Two of the journalists explained that they’d been sent a dossier about me from Conservative party HQ, which had either deliberately or inadvertently been attached to an email.

The Tories are slowly cranking up the heat on lawyers and judges who attempt to protect us from them, and it'll likely work as well as with any other group they stir up hate against.

Straight out the Trump/Johnson playbook. Make the environment so febrile and hostile over a prolonged period of time that the decent folk go 'f**k this', jack it in, and you have manufactured/manipulated a more subservient and amenable cohort by stealth.

See the Tory party from 2017 - 2019, although I accept 'decent folk' is stretching it.

Aye, they're apparently struggling with election officials across America right now - so many are giving up because it's not worth the harassment they're experiencing, which is exactly what people like Trump want; get rid of the Boy Scouts and replace them with corruptibles who'll help the system fall apart.

The Tories are a bit behind on this, but they'll get there once they start losing.

I see that people who have never once given a single f**k about food poverty before are up in arms about it now that refugees on a prison ship have access to some cereal. 

Hilarious how the message is genuinely 'starve asylum seekers' rather than 'feed children', but that's the Heil through and through.

How long before the inevitable, "following recent events, we regret to announce that GBNews has parted company with Alexander Boris De Pfeffel Johnson, effective immediately"?

I'm guessing he'll make a c**t of it roughly two months before the next election.

"There is a special place in hell reserved for people who exploit the pain of others – and it’s becoming very crowded. It’s filling up with those who look at the war between Israel and Hamas, and the grief and fear it prompts in the hearts of Jews and Muslims especially, and see not tragedy but opportunity – a chance to advance their own interests.

Early to rush in was Suella Braverman, who is determined to be the hard right’s candidate to succeed Rishi Sunak. Her chosen playbook is the one authored by Donald Trump and Steve Bannon, the tactic simple: pick a culture war issue that drives people apart, and crown yourself as head of one of the two warring camps. That’s why she said multiculturalism had failed, that Britain faced a “hurricane” of migration and that homelessness was a lifestyle choice – each one of those provocations designed to make her the standard-bearer of nationalist populism in the UK."

The BBC describing these vermin as "counter-protesters" really is a fucking disgrace.

Call them what they are - fucking Nazis.

Its an utter disgrace and this balance thing is in complete disrepute.

The false equivalence between decent world citizens and those that would stoop to the gutter of Cable Street is disgusting.
