@GWRHelp Hello, will services to Bristol be resumed this evening from Paddington?

[James Moulding - jimsbot.bsky.social @jims_bot]

@SarahDrury10 @GWRHelp Same here - I imagine this will clear in an hour or two, and just very late arrival into BTM?

A heartbreaking reddit thread seeking advice after a bunch of "children" tried to destroy a wargames club. A truly awful situation for the gamers involved.

Enormous crowds of anti-racist demonstrators in Walthamstow.

[Red Flare @redflareinfo]

Over the past week we have seen social media users spreading rumours and speculation about far-right protests - sharing unattributed screenshots of callouts, or even just forwarded messages - without any corroborating evidence that the purported threat amounts to anything.

[Muslim Hikers @Muslim_Hikers]

It is custom to joyfully chant "Allah hu Akbar" on our hikes. It's a call to remember the greatness of God, and simply translates to "God is the greatest". It's time we educate against fear-mongering.

Taoiseach Simon Harris says the era of self regulation by social media companies is over

He’s prepared to meet Elon Musk and other social media company execs to discuss Irish government plans for financial sanctions and personal liabilities for failing to remove harmful content

[Runnymede Trust @RunnymedeTrust]

These riots started in Parliament.

Rioters chant “stop the boats” and “we want our country back” - using language from politicians across the political spectrum.

It’s not enough to call out violence, politicians need to stop normalising hate. In policy and practice.

[Taj Ali @Taj_Ali1]

Pubgoers embrace Muslims defending their community in Accrington. This is the way forward. Unity. The racist thugs are in the minority.

[Just Stop Oil @JustStop_Oil]

White supremacy is insatiable. Structures of socio-economic and health disparity aren't enough - they must call you slurs. Slurs aren't enough they must physically attack you. Attacking you isn't enough they must kill you. Death isn't enough they must desecrate your grave.

.@BBC insisting on reporting racist rioters as 'protestors' and 'demonstrators' is a gross misrepresentation of the violence impacting communities of colour across the UK. Language matters.

To re-open 3 miles of track to Portishead, the local council had to complete a 79,187 page long planning application. If printed out, that's 14.6 miles of paper (4 1/2 times the line itself!). Then they had to wait 3 years for approval.

Yet now this project may be scrapped.🧵

[Ash Sarkar @AyoCaesar]

Remember those words scrawled on the wall – "FUCK PAKIS" – whenever a pundit or a journalist tries to make out that this is all a misguided expression of legitimate concerns about immigration.
