If Channel 4 is successful in bringing down both Reform UK and Tommy Robinson, we're going to have to ask some very difficult questions about the BBC, and why its news team failed to use its resources to investigate, scrutinise and challenge the far right, in the way Channel 4 has.
Apparently flags are brilliant when they’re your flags.
Union Jacks everywhere? Patriotism.
LGBTQ+ flag? “Why are they shoving it in our faces?”
Caribbean flags? “This isn’t Jamaica.”
Pakistan flag? “Disgraceful.”
Funny how quickly “pride in your identity” becomes unacceptable when someone else does it.
Just Stop Oil block a road: “Lock them up!”
Pro-Palestine protesters cause disruption: “Lock them up!”
Dover protesters block access to a major port: “They’re patriots!”
Funny how the principles change.
Personally, I’m absolutely positive that what the UK needs now is a government backed largely by elderly white people who dress up as the Battle of Agincourt, believe shit they see on FB and attack hecklers with their walking sticks. China must be laughing its bloody head off.
It was revealed that Dolly Parton was secretly battling cancer but she didn't say anything and instead released this song as one of her last to raise funds for children with cancer. Even while she was sick she was still thinking about others. I’m absolutely devastated.
If those five "joyriders" were Black or Brown, Nigel Farage would've held a press conference calling for pure, cold rage.
Tommy Robinson would've been non-stop tweeting about it & calling for their deportation.
They would've said it was two-tier policing because the police abandoned the chase.
I think there is a genuine pressure in modern politics to treat every issue as a team sport. Once you've picked a jersey, you're expected to defend every position your side takes and reject every position the other side takes.
So apparently Muslims have gone from “throwing gays off buildings” and pathological anti-Semitism, to forcing their wives to vote for a party led by a gay Jewish man. Very normal discourse!
If someone briefs you about “family voting” and claims there’s election fraud, it’s your job to scrutinise and verify those claims, not uncritically regurgitate them.
Cc: every mainstream journalist
Call me cynical, but I simply don’t believe that Muslims (who are being predominantly accused of ‘family voting’), were lining up to desperately vote for Matt Goodwin and the Reform Party, and the only thing that stopped them doing so was being coerced at the voting booth. 😂
Tommy Robinson wants donations as he now considers himself a refugee. Weird how it’s ok for him to ask for help but not real refugees running from war or famine. What backwards bullshit is this?
So Stephen Yaxley-Lennon is a man of fighting age trying to relocate his entire family to a foreign country and is also looking for financial handouts?
I thought that was literally everything he was against 🤷♂️
