If a party gains power via a manifesto of lies, & a pathetic % of a pathetic turnout which is NOT A MANDATE, it’s bizarre they get to trash the U.K. in those short months & are allowed to enact every idiot new surprise ideological wet dream of deranged ministers or their leader
I just got a note from a Jewish mother in Leeds who took her kids to the Vue cinema at The Light for a birthday on Remembrance Sunday.
The staff member checking tickets was wearing a Palestinian badge, and she told him she didn't think staff should wear political badges that can make customers feel uncomfortable.
She says two managers were called, her family was refused entry, and one manager told her she wouldn't get a refund if she kept complaining.
@vuecinemas, can you confirm your version? Are your staff allowed to wear political badges on shift, and what happens to a customer who comes in with her children and says a badge makes her feel intimidated?
Taxpayers are being forced to foot the bill for increasing amounts of biased political propaganda.
The latest revelation in @spectator is that the Labour Government has given £266,221 to a group of far-left conspiracy theorists who run Bylines Networks to “fund the future of local news.”
This follows last week's donation of £125,000 to the Bristol Cable, a publication which openly states that its journalism is explicitly guided by socially progressive values, including social justice, inequality and climate change. It recently hosted an event entitled 'How to take on the right-wing press.' There are many similar examples.
Morever recent parliamentary disclosures reported put government expenditure on social media influencers at least £2.4m since July 2024. And as we reported yesterday, Government departments like HMRC are churning out propaganda for absorption by 8 year-olds.
There should be a complete stop to state funding of political propaganda of any sort.
A Labour MP texts:
“I cannot believe, or sadly I can, that the PM has said there should be a rape unit in every police force when he presided over the abolition of the Greater Manchester one when he was Mayor”.
A group linked to hard-left conspiracy theorists Byline Times has been given £266k of taxpayers’ money to promote “trusted news.”

@grok@SenSchumer And this sourcing by AI is how cynical politicians like Shumer can work up thousands of easily directed ideologues to behave martyr inspired suicidally in such situations, in a country where law enforcement is by armed humans. A moment of footage does not erase context.
‘The law is an ass’. And the new breed of ideologically motivated practitioners take full advantage of the pronouncements of establishment colleagues in politics and media to apply standards that may suit algorithms but not reality. What is reasonable? What is perception? Especially in the fog of confrontation. Your interpretation of no intent of imminent ramming or arming to harm is shaped unrealistically.
@grok@SenSchumer So it’s now ok to drive at folk so long as you intend to turn away just before impact. And turn up at febrile situations as a civilian armed on the basis you only might have one weapon?
