Really good fightback by Maguire. ~AA
On This Morning, Rylan repeated far right conspiracies. None of it is true. In this video I check his claims one by one. Rylan was wrong. Here are the facts… Show this to your reform voting uncle. youtu.be/MgeRPFkod5g?...

“The dense interconnectedness of the human family… means that in terms of our biology, there are no different races. We can all claim ancestry from across the world. Nevertheless, our politics is obsessed with distinctions based on national identity…” Gaia’s article more relevant than ever:

In the end, it's going to come down to whether you believe it's important that a song, or a poem, or novel, or whatever, was made by another human; whether you believe that's what art *is*, an expression of our shared humanity. If not, well, goodnight and good luck I guess.
The Government is doing its best at the moment to imply it has no problem with the ethnonationalism now rearing its ugly head. And I don't understand why. 1/5
GIGO.
A beautiful arche shaped iceberg that we found in Disko Bay early August during one of our late night sailing. To give you an idea the mast of the boat is around 30 meters high 😵💫⛵️🧊… This piece of ice was massive.
There is such an hotel, a couple of miles from my home. I see the residents, coming and going from a nearby supermarket. They strike me as lonely and lost. I feel sorry for them and all they endure. I do not want to see them gone. I just want to see them well.

Similarly, the people who bought the newspapers to get the latest gossip. It was guilt, manifesting as sorrow.
The smarmy fucker has revealed himself.
How soon we forget.
OTD in 1939 Nazi Germany staged the Gleiwitz incident. After accusing Poland of ethnic cleansing against his countrymen, Hitler staged a false flag to justify invasion & genocide. Imagine such bullshit being tolerated today....

I think he mistakes social media blowback as more, instead of different. He also mentions a thriving stand up but admits he doesn’t know much about that. Which, in a nutshell, is the problem. People opining on things that they don’t know about. I despair. bsky.app/profile/stro...
When Enes Kanter Freedom appeared on a basketball court with a pair of trainers that read “Free Uyghur”, the reaction from Beijing was swift “They cancelled every Celtics game on television [in China] for the rest of the year,” he told us 📸 Mitchell Layton / Getty Images
OTD in 1996 Russia signed the Khasavyurt Accords which ended 1st Chechen War. Almost exactly 3 years later we staged false flags to justify tearing the agreement up to start the 2nd Chechen War. We killed 100s of thousands of civilians. None of this should familiar.

Caring is tough, but it can also be beautiful. It shapes relationships in ways that last a lifetime. If we can find the will to support carers properly, we will not only ease the strain on our health system but also make Britain a better place to live. www.lbc.co.uk/article/cari...

Babylon is not gonna stop selling us fossil fuels & its associated products but we are under no obligation to buy them. If Babylon won’t change, then we must, or we condemn future generations, to a living hell. The choice is ours.
Whilst Yorkshire Water bare much responsibility, we cannot ignore the alarmingly low water levels in our streams & rivers; the cause of which has been record breaking dry weather & heatwaves; the cause of which is climate change; the cause of which is us.

“This is exactly who Starmer 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 be talking to, the median voter! What Rylan said will resonate." Where is Labour? 🤔 @jonsopel1.bsky.social & @lewisgoodall.com say the party’s lack of communication lets misinformation about migrants spread, leaving a vacuum others happily fill.
The billionaire press barons must be having a right laugh… Here we are distracted & arguing over asylum seekers (0.2% of the population) Meanwhile, billionaires (just 0.0002% of the population) hoard more wealth than half the UK Immigration isn’t draining us Inequality is.

Is this the "ICE style deportation enforcement" that Farage has in mind? Does this seem like a happier, safer place to you? Machine-gun armed militias, with faces covered, yanking people into unmarked cars? The full Mark Stone report is a must-watch👇🏽. ~AA www.youtube.com/watch?v=KolI...

Colin seems particular deranged, this time. I wonder what led him to that(!)
My theory about the FT, and why it’s the paper I choose to read for news, is that it’s designed for a readership who are making multi-million pound decisions which require a working knowledge of what is ACTUALLY happening if they’re not to lose Leeson levels of moolah, so it can’t afford to spin.

A word on immigration. Don't prejudge this, just listen to the data, and then consider what the solution is. The UK has a falling birth rate. This means that - unless things change - each generation will be 25% smaller than the one before.
Alas, you cannot reason with hate. They, and we, are going to have to find out, the hard way.
I’ve been making this argument, for bloody years. People just don’t want to hear it so, consequently, I’ve planned for my retirement, accordingly. I advise everyone else, of sound mind, to do the same.
