This is real
This made my day today. Police pulled over a dalek outside DSEI, London's arms fair, scanned the QR code on its lanyard and were taken to my fake Royal Navy recruitment website - royalnavy.org.uk
If only there had been some way of knowing that any pledges Starmer makes are worthless
Absolutely loving it. Not in her wildest dreams did she think she'd ever get to be this cruel
“I should think that is a manifestation of the popular feeling. I would not condemn anyone who said that. I would say that is how people see the situation in Smethwick. I fully understand the feelings of the people who say it. I would say it is exasperation, not fascism.” (Peter Griffiths, 1964)
Cool. The BBC and Starmer doing joint incitement
Gonna delete that post with Adnan Hussain's to India Willoughby. He's clearly transphobic, and his response twisted her words and dismissed trans rights as something which can be debated. But on reflection her post wasn't great either
What's the most amount of red flags you can fit in a paragraph?
Pollard thinks it's appalling, but only because you're not supposed to say it quite this loud
Tell it to Omer Bartov
Weak. As The Guardian has been throughout this genocide
The medium is the message
Probably won't take much for them to return to the fold. A well-chaired meeting or a particularly fine set of minutes, perhaps
Aaaiiiie my eyez, they burn
No. The policies are absolutely dreadful right now, and will result in real harm to real people. The PR and messaging are also bad, but that's because they accurately reflect the policies.
Occams razor
Asked on Sky News about this tweet from Elon Musk, part of a recent stream of far-right messages from the X owner about the UK, education minister Stephen Morgan doesn't directly condemn or contradict it, saying the government "understand people's frustrations across the country" about migration.
They are a fascist government
If the majority of a nation wants their representatives to stop arming a genocide but those representatives refuse, it means they are not afraid to lose votes. By voting for the "lesser evil" for decades you didn't honor the right to vote so many fought for, you devalued the only currency you had.
IIRC George Osborne actually did the Rowan Atkinson line in PMQs. "Now that we've got the recipe, is there any need for them to stay"
This is terrifying. It's impossible to overstate what an immense threat to our human rights this Labour government poses.

The Quiet was an iconic post but this one is also important to the general understanding of how we got here
This isn’t really interesting because of who her husband is*, or because she’s tremendously online, but it is interesting that she feels it’s strongly in her interests to disassociate herself from LFI, to the point where she’s making a big fuss about it on X the Everything App.
The fuck? Was that related to The Video
A lot of you have questions about the dark money I received to downplay a genocide to my audience for the democrat party. If you could just hop on over to this nazi site, you'll see I explained everything.
Labour aren't on the left at all
Sarah Phillimore is the second person who's posted a rainbow flag swastika that Rowling has offered to fund legal costs for.
Deary me
St Pauli antifa ✊
A think tank should be tackled with tanks. It's in the name.
Most people are only brave enough to support direct action post-hoc
Minouche Shafik cracked down on free speech at Columbia University, prioritising law enforcement & disciplinary measures over dialogue with pro-Palestine protestors. She was criticised for being a bloodless technocrat, & favouring donor relationships over academic freedom. Perfect fit for Starmer
Simpler times
Bella Sankey on this panel. She was a prominent campaigner for migrants' rights before she decided to go into politics. Hope she's enjoying being part of this Labour Party
Tips on where to get the best ermine
The replies are a sewer of blue-tick racists calling him a liar
A few stills from Keir Starmer's latest incitement video, posted on X earlier today
This exercise in tone-policing starts by conceding that fascism has become mainstream and ends by advocating an attack on far-right protestors for their lack of personal virtue. Because it's the only language the working-class can understand, apparently. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Dude organised an anti-fash protest and came away thinking they just have legitimate concerns
100% this. At Cable St they had a good chat, explained the facts and everything was fine
LOL me too. Mine was just mockery. He's on a blockathon
Man at Cable St telling people to calm it all down, you won't win them over like this
You might want to check his speech in case it mentions rivers, blood, stuff like that
You can hear them shout 'Paki bastards' I haven't experienced this kind of ramdon racism on the streets since I was a child in the 80's, I was hoping my own children wouldn't have to go through the same thing. How far this country has fallen.
Now, an everyday reality for many of us A family day out to the beach results in a torrent of racist abuse followed by indecent exposure at my family My youngest is 6 Before I started recording, they started with 'get out of our country' the same kind of line that the likes of Reform and Lowe push
That’s two reported ChatGPT suicides in one week, plus the grandpa who died trying to meet Meta’s chatbot which had arranged an in-person meeting All going really well
They're openly calling to lock up every trans person by force. We need every ally to speak out forcefully against this because trans folks cannot do this on our own.
