Guys, we're not sleepwalking into fascism, we're being deliberately and methodically marched into it.

Our prisons are overflowing , yet 5 peaceful protestors have been remanded awaiting sentences for protesting climate breakdown . . . here's a radical idea– stop jailing protestors . They're not the fire , they're raising the alarm ! Thursday @ 4pm Southwark Crown Court

Reform MP James McMurdock was once jailed for attacking his ex-girlfriend, reform were well aware of his conviction. Now imagine this was a Labour MP, the MSM would be called for said MP to be GONE (rightly so). But for some WILD reason it’s absolutely fine when it comes to reform. Now I’m aware we don’t expect much from reform but to have a convicted abuser as your MP, especially with dangerous levels of femicide in the UK right now, it’s appalling. I think this shows a total disregard and lack of care towards women and girls in the UK. You can’t stand for protecting women and young girls when you have a convicted abuser as an MP. End of.

Reform MP James MacMurdock has a conviction and did jail time for attacking his ex-girlfriend. Reform knew about this conviction. These are the twats who claim they want to protect your women and young girls, yet have convicted abuser as an MP. MSM… silent. Reform don’t give a fuck about women and girls clearly. VILE

Ofcourse this would never be the only solution. Years of work to do on the substantive worry not.

THIS DAY in 1936, British Union of Fascists leader Oswald Mosley and 22 followers tried to speak in #Hull to recruit thugs to his cause. They were ran out of town by 10,000 dockers, railwaymen, Jews, Irish, antifascists and union members.

From The Jam , Down in the Tube Station at Midnight - And I'm down in the tube station at midnight I first felt a fist, and then a kick
I could now smell their breath
They smelt of pubs and Wormwood Scrubs
And too many right wing meetings

The extreme Right are very loud rather than very popular. But as long as the media mistake loudness for popularity, the extreme Right will keep getting more airtime than their rivals. That’s not to underestimate the very real frustrations with politics that many of their supporters feel, but it does give us the first very real sign that the march of the Far Right is not as relentless and unstoppable as they would browbeat us into believing. It’ll be hard work and demand full attention, but they CAN be stopped. And that gives me hope.
So, in the end, both France and Britain voted against the far-right. Doesn't mean the threat is gone, but pay attention to the center, center left, green and center right voters who are still the majority in Europe, everywhere except Hungary.

This is the Birmingham I actually live in. This is my real experience, shame a bunch of aggressive divisive idiots sullied it for a while, off they pop.
Scenes at Edgbaston where India are playing Pakistan but people are watching the England game. 2 sets of rival supporters united by their love of England! #PakvsInd #ENGSUI #comeonengland #england
