This is why it's so important for the UK and other European countries to have strong guards against US govt interference in our democracies.

The Trump governement is diving directly into throwing cash at a political takeover of Europe. And they are very serious about it.

Olympia, 1934- the Blackshirts first mass gathering.

Carefully stage-managed, but still, when Mosley entered with huge pomp & fanfare and began to speak, he was booed & heckled.

A few incredibly brave antifascists had got in

They were savagely beaten by blackshirt thugs.

J’ai la nausée en voyant ce résultat en Allemagne. Un parti d’extrême droite gangrené par des mouvances néonazies, identitaires et pro-russes arrive en tête, et certains font encore semblant de ne pas voir le danger.

Les leçons du passé ? Visiblement, une partie de l’Europe les a déjà oubliées.

Pensée sincère aux Allemands qui refusent cette dérive et qui vont devoir vivre avec ça. Quelle époque de merde.
