

"We've got to get rid of the Equality Act"

"Unfortunately we currently live in a country if you are non-white you are treated less harshly by the justice system than if you are white"

Across the 11 years Suella Braverman was an MP, her roles included Home Secretary, and Attorney General of England and Wales

Yet throughout that time she never thought to address her current boss, Nigel Farage's claim, that the country is anti white people

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Pete Hegesth, "Obama begged Iran for a deal, we bombed Iran"

"Document says Iran won't have a nuclear weapon, won't seek one, won't buy one"

Journalist, "The JCPOA (Iran deal) did that too"

Hegseth, "We devastated their military"

Imagine celebrating achieving the thing a previous president achieved without killing the 3,000+ Iranians dead since the US/Israel attacks

Then imagine gloating about a blockade in response to the closing of the strait of Hormuz which has caused global economic turmoil as if that is something to celebrate

It's like a scene from Idiocracy
