Yes, the liar in chief, brexit goon doing what he does best: lies.
Paul Caton (@paulcato.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah. More despicable lies from the brexiter in chief. But until the establishment accepts he's an ugly and toxic right wing gobshite and can't be their boy, we'll just get more of the same.
Paul Caton (@paulcato.bsky.social) reply parent
Perhaps not but for the moment, I'd like to think we're seeing at least some honesty about the way we should be organising ourselves instead of hiding behind Farage or flags or the money market or something.

If any of them cared to look or read, they'd know he's the arsonist. But a bit like him, his supporters are deeply dishonest and/or simply racist.
Yvette Cooper once stood at protests to protect refugees and child refugees. As Home Secretary today she has chosen to suspend families joining asylum seekers via any legal route.

Spain is a brilliant example. Huge immigration but they took on the populist right with economic answers.
The Home Office's own (excellent) research summary says a) asylum seekers come to the UK primarily because of social networks/ties b) welfare and labour market policies are *not* a big "pull factor" c) safe routes would help freemovement.org.uk/wp-content/u...

🔴 Brexiteers hate the world they created They claim that Britain is broken, while still clutching the hammer. 📝 New post 👇🏻

Ok got it.
Paul Caton (@paulcato.bsky.social) reply parent
Where's the piece?
There’s a lot to hate about the world the Brexiters created. But the deliberate failure to hold Brexiters to account is right up there. The fact that they’re still strutting around the stage and not in the reject-bin of public life is a tragic indictment of our politics and our press.
Blaming Netanyahu for the genocide is like blaming Trump for the shitshow in America. They both have the support of the people who are supposed to limit them, like the media/courts/congress/etc. They represent the evil being done, but they alone are not the architects - the american people are.
Paul Caton (@paulcato.bsky.social) reply parent
...and we have to listen to and read the same dishonesty as they prepare the country for more of the same shite. This time, with King Charlatan front and centre and The Labour Party hiding behind him.

This is Nigel Farage on mass deportations less than a year ago on GBNews. I wonder what has changed?
Paul Caton (@paulcato.bsky.social) reply parent
Still the best skipper we've had.
Something we need to grasp is that Establishment power meant imperialism. Imperialism is a system of thought that sees upper class white men as the pinnacle of humanity, with a sacred duty to control the lives of others. What we now call the far right is an extension and revival of imperialism.
When GB News drives you fucking mental.
Very important work by @lgilbert.co comprehensively dissecting and demolishing the myth spread by politicians and "thinktanks" that recent migrants are likely to be a drain on public finances. www.laurenpolicy.com/p/are-recent...

This is what Farage represents. This ignorance. This racism. This hatred. This social media radicalisation. Shame on every single politician, newspaper, hack and pundit who has helped pave the way to this vicious, stupid, nationalistic version of England. (Times - a complicit disgrace of a paper)

He's always been a pain in the arse and a dishonest brexiter.
This picture is what brought @billablehour.bsky.social into being. The soles of Alan’s shoes. I had put away the night before a pair my youngest daughter had discarded in the hallway. In a moment, finally, it was real to me in a way it always should have been. /1

The British bit of the world has gone. Driven absolutely mad by faragist wankers.
Lucy Connolly was not a hero, nor was she a political prisoner. She is, however, a case study in the psychological disorder of fake victimhood created and manipulated by politicians with a far right agenda. This is what she tweeted:
I don't know about you but I've had about enough of mainstream media & politicians legitimising racist anti-asylum protests that terrorise refugees & communities. I had to push back hard, TWICE on BBC yesterday about supposed "legitimate concerns" www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtkA...
'While Trump still commands the daily news cycle, he no longer commands the West... It is Europe that is becoming the new arsenal of democracy.' Exceptional, morally urgent and utterly clear sighted column in the Telegraph. Yes, you read that right. www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...
Paul Caton (@paulcato.bsky.social) reply parent
Arseholes. You go for them Zoe!!
64% of the richest 10% in Britain got most of their money via inheritance, not by working for it. Such as Allsopp, the eldest daughter of Baron Hindlip, chairman of Christies, who got her start in TV via her art history degree, which she studied at ... Christies. But sure. More austerity.

Why doesn't he just get a job. Shame on anyone canvassing the views of a failed, former politician who, so far as a reasonable person can deduce, served no public purpose whatsoever in that role.

Robert Jenrick, the Tory Shadow Justice Secretary and former Home Office Minister, joining protesters outside an asylum hotel is one of the most disgusting acts by a frontline British politician in living memory.

White establishment privilege.
It was indeed amusing to see Martin Daubney and Robert Bates from the "Centre for Migration Control" desperately refusing to accept the reality of the data here.
The employment rate of non-EU born migrants exceeded that of the UK-born for the first time on record. Confirms other evidence that recent migrants (even if they did not arrive on work visas) are very likely to be working/have high employment rates.

No one sums up the utter shamelessness of the British press and the ugly politics of Farage quite like Private Eye.
New YouGov polling. A monumental failure of our political class to educate, a monumental failure of our media to report fairly, for a generation
Paul Caton (@paulcato.bsky.social) reply parent
I would urge you to watch it and read the assessment in Private Eye. The non-defence of the defendant was appalling.
Paul Caton (@paulcato.bsky.social) reply parent
It needs a post office type drama for the public to shunt the establishment from defending a state disaster.
This 'patriot' protesting against immigrants in Manchester is actually Irish far right thug Paul Rock, who got eight years for tying up and robbing a 76 year old woman. But yeah, just concerned parents.
So this is how democracies drift into dictatorship. The organs of state nod along. The satirists crack jokes and do no more. The press and other appeasers simply turn a blind eye. The people... for the most part... just groan & let it happen. And very soon the future is no more.
For thousands of years, we have been parasitised, exploited and destroyed by elites. Our survival depends on overthrowing them. Fascinating article by @dpcarrington.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

These goons will soon realise we are who we are. Their scramble to elect Reform is fifty years too late.
That clip of Pochin honking out her toxic racism with no statistics or even rudimentary analysis to back up her nasty, curtain-twitching beliefs… is a large part of why our politics is in such a mess. Viciously useless people being made MPs by voters persuaded to think that hatred will fix things.
There’s such a vengefulness in Brexit. Willing our neighbours to do badly, to break up… to help us kid ourselves that we weren’t class A idiots who’ve torched our prospects in a flurry of ruinous, exceptionalist bravado.
Trump 100% cheats at solitaire.
In "Legitimate Concerns" news. 41% of the 899 arrested for taking part in Farage Riots last year had been reported for crimes associated with intimate partner violence. For those arrested by one police force, this figure was 68%. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...
Paul Caton (@paulcato.bsky.social) reply parent
I think they have, quietly. It's only little Britain that hasn't.
The right gave us austerity, they broke social care, they fucked up our public services, they couldn’t deliver HS2, they created a prison and a justice crisis, scapegoated immigrants, dumped us in a brexity dead end and now whip up riots on our streets to dodge being held to account for any of it.
