Victoria Derbyshire, "The police did say that a small number of officers were injured and some vehicles were damaged"

Reform UK voter and protestor, "Yeah yeah, well, that's what they say, but I didn't witness it.. It was a bit rowdy, not too bad, there was no violence, no violence"

Victoria Derbyshire, "Why do you think people were wearing balaclavas and masks?"

Reform UK voter and protestor, "I saw a couple, that's about it, no more.. I didn't see em personally, no"

Victoria Derbyshire, "When the government says small boat crossings are down 43% compared to last year, they say, progress is being made"

Reform UK voter and protestor, "I just don't believe it. I've heard so much rubbish over the years. They keep saying: smash the gangs. It's nothing to do with gangs, they're no gangs. The government are allowing this, for some reason or another and I can't understand why"

"I can't understand why you'd want unvetted fighting aged men in this country, I just cant get me head around it"

They do not believe anything that challenges what they already want to believe.

Police officers injured? “That’s what they say.”

Vehicles damaged? “I didn’t see it.”

People in masks? “Only a couple.”

Small-boat crossings down 43%? “I don’t believe it.”

Criminal gangs? “There are no gangs.”

It is not scepticism. It is simply rejecting every fact that gets in the way of a pre-written story - and then describing human beings as "fighting-age men" to make fear and hostility seem reasonable.

@RobertGeish @Bushra1Shaikh Guess it's also time for the US to give up Puerto Rico, Guam, the US Virgin Islands, Samoa and the rest by that logic.
If we want to follow Argentinas claim to the Falklands (where 1513/1518 votes were to stay part of the UK) then it would also mean that the US is owned by Spain.

@PeterShoreite This hits even harder when you zoom out

@Free_Soul_Mia @TheMercianNews How'd that work out for you last time?

[V E S P E R @V_E_S_P_]

Spain piss off Israel > Ceuta
Invasion.

UK pisses off Israel > Threat of Falklands war.

They are evil vindictive toddlers with a god complex.

This week Israel vowed to “retaliate” against Britain over sanctions. The US and Argentina immediately piled on over the Falklands. Pure coincidence I’m sure. Any fake “patriots” cheering these Zionist countries’ attacks on your own nation are traitors.

FALKLANDS ARE BRITISH 🇬🇧

White racists said stuff like this about Yusuf’s parents when they moved to the UK from Sri Lanka in the 1980s but now their son, who isn’t white, but wants the votes of white racists, is saying stuff like this about Somali immigrants.

Truly disgusting.

if a muslim politician said this they would be impeached and removed from office immediately

The most consistent theme of conservatism is being completely unable/unwilling to understand how a thing is bad until it happens to you.

Show this clip to anyone who says Iran is run by religious lunatics.

Los 65.000 millones de barriles de petróleo venezolano, sobre los que EEUU ha tomado el control, valen 6 billones de dólares.

54 veces el PIB anual de Venezuela.

Es el mayor robo de la historia y parece que a nadie le importa. Es increíble.

LBC caller Andy:

“The silence on Middlesbrough is deafening.”

9 people killed! 2 serving policemen dead.

A little girl of 7 years old burned alive.

Gang warfare.

Extra police flooding in.

No “pure, cold rage” from Farage. No Reform roadshow.

That phrase only comes out when the offenders look a certain way.

Thieving bastards.

Guaranteed these kids have parents who blame immigrants for all their issues

Trump reported a staggering 1,051 trades in his June financial disclosure. Here are two of the more curious ones:

— June 18: Bought $250K–$500K in Boeing, the same day the Navy awarded Boeing an $880 million contract for P-8A training systems.

— June 23: Bought $15K–$50K in SpaceX, the same day NASA recorded a $425.6 million award to SpaceX.

Still blows my mind that the guy on the left gets more hate than the guy on the right.

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

What a difference a month makes..

Credit for jumping ship when you become the target of Reform UK's cut to disability support when you're in receipt of some of that support.

Just a shame that the general hate and division of Reform UK wasn't enough to leave in the first place.
