Fascism has arrived.
Dress it up with whatever language you like, but when you have masked men, dressed in a uniformal order, attacking people on the street based on skin colour, any argument about concerned citizens or frustrations about government are redundant. We are here.
“why waste expensive teachers on povvy kids when we can just stick them in front of the machine that gets everything wrong, completely fuck their education up then force them into workfare for the rest of their lives”
‘You would compare what’s happening in Gaza to the Holocaust?’
@Lewis_Goodall rejects Hasan Piker's ‘crass and offensive’ comments comparing Jews to Nazis.
If this does not get the EHRC guidance scrapped, I don't know what will.
The UK needs to stop bowing to gender criticals and start protecting trans people fully.
Trans women are women, trans men are men.
“I don’t give a shit what your system is, what does it mean for the river?”
I genuinely never thought I would have to challenge the British state in order to protect the river I love, but here we are. Massive thanks to Channel 4 for spending so much time & care in detailing the incredible work done by volunteer river guardians on the River Roding: I am going to use the description of us descending on litter like a “squadron of community-minded locusts” again!
Whilst I no longer shocked at the indifference of public bodies like the EA & local councils to the desperate plight of our rivers, it has genuinely surprised me that @EnvAgency thinks it is a good use of their powers to prosecute volunteers for doing their job for them by restoring rivers, especially when there are serious illegal sewage discharges nearby that they have done nothing about. Please withdraw your prosecution threats EA & work with us instead. The Roding could genuinely be a test case in how government & river guardians can work together to protect & restore our rivers.

the reason why Palestine isn’t being seen anymore because there’s barely any journalists left. 20% of Lebanon is now under Israeli occupation. 12 million people have been displaced in Sudan. Over 25 million people are facing acute hunger in Congo. Don’t stop talking.
Genocide is not just the destruction of human life. It is also the eradication of heritage. If you swim down in that water near the Christian quarter and you see mosaics.
Tyre was one of the most important cities in the ancient world. Israel is, in essence, bombing Rome.
The Soho Society is part of the anti fun lobby.
Young people in the UK can't afford homes, they can't find jobs, and because of organisations like the Soho Society, they can't even get a drink.
The anti-fun lobby has too much power.
So, we did something about it. 👇
The new grift has begun, and it looks like there could be riots outside Southampton Police station this evening because Tommy Robinson has told his supporters to go there at 6 pm.
The police officers need to be fully investigated. Henry was dying in front of them, telling them that he couldn't breathe and that he had been stabbed, yet they appeared not to take his condition seriously. You can clearly hear him struggling to speak as they repeatedly asked for his name. It was only later that the female officer noticed his eyes.
#OnThisDay 1963: The BBC revealed the most cut-throat, unforgiving, vicious rivalry the world has ever seen - the folk of Jersey and the people of Guernsey.
@JohnAdams978716@RuariJM Someone says quite early on that he has blood in his mouth. That should have been their prompt to do something other than lie him down and handcuff him.
Take a slave owner or residential school founder’s name off a street or remove a statue and there’ll be endless screaming about preserving history. But when Israel destroys Tyre - older than all European capitals - in Lebanon and destroys ancient monuments it’s silence.
The seizing of Lebanon’s Beaufort Castle by Israeli troops is much more than the capture of one of the country’s most well known historic landmarks. It was first taken by the Israeli military in 1982, held for 18 years, and withdrawn from in 2000. Now that it’s again under Israeli control is tragically symbolic for many Lebanese - and the Israeli PM is making it clear here he intends to hold onto this Leb territory and go further 🧵
