It is not the working class that is responsible for spreading disinformation about Muslims and migrants. It is men with power and wealth like Elon Musk and Nigel Farage who amplify far-right conspiracy theories.
We must get organised and confront their hateful ideology.
@AnthonyRJoseph Are we in the running for the 'largest bank balance' league title? Go to be close. Will get pumped in europe - again - but, hey, what a balance sheet!
Absolutely insane. Everyone being warned to stay home or travel in groups. Every single person of colour has got a target on their back, and our media and political class are to blame.
if Roger Hallam got 5 years for organising peaceful climate change protests what do these lot get for promoting widespread race riots with arson and looting
Elon Musk says he is a free speech advocate, but is using his social media profile on X to promote far-right disinformation and feed a "frenzy" against immigrants, minorities and Muslims, says Marc Owen Jones, a disinformation expert.
@LostGlasgow Hi I love your posts but am now totally scunnered with the hatred on twitter and am now planning to close my account. Do you post on any other platforms? Thanks
Sorry, but I'm done with twitter. It was bad enough before man-child Musk took over, now it's a cesspit of right wing scum. Lots of alternatives but anyone suggest what may be the best?
@THELA44253326@simply_nomad@GMB@zarahsultana Most of these people were born here. Most of these people, I guess, work harder than the racist scumballs who spend their money on nazi tattoos, beer and chelsea season tickets. I guess they also commit far fewer crimes than your white, aryan kin.
I'm done with twitter.
@zarahsultana Why does he have to ask whether immigration needs to be controlled? Does excess immigration- if that's what is happening- a justification for setting libraries on fire, looting, setting hotels with people in them alight? Balls is part of the problem, along with othe MSM
I blame Farage, I blame Reform, I blame Braverman, I blame GB news I blame the Daily mail... I blame all the far right rhetoric that's been allowed to go unchecked and normalise itself in society
We have allowed fascism to worm it's way back in to the vocal minority

@scottfryer@Keir_Starmer If you move to another country (more difficult since farage-inspired brexit) you will be an immigrant. Would it be OK for the far right in your country of choice to subject you to a lynch mob?
Remember when Gary Lineker said the language on immigration from politicians resembles 1930s Germany? Remember the uproar because it was an absurd comparison apparently?
@NeilMackay@Keir_Starmer Starmer is adding to this English nationalism by posing with his beloved union jack in every pic.
Equating Scottish ''nationalism'- outward looking and inclusive - with the English far-right version is laughable
When politicians demonise migrants, the far right listen.
When they say refugees should be “sent back to where they came from”, the far right listen.
When they complain about asylum seekers staying in hotels, the far right listen.
Let’s promote a message of unity instead.
One that tackles the issues facing us all: the housing crisis, the collapse of our NHS and the disaster of privatisation.
One that gives hope to all communities that a fairer society is possible.
Stand up to racism. Defend refugees. Inspire belief in a better world. That is how you defeat the far right once and for all.
This Is England.
If you live in Scotland and have a vote... Why would you vote to remain part of this, why wouldn't you want to distance yourself from a right-wing country (England), that is ever increasingly becoming far-right.
They're electing people like Farage now ffs.
