@ZoeJardiniere@BaronRodrigo2 Here speaks someone who has no idea whatsoever how a taser actually works!! Hes NOT incapacitated and he still has a knife in his hand. Police can use whatever force is reasonable in the circumstances, they will have to justify it post inc but will have no problem doing that here
Not my usual taste in music but the fact this is going to annoy Trump and the rest of the MAGA clowns is making this all the more enjoyable 😁#SuperBowl
I honestly can’t hold this in anymore.
Donald Trump and Nigel Farage are not aberrations. They are the same project, running in two countries, with the same backers, the same tactics, and the same end goal.
Both wrap themselves in flags while looting the country they claim to love. Both posture as champions of “ordinary people” while serving billionaire interests. Both scream about morality, family values, and patriotism while embodying corruption, cruelty, and hypocrisy at a scale that would have ended any serious political career a generation ago.
Trump has been found liable for sexual assault. He has a documented history of misogyny, racism, and outright contempt for the rule of law. He is repeatedly linked to Epstein’s circle, praised authoritarian strongmen, undermined democratic institutions, and treated public office like a personal cash machine.
Farage plays the same game in a British accent. He gets a free pass despite his proximity to the same toxic networks, the same culture-war opportunism, the same pattern of scandal that would destroy anyone else. Reform isn’t a grassroots movement. It’s a fear-driven marketing operation, propped up by billionaire money, bot-amplified engagement, and relentless misinformation.
Immigrants. Minorities. “Woke elites.” Trans people. The EU. The media. There’s always a target, always a threat, always someone to blame. Not because it’s true, but because fear is profitable. Fear keeps people angry, distracted, and voting against their own economic interests.
And that’s the real point. While people argue about flags and pronouns, vast amounts of wealth continue to move upwards. Away from workers. Away from public services. Away from communities. Straight into the hands of donors, allies, family members, and friendly corporations. Deregulation. Tax cuts. Asset stripping. Corruption dressed up as populism.
The most grotesque part is the hypocrisy. The people who claim to care about faith, family, freedom, and national pride are cheering for men who violate all of it openly. Lying, cheating, assaulting, scapegoating, enriching themselves, and laughing while they do it.
This isn’t about left vs right anymore. It’s about whether we’re willing to admit what this actually is. A billionaire-funded con that feeds on fear, corrodes democracy, and treats ordinary people as expendable.
If this is what you’re still defending, then stop pretending it’s about values. At least be honest about what you’re supporting.
@MarkHertling@RadioFreeTom@NicolleDWallace@sethmoulton Watched that all and cant understand why so many republicans are standing idly by while your democracy is being torn up- the world is watching in hope that they wake up ....
Never again wonder why Russia was willing to spend billions getting Trump into office.
Sadly, the Brits STILL don't understand it's all happening again with Farage.
@colinsutton Sorry Colin , EVERYONE knows why he decided to be 'unwell' and miss the interview- he didnt want to be in the situation where he was forced to either criticise his hero Trump or appear unpatriotic.... do you take us all as fools!? Any respect I had for you has gone
@policecommander Noticed the influx of bots attacking your posts lately.... however im concerned and annoyed at the number of UK based police accounts that I know are genuine but posting (& reposting) posts from obvious far right (fascist) US groups in a mistaken display of solidarity with ICE😡
@NormanBrennan@Keir_Starmer Sorry Norman but any respect I had for you has gone out the window- how dare you compare UK police to these thugs!! i have served for over 20 years and done active military service before that & i have zero in common with ICE and what they represent and I never will! Disgraceful
Worrying that a uk based police account would take this attitude tbh... its clear to anyone with half a brain what is happening in the USA right now...
Think 1930s Germany, its all right out of the NAZI playbook!
ICE agent who shot a woman in Minneapolis had previously been seriously injured after being dragged 100 yards by Roberto Munoz, a man previously convicted of sexually assaulting a minor.
He wasn't allowing that to happen again.

@InspGadgetBlogs Good grief. That’s your take on this?
He murdered her. And nothing that happened in his past - however terrible - can even begin to excuse or justify that.
(And the implication re: his mental state only raises the Q of why the hell he was carrying a firearm in the first place.)
