Hitler no empezó con campos.
Empezó con:
• Hacer Alemania grande de nuevo
• Prohibir libros
• Atacando a la prensa
• Culpando a los inmigrantes
• Creando enemigos de los vecinos
• Desfinanciando las artes
• Avivando el miedo a los
extranjeros
• Demonizando a los educadores

¿Suena familiar?

The UK had lower immigration before Brexit when it had EU Freedom of Movement.

Farage is to blame for the record high immigration.

The state pension is not a random government favour, it’s the back end of a 35–40 year compulsory “contract” where people are forced to hand over National Insurance on the clear promise of a basic pension at the end.

Politicians and think tanks helped design an unfunded, pay‑as‑you‑go system where today’s workers pay today’s pensioners, then have the gall to call it “unsustainable” as if the public dreamt it up.

If a private firm sold you a retirement product on fixed terms, took your money for four decades, then announced at 66 that you “didn’t really need it” and would henceforth be means‑tested or frozen, they would be in court for mis‑selling and fraud.

The crisis here is not pensioners “leeching off the young”, it’s a political class that built a Ponzi‑style NI system, diverted the proceeds for other spending, and now wants to default on the people who kept their side of the bargain.

You do not blame the victims of a defective product for believing the brochure; you go after the people who wrote it.

Everyone knows Brexit has failed.

Like and retweet if you want YOUR Freedom of Movement back.

Today is a beautiful day!

The UK has officially signed its return to Erasmus+.

A wonderful victory for all who believe in the bond between the UK and EU

Erasmus+ welcomes the UK home

My big news is my PSA is down to 0.03, in other words, nil.
Thank you to all the dedicated professionals at Addenbrookes and Bedford Hospitals who got me here through a combination of radiotherapy and hormone treatment. I'm now 'in remission' with my prostate cancer. Phew

🔥 Rachel Reeves admits what many businesses have been saying for years:

Brexit damaged trade, raised costs and made life harder: especially for smaller firms.

Closer alignment with the European Union isn’t ideology.

It’s economic reality.

The blue slither is Reform MPs.

98.8% of MPs are not Reform

Can someone tell @BBCNews and @bbcquestiontime please?

[terry christian @terrychristian]

Of course they would. Out of 17.4 million who voted leave - only 7 million were economically active ie working. 10 million pensioners ( Lord Ashcroft's exit poll 2016 referendum)

[The Night Warrior @WarriorNight007]

In the early 1990s, while filming Mrs. Doubtfire in San Francisco, Robin Williams made a quiet request.

He asked the crew to hire a few people from a nearby homeless shelter.

No press. No explanation. He didn’t want anyone to know why.

Later, an assistant director revealed that Robin did this on every film. He insisted that at least ten people from shelters be given jobs—catering, cleanup, production help. By the end of his life, nearly 1,500 people had worked because of him.

One man hired on Mrs. Doubtfire said, “He treated me like I’d been there forever. Joked with me every day like we were old friends.”

Robin never talked about it. Others did—after he was gone.

In the late 1980s, after a stand-up show in New York, Robin slipped into a shelter alone. No cameras. He brought pizza, sat on the floor, and listened. One man said later, “He didn’t ask about our mistakes. He asked what made us laugh as kids.”

During Good Will Hunting, he again asked the studio to hire from shelters. One man saved enough to rent an apartment. Robin bought him a suit for job interviews. “Everyone deserves a second act,” he said.

Shelters later discovered large anonymous donations. One Los Angeles shelter only learned the truth when a thank-you letter came back marked “no such address.” A worker recognized the handwriting.

Whoopi Goldberg once said, “He didn’t want applause for helping. He wanted action.”

While filming Patch Adams, Robin visited a shelter in West Virginia carrying boxes of socks, gloves, and coats. When asked why, he smiled and said, “The weather’s turning. Cold doesn’t care if you’re tired.”

Even on tour, he’d walk streets at dawn, handing out coffee and sandwiches. When a guard asked why, Robin replied, “Because this is where people are.”

Robin Williams didn’t perform kindness.

He practiced it—quietly, consistently, without witnesses.

And that may be the greatest role he ever played.

If you believe in turning the EU into the most advanced democracy in the world, you're at the right place.

We stand for the revival of the European civilization, cherishing our culture, and technological progress. Defending our borders, and human rights.

United we rise 🇪🇺

Martin Stanley spot on here. Starmer’s decision on Mandelson is NOT the scandal of the century. Johnson provided several candidates for that:

Now that the media has made a fool of itself over Starmer perhaps they could get around to actually scrutinising Nigel Farage.
- His finances.
- His dubious party funding
- His links to Steve Bannon, Epstein and Russia.
- Who actually paid for his house.

[Damian Low @DamianLow3]

The level of personal hostility directed at Keir Starmer over the last week deserves scrutiny in its own right. Not because he should be immune from criticism, but because the tone and intensity of the attacks tell us something unhealthy about the state of democratic politics.

1. Starmer is a conventional political figure. Cautious, legalistic, incremental. He frustrates people precisely because he is managerial rather than messianic. Yet the reaction to him often goes far beyond disagreement, tipping into visceral hatred more commonly reserved for authoritarians or demagogues.

2. Much of this hostility is disconnected from concrete policy. It is not about specific votes, proposals or outcomes, but about projection. A belief that Starmer embodies betrayal, bad faith or hidden malice. That kind of politics runs on suspicion rather than evidence.

3. This matters because democracy depends on the assumption of good faith among opponents. You can think a leader is wrong, timid, or misguided without believing they are fundamentally illegitimate. Once politics becomes moralised to the point of demonisation, compromise is reframed as treachery and pluralism as weakness.

4. The pattern is familiar. In fragmented, polarised systems, anger concentrates not on extremists, whose intentions are clear, but on moderates, who disappoint maximalists on all sides. The centre becomes the lightning rod precisely because it resists totalising narratives.

5. There is also a media and online dynamic at work. Incentives reward outrage, not proportionality. Algorithms favour contempt over analysis. Over time, this creates a political culture in which relentless personal attack feels normal, even virtuous, rather than disgusting.

6. None of this is a defence of Starmer’s decisions, instincts or record. Those should be argued over robustly as you do in a democracy. The problem is the substitution of critique with hostility and the quiet erosion of democratic norms that follows when political opponents are treated as enemies rather than rivals.

7. A democracy cannot function if every election is framed as an existential struggle against internal evil. At some point, the target may change, but the damage to trust, restraint and culture remains.
