This is not what I voted for and I do not support it.
I’ve had nothing to do with Sky since 2020 thank goodness. I’d have to be paid to watch their so-called news.
Yes, please.
We said Never Again That means Never Again for everyone #gaza #Palestine #refugees #ice #deportation
I hope they are remanded, ridiculous behaviour from presumably grown men.
My thoughts are that this is not America and these ICE fantasists should receive the full force of the law.
Who do they think they are, ICE?
Yes, it is.
How do you know they haven’t claimed asylum?
STOP TALKING ABOUT ThE EPSTEIN FILES!
There’s no way he wrote that.
That’s a great way to persuade people to be vegan.
Pray for the dead and fight like hell for the living.
We had Apusskiduski about sardines swimming (I think Swedish), Land of the Silver Birch (1920s Canadian folk song) and other folk songs that were on a BBC children’s radio programme once a week. Kalinka was in there so it wasn’t all British imperialism. This was about 1978-79.
Then I’ll cancel my direct debit again and they’ll send threatening letters again and so it goes.
I’ve sent them a complaint.
There have been protests in Aberdeen and Perth in Scotland and Mold in Wales. Flags aside, this isn’t only an English problem.
I thought people with a criminal record couldn’t visit the US. How times change.
I’ve complained to the BBC about their coverage.
Why are the BBC promoting his rants and ramblings?
I’m going to do the same, I never watch it.
Social media is objectively bad for mental health. I deactivated Facebook weeks ago.
Are you incapable of self-regulation or moderation of your language? If I wanted ad hominem attacks I’d still be on Twitter. It’s Saturday morning FFS. Hwyl fawr!
The motive behind these flags isn’t patriotism. It’s intimidation.
I notice it, but I’m not enraged by it. I’m enraged by the motives behind hanging flags near hotels where people seeking asylum seekers are living. I hope you’d call that out if it was a Welsh flag as well.
I know Wales isn’t represented in the union flag - Act of Union 1536, union flag 1606. I’m not keen on flags, patriotism, or nationalism full stop. I think history has shown us they’re divisive. But that’s a separate matter.
Don’t worry, the all-white settlement in Wales will have their own flag. Probably. I’m well aware that England isn’t the UK, although I’m not entirely sure the far-right are.
Yes - othering, dehumanising. Like calling people seeking asylum “asylum seekers.”
They’ll probably have their own flag.
Sorry to say www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

As someone pointed out last week: The total of asylum seekers in hotels is 30,000 Wembley stadium fits 90,000. so imagine a 2/3 empty Wembley. That’s the amount of people Farage and Robinson use to gaslight a nation. They tell the story as if it was millions.
@yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social you do not speak for me.
No it hasn’t.
I would have thought the same but I’ve used it recently.
The second one is openly asking for information though. It’s inciting violence (with a disclaimer)
It’s terrorism to hold a piece of cardboard but people have “every right” to do this, says the Shadow Home Secretary: www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
Migration Observatory is an academic source based at the University of Oxford. I use it for work.
“ChatGPT, rewrite this in the style of a Donald Trump Tweet” was used.
I hope Starmer has him first in line for conscription in Ukraine.
Spaz is a derogatory word for spastic, historically used to describe people with cerebral palsy.
Thanks for explaining. It’s considered extremely offensive in the UK, in case you’re interested in looking it up.
Can you explain what you mean by “spaz out”?
Every day the world presents you with the wrong battles, designed to waste your energy so you don't fight the right ones.
Something to remember always 👇
Not since Happy Valley Series 3.
It’s better to cancel the licence, I don’t think petitions do anything.
I’m cancelling my TV licence if they are going to apologise for stating objective facts. I thought he was all for freedom of speech, seems not.
Yep.
Noted.
and bailed.
Out on bail, as I expected.
Apparently Yaxley-Lennon wasn’t fleeing, he had “work commitments abroad” and just happened to hospitalise someone on the way to the airport.
I think he has a EU passport, Irish mother. I’m sure there are legal powers to stop someone leaving the country when they have committed an offence and I’m unsure why they weren’t used.
Me too.
That’s exactly what I was thinking. Why does he get to commit crimes and leave the country?
www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
I blocked him a couple of days ago. He seemed argumentative.
💙
Yes
I missed the part where it defies logic or mathematics.
44,000 more people than live in Scotland?
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, Marius, but I’m fairly certain you’re going to Hell.
Marius has a bio that clearly states he is not here to argue. I suggest we all go along with his deeply held Christian 🙄 beliefs and ignore his argumentative posts. Personally speaking, I’m blocking him.
Si. Addio. Non passeranno! auf nimmer Wiedersehen.
Your bio says you’re not here to argue.
Farage doesn’t like grooming gangs. He’s said that 980,000 times.
It was on the news last night that people in Scotland should refrain from calling 999 as the police have all been drafted in to protect Trump.
Ciao. Tschüss. Non passeranno!
Forget about what year it is. What century is it? nashvillebanner.com/2025/07/20/d...
I can confirm this works.
Oswald Mosley went to prison. Just saying.
Distracting from ICE?
It should be, but it depends on the politician.
As a child in the 70s I knew fine well about the lynching of Black Americans.
Noticing when people are trying to create harm is a useful skill.
It must be pretty terrifying being in an asylum hotel with a mob of people outside.
It sounds as though she might be in possession of some sensitive information.
The UK is “currently” training IDF soldiers in the UK though. Scotland is part of the UK unless there is another independence referendum, which there should be.
Where would you go to live? Hypothetically.
I’m interested in what that support will look like.
With the greatest of respect, and as someone who has only ever claimed child benefit, Oldham is a particularly poor town. The manufacturing sector has gone. The prevalence of people with severe disabilities is high. Waiting lists for medical support are long.
1. Have you ever worked in Oldham? 2. Are you disabled? 3. I can say yes to both. 4. Can you?
With respect, I don’t think you’ve ever been to Oldham or realise the level of poverty in @debbieabrahamsmp.bsky.social’s constituency.
We live in the UK and the government is participating in the Gaza genocide but I don’t support it. I haven’t left the country, but that doesn’t mean I am complicit in the genocide. I didn’t leave the UK during the Iraq war, but I was not complicit in the genocide.
Do not be fooled by Humza Yousaf.
I’d like to know the difference between a grooming gang in the UK and Epstein Island, Nigel.
Some Israelis are opposing the genocide and tearing up their conscription cards.
I voted Remain from Lancashire.
Incitement. Arrest him.
Neither do I.
Not all Welsh, not all English.
House prices and rent in all the towns on the tram network have shot up as well.
One arrest.
If you feel you can do the drive, go.
