As if dragging Padilla out wasn't bad enough...you can't "liberate" an American city from political leadership you don't like through force. This is a democracy shitheads.

Ok, I'll go: I'm here to fight American fascism and to oppose the wanton shredding of the US Constitution by Administration forces. President Trump is a traitor to the nation and I look forward to being arrested while protesting this regime's illegal and immoral cruelty.

The lesson from every single fascist/authoritarian takeover in history is the same. There are institutions that will resist. Law enforcement and the military, regardless of the oaths they swear, are not among them, because these are culturally authoritarian organisations.

Violence against political opposition is a sure sign of democratic collapse. We are in very dangerous waters. Everyone must resist now.

Again I tip my hat to @gabrielmilland.bsky.social for the term "lobbyfication" for when newsrooms are unable to interpret anything government related except through the lens of electoral politics

I remember standing in silence with hundreds of others in Southam, a small Warwickshire town where we used to live, as the coffin of a local lad killed in Afghanistan was slowly driven to the grave waiting for him in the churchyard, his devastated family walking behind.

Lunchtime charity shop purchase - 45p. Can’t seem to find out if it was Liverpool’s official FA Cup final single, or just a random record they released during the season…

I'm incredibly disappointed that the Hillsborough Law still hasn't come to the floor of the House after the Prime Minister promised it during Labour Party Conference last year. The bill that was written in 2017 is fit for purpose and must be delivered in full. Anything less is a betrayal.

Former Reform Chairman Zia Yusuf plans to run for a seat in Parliament, in a by-election if the right seat comes up, if not, at the GE, Sky reports. Only a few days ago he flounced out of the party saying it wasn’t a good use of his time. Joke people, joke party.

Does it matter to you that there's basically no point you asking for a letter of application for jobs now? It may always have been a bit pointless but you might as well cut that out of application process right now.
