Political account of an otherwise normal human. (Social) Liberal. @LibDems Member. I block bigots liberally too.

This will be my last post on here.
If you'd like to join me in the X-odus, you can find me on Bluesky, which is a very similar platform, with fewer bigots, and a critical mass of news & political commentary.

Given the criminal failure by @X to moderate, & owner @elonmusk's deliberate signal boosting of the far-right, I will be leaving the platform after 15 years.
I hoped that we could maintain the community we had - but @X is now a neo-Nazi propaganda platform #BoycottX#BoycottElon

These are just some of the tweets that were put out by GB News presenter Darren Grimes in the run up to the general election.
The same channel that is now accusing the left of inflaming racial tensions in the UK

"Holiday Inn's for Holidays" remember?
"The people of Tamworth want their Hotel back"
You incited this 5 days ago, casual doxxing, dogwhistle racism.
Fascists arrived.
Stop the duplicity. Labour politicians shouldnt be engaging in dogwhistle racism. Apologise, Resign.
I wonder whether Gary Lineker will say that some of the language that he's hearing coming from the rioters reminds him of the language used in Nazi Germany and if he does say that, presumably he'll be told how wrong he is.
@NicolaAdamsOBE Disappointing that you're throwing two colleagues under the bus in order to court adulation from racists, sexists, homophobes, and middle-aged conservative white folk with nothing better to do than fixate on the genitalia of successful athletes of colour.
Enjoy your new friends.
@chiefchimpanzee@LaylaMoran I *think* Layla meant what she said - that the neo-Nazis don't represent the people of the UK, and that racism isn't welcome in modern Britain.
I'm grateful for the hopeful perspective as I'm not feeling too hopeful myself.
Feeling a bit smug in Scotland than weโve not had race riots? Just have a look under pretty much any tweet from Humza Yousaf and stop feeling smug. We have a big problem with racism and Islamophobia in Scotland and itโs foolish and counterproductive to ignore that.
A community is still in mourning after the horrific killing of 3 little girls, but some are using this grief to further their own ends.
These violent thugs do not represent our country. They do not speak for us.
Remember when Gary Lineker said the language on immigration from politicians resembles 1930s Germany? Remember the uproar because it was an absurd comparison apparently?
