DONATE TO THE RNLI TODAY. THEY'RE HEROES.
🚨 Posts on @X & Telegram have circulated names, photos, and at least one address of @RNLI crew from a recent Portsmouth rescue, leading to reports of intimidation and family distress.
Defective, radicalised, far-right men openly refer to these brave RNLI heroes as "traitors".
The X account below is run by Ryan Ferguson, a far-right shit-stirring "content creator" from the Liverpool area.
He uses TikTok and YouTube to spread his divisive hate, describes himself as a nationalist, and posts frequently about immigration, asylum hotels, and related protests.
Local reporting describes him as a former football hooligan with convictions including racially aggravated offences and wasting police time; he later became a visible figure at anti-migrant demonstrations in the North West.
These broken far-right men are already ruining lives: without urgent action, they are going to get someone killed.
It makes me fucking sick to see people like Zia Yusuf nodding along to what the organisers of these unlawful masked protests have got to say, while Rupert Lowe sings their praises.
What a fucking country we've become where senior political figures can normalise racism, use dangerously irresponsible dehumanising bigoted rhetoric almost daily, and praise intimidating masked vigilantes wearing militaristic uniforms reminiscent of Oswald Mosley's fascist blackshirts.
Did they learn nothing from history? Or are they themselves just bigoted, radicalised extremists who have far more in common with the actual Nazis than any of us want to believe?
Maybe Rupert Lowe, Zia Yusuf, Danny Tammo, Tommy Robinson and all the British far-right masked men blocking roads genuinely don’t know that in WWII, many British people and foreign-born allies died fighting against a regime which:
- embraced the ideology of ethnic nationalism
- treated migration as an existential threat
- pushed a story of national decline caused by 'outsiders' and a disloyal indigenous 'elite'
- claimed their own culture was superior to others
- treated ideological opponents as "traitors"
- scapegoated a visible out-group
- deployed street mobilisation to intimidate fellow citizens and force the state’s hand
- had a stated preference for authoritarian order and expulsion over liberal democracy and individual rights
- embraced conspiracy thinking around race 'replacement' and who is 'really' opening the borders.
Sound familiar?

Farage and Reform UK are in deep trouble. However, after 3 days, @Verbatim_Media's 37 minute video of their extraordinary year-long undercover investigation into Reform UK's illegal foreign donations has only got 161k views. It should have several million.
So please repost this and then share the video.

It’s deeply disturbing that this story has had so little attention since yesterday morning. Far right people dressed in what appears to be a paramilitary uniform shut our busiest port - totally shocking.
@ShabanaMahmood
must make a statement to the House of Commons tomorrow.
Hundreds of demonstrators dressed in black and wearing balaclavas blocked the streets around Dover earlier today, shouting 'stop the boats' in what the Port of Dover described as a 'public order incident'.
The protest seemed to take the police by surprise and intimidated residents.
The demonstrators were eventually escorted to the railway station. It appears an anti-immigration group with links to the far right have claimed responsibility for the demonstration.

So, basically… those “independent” polls that helped create the headlines about Reform surging? Reform had commissioned them and undercover reporters secretly funded them through a US company.
Telegraph ran with them. Lol
And Farage apparently thought the polling was “amazing” because, in his words, “it worked.”
.... tell us again how everyone else is the establishment?!?!
Nigel Farage and other senior members of Reform UK have been filmed by undercover reporters celebrating secret new foreign donations.
Channel 4 News and @Verbatim_Media, a group of investigative journalists, can today reveal a plot to break the law on party funding at the highest levels of Reform UK.
You can watch the full investigation here: youtu.be/aXut3s90rUI
Channel 4 News approached Reform UK, Mr Farage, Mr Jukes and Mr Orr for comment on the findings of this investigation. They did not comment but we understand they deny the allegations in full.

- Small boat arrivals 40% down from peak
- Foreign worker registrations at a 20-year low
- Remigration (foreign nationals leaving) at all-time high of 1,000 a day
It's quite a story. So why will no one in Labour tell it?

The Greens views are most in line with the British public, and reform the least.
However reform are most likely to think their views match the majority.
This is because the media try and pretend it’s the other way round at the behest of the billionaires.
Reform UK voters, and to a lesser extent the Tories, are substantially more likely to think they hold the most common public view across several topics that our survey suggests is not the case, most notably:
-2024 rioters
-Transgender status
-Bregret
-Business regulation
-Covid lockdowns
-Israel-Palestine
-Donald Trump

Unpopular fact: Labour are solving Britain’s immigration issues.
Before you try to argue against that, go and look at the data.
Since Labour came into power:
Net immigration: ↓ 74%
Small boat arrivals: ↓ 44%
Asylum seekers in hotels: ↓ 46%
And continuing this trend.
Perhaps we don’t need a load of self-serving grifters being voted in next time around after all?

Instead of funneling billions to its terrorist proxy, Israel, and 750 bases, this failing empire could spend that cash on its own people, but nah, that'd make too much sense for this regime.
Scotty, man [?], your credibility is on the line. Do something.

China offers a striking example of what a country can accomplish when it puts economic development and poverty reduction at the center of national policy.
Over the past few decades, hundreds of millions of Chinese people,roughly 400 million,have been lifted from poverty into a more secure middle-class existence.
Instead of spending unlimited resources fighting wars across the globe, China has invested heavily in infrastructure, education, healthcare, manufacturing, and economic development at home.
Whatever criticisms one may have of China’s government, that achievement is impossible to dismiss.
Bringing hundreds of millions of people out of poverty is a far more meaningful measure of national strength than occupying foreign countries or dropping bombs halfway around the world.
The contrast with the United States is increasingly uncomfortable.
America has spent enormous sums on wars and military interventions while millions of its own citizens struggle with unaffordable healthcare, inadequate infrastructure, educational inequality, and economic insecurity.
Washington often behaves as though maintaining influence everywhere is more important than improving life at home.
That is not strength.
It is insecurity disguised as foreign policy.
A truly confident nation does not need to fight endless wars simply to prove that it remains relevant.
It invests in its people, builds its economy, educates its children, keeps its citizens healthy, and creates opportunities for the next generation.
China’s greatest strategic achievement is not its military power at all, it is the transformation of the lives of hundreds of millions of its own citizens.
Perhaps America should stop asking, "How do we remain dominant everywhere?" and start asking the much more important question:
"What are we actually doing for our own people?"

Craig Guildford's crime was to suggest Maccabi Tel Aviv's psychotic, racist fans should not be inflicted on the people of Birmingham.
Destroying his life and career was not enough apparently. He must be made an example of.

I'm an atheist so I've got plenty of reasons to criticise Islam, and the ways in which it is practiced in some countries and communities. But what is happening now is not criticism. It is a campaign of fascist hate and lies copied straight from the Nazi propaganda manual, which is being promoted by Russia and its fascist puppets in the West. It's goals are to present far-right parties as our defenders against an entirely fictional Islamist invasion, and to distract from the attack on our democracy and freedom by Russia and its Western allies and tools. – at Brighton, England

Reform UK are now telling the UK we need to all get married to be deserving of housing.
It’s like being lectured by a crooked priest.
Tice got divorced after he cheated on his wife.
Farage has been divorced once, and has separated from his second wife.
Lee Anderson is divorced.
There is no shame in divorce, or being single, or being in a same sex partnership. Ignore Reform.
Hypocrisy thy name is Reform.
Richard Tice has insisted that "marriage is a great thing" and the party is not wrong to prioritise couples over single parents for social housing. | @realBenBloch