This is the burning of the Institut fur Sexualwissenschaft. Right here. This is the tipping point of genocide.
Two posts featuring photos with Black people getting deported in less than 24 hours
Consent manufacturing machine goes chugga chugga
How's the strategic partnership going guys
Sir Keir must do fascism to stop the fascists
Oh look, Lammy has summoned the ambassador and told them the senseless killing must stop. No not the Israeli ambassador, the Russian one.
Not even Blair made this excuse
It's hard to understand what Starmer was apologising for on his 'island of strangers' comments when he's now apparently perfectly happy putting out obvious racist bait like this
Sounds very Tory
Obviously he's an utter scumbag but what the hell
He's now doing... race science? Has he not read a history book?
That Spitting Image Mastermind thing is like a mysterious artefact from another dimension
Again, the idea that the Israelis were cruel psychos deliberately targeting civilians was so utterly uncontroversial in the early 2010s that melty wankpuffin TV sitcom The Thick Of It repeatedly used the word “Israeli” to mean “wildly disproportionate, scorched-earth, murderous retaliation”.
Well it worked for Hindenburg, eh
"How significant is the fact that Tony Blairs involved in discussions about a post war Gaza?" Ash Sarkar: "Well I guess it's because Satan was unavailable"
Labour are psychopaths though
Update: published at 15.14, 27 Aug. Omits the more damning details that were published in the NYT
I particularly find this one bone chilling in all it says. Just black hands being processed, no face not a person just a number to be processed and look how efficient we are at it with our tech
Using this argument plays straight into the hands of the far right, because it is the inverse of Great Replacement Theory
The suggestion that Starmer does not know about and has not approved his own wildly racist social media output is just utterly disingenuous at this point
The Guardian has not yet reported the news story about the parents suing Open AI after their son killed himself following interactions with Chat GPT
Children Of Men-ing intensifies
The entire political-media class is engaged in a decades-long ongoing project to delegitimise the left and ensure they can never be in power in this country. As the status quo becomes more and more untenable, they are quite happy to embrace fascism to achieve this
Hahahahahahaha
If I'd arrived in Whitby on the Demeter, I'd be more circumspect about demanding they "stop the boats."
incredible third category there
Keep joining the dots, you're almost there
"Isn't all this terrible, anyway did I mention I have new book out"
My daughter's polprof at her uni is exactly the same. It's a remarkable phenomenon
Ooh, a new polprof saying polprof things. Exciting
The Times editorial line: "sieve" the entire population so we can put 100s of thousands of people into camps. "Removing a city’s worth of people would be an extended exercise. Identity cards would be a must if the population was to be sieved into legitimate and illegitimate camps" archive.ph/78dcP
[CW suicide] Oh my god. Just shut it down. Pull the plug out archive.ph/F7B0U
Oh no, the people we told to fuck off have fucked off. I know, let’s threaten and insult them
If you don’t want to have to fight fascists on the practical minutiae of their policies, don’t spend a year doing an Enoch Powell tribute act. It’s not too late for Starmer to locate the principles he has abandoned with this hapless attempt to act the strongman, but absolutely no-one trusts him now
Not the first time he's said this. Jack Lew: "The media...tells a story that...is shown not to be completely accurate. ‘35 children were killed.’ Well, it wasn’t 35 children. It was many fewer. The children who were killed turned out to have been children of Hamas fighters" - Jan 2025
Extract from the latest Chotiner. The Biden administration deemed killing children as fine, when it chose to believe they were the children of Hamas fighters archive.ph/miguy
The mental health benefits of not knowing any history right now must be massive. Moving through your day with total equanimity. What happens next? Who knows? Maybe something good
Netanyahu himself is now pushing the argument that Israel is being unfairly blamed for a starvation death because the boy also had a piece of his skull blown out by an Israeli shelling
Oh look, it's the thing every fascist government says about the opposition party before they dissolve them and turn the country into a one party state.
I saw a post on here recently saying something like, “The worst thing about what Starmer is doing is that it’s proving Owen Jones correct” and I think that probably sums up Ian’s feelings too
Certainly raises some questions
Dunt tobacco investigation is an interesting search term
LOL at the idea they'll even try
Every time I think Otto might be on the verge of understanding what's happening, the lights go off again
Haha amazing
Maybe some other countries would advise us not to be complacent
Once you've enabled fascism, it tends to require quite extreme methods to eradicate it
Found the one guy who still thinks Starmer is playing 6d chess to defeat fascism and lead the country into a liberal paradise
