Who is this Simon Case MORON?

Fraser Nelson has noticed that a large part of the British Right is going mad. www.thetimes.com/article/27c9...

The correct context for this is authoritarianism versus democracy. People need to realize that and choose a side.

Watching people who used to bleat about accusations of racism choose between being blatantly racist or clutching their pearls at all the blatant racism they enabled is not as much fun as you might think. (See also Donald Trump & fascism.)

FYI, Labour just made every Apple product in the UK less secure. All so that the state can snoop at leisure on anyone they like. (Apple refused to install a back door to let government snoops in and got rid of enhanced security instead. Like binning a door instead of cutting a skeleton key for it.)

Fairly sick of the sight of simpering British politicians trotting over to America to talk down our country in front of a bunch of braying MAGA fascists If you don't like this Britain, why not go and live in your beloved Trump’s America. (AM I doing this right)

Just outrageous - nearly £4 billion "excess profit" pocketed by privatised energy networks while YOUR bills went up Energy transmission and distribution is a natural monopoly and other countries recognise this PUBLIC OWNERSHIP NOW ⚡️🔥 www.theguardian.com/business/202...

"But the answer to Faragism cannot be the creation of a Reform-lite tribute band, Teal Labour if you like, and to turn on progressivism and denounce it as an illness." An excellent piece by Neal Lawson in @bylinetimes.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2025/02/19/k...

Back from The States working as a consultant to the Trump administration. Apart from Zelensky these are newly recognised dictators: Sir David Attenborough Shabba Ranks Hey Duggee Ronnie Pickering Anita Dobson Fanny Blue The Beatles Dick Van Dick Bradley Walsh Zoe Ball Temu. 🇺🇸

The Daily Star's headlines have been magnificent recently.

Well said @alexmassie.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/alexmass...

Extremely entertaining extracts from the diaries of former chief whip Simon Hart in The Times today. Kemi, Suella and myriad others come off about as well as you’d imagine. www.thetimes.com/article/e25f...

🔴 Trump-Supporting ARC Conference After Party Cancelled at London Nightclub Following Protests Venue was set to host a cigars, cocktail and DJ night for British Trump-backers attending a conference addressed by Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch bylinetimes.com/2025/02/19/t...

Feels a bit like Jan 6, except this time without the naïve belief that everyone would abandon Trump once his depravity became undeniable.

The US State Department is forcing all of its employees to cancel subscriptions to any Trump-unfriendly media.

I hear Nigel Farage is declining interview requests. First time for everything, I suppose. I suspect he’ll eventually speak to whoever is least likely to challenge him properly.

We all see what’s happening—because we are the target! Who doesn’t know someone affected? “It’s a level of incompetence that we’ve never seen before in government. To say that Elon Musk is not running the United States right now is really a fallacy.” — @dougjones.bsky.social

This.

Trump is a Russian stooge. Putin may as well written this himself. And any Republican in Congress who said they support our allies before, but are silent today over this, are worthless.

RIP Rick Buckler, drummer of The Jam.

Reminds me of when America began the War in the Pacific at Pearl Harbour.

As the US sits around the table with Lavrov (sanctioned by the Biden) the Russian attacks on civilians in Kyiv haven’t stopped. The Trump administration didn’t even get a cessation in drone attacks in exchange for the PR coup of talks and bringing the regime in from the cold.

Fuck. Me. Mind you, Farage knows he can spout any old bollocks as long as his core vote thinks he’ll deport a few million people.

Another 4 years of this level of disinformation and we are fucked. www.reddit.com/r/EnoughMusk...

Thank you, Fulham FC.

I predicted that abortion bans would actually *lower* birth rates, and increase maternal and infant mortality… because, logic… and here we are. It’s not about protecting children, or women, it’s about control. Related… TX hasn’t released birth rate data since 2022. 🧐 www.bbc.com/news/article...

Even Vance thinks Farage is a threat.

This is a shame, his writing was the main reason that I stopped reading about football in tabloids. I love the podcast he was involved in too called Football Ruined My Life. www.standard.co.uk/sport/footba...

There are Oswald Mosleys too.

Yet again, if these were climate protestors, there'd have been multiple arrests, with some facing years in jail for "public nuisance". But farmers can block the road and drown out the Prime Minister and the police won't touch them. The real #TwoTierPolicing

Monbiot nails it: "this is direct appeasement ... these people who go on and on about sovereignty, say they are the defenders of sovereignty, when it actually comes to the crunch they will sell anyone down the river."

Scoop: The databases powering DOGE.gov are insecure, and people outside the government have already pushed their own updates to the site to prove it: www.404media.co/anyone-can-p...

New from 404 Media: anyone can push updates to the Doge.gov site. Two sources independently found the issue, one made their own decision to deface the site. "THESE 'EXPERTS' LEFT THEIR DATABASE OPEN." www.404media.co/anyone-can-p...
