  1. If you believe #KeirStarmer has a habit of throwing people under the bus to hide his own political moves & serve his personal ambitions, you're are right. I didn't need to hear #FCDO chief & #Whitehall stalwart #OllyRobbins give a painfully-measured-yet-damning testimony today to know #Starmer had backstabbed him in the #Mandelson vetting case, then lied to Parliament. This is the Independent article that showed me how much independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli

  5. The MoD received huge sums from Netflix for the use of RAF Halton’s grade 2 listed Hall, WHY was the money not spent on maintaining the building?
    They suddenly shut it down a year ago, citing structural issues. Left Netflix in mid filming, unable to properly complete Bridgerton series 4.
    Where did the MONEY go?

  6. Don't anybody hold Tommy Robinson and Elon Musk responsible for the violence occurring now, blameless little white lambs that they are /s

    It's the Left that drove them to it, by existing....the fiends!

  7. If the Fash protestors crying about their pure bloodlines and hotels are actually inbreeding with one another that does explain a lot of the oddities we're seeing on display today.

    These people are not normal, they want to be see as normal but they just can't manage it....the Hate has fucked them up too much.

    It's like Charlie Kirk's weird head, the hatred just frames it as something bizarre and unsettling...

  8. The brits are indeed, "at it again"

    Pretty much the only thing holding the UK together right now is a contempt for Keir Starmer.
    Seems like conceding ground to Far Right doesn't make you their friend, somebody lean over the Kier at that football match he's being seen at right now and explain it to him.

  14. Met warns against supporting proscribed groups ahead of #London #protests

    Officers to monitor chants and conduct at #PalestineCoalition and counter-protests in Westminster

    Joe Hadden
    Friday 18 July 2025

    "The Metropolitan Police has warned that anyone showing support for proscribed organisations during planned protests in London this weekend could face arrest under #terrorism laws.

    "An increased police presence is expected in Westminster on Saturday when a number of demonstrations are due to take place, including a large-scale march by the Palestine Coalition and a static counter-protest by Stop the Hate.

    "The Met said it also anticipates further protest activity in support of the recently proscribed group #PalestineAction, which is now banned under the #TerrorismAct.

    "Seventy people were arrested at similar demonstrations in #ParliamentSquare over the past two weekends, and the location of any action this Saturday is yet to be confirmed.

    "Deputy Assistant Commissioner Ade Adelekan, who is leading the policing operation, said officers are experienced in managing events of this nature but warned that those who use the protests as an opportunity to express support for proscribed groups risk serious legal consequences.

    " 'This Saturday’s Palestine Coalition protest is the first large-scale event of its kind since the proscription of Palestine Action and I want to make sure the implications of that change in the law are fully understood,' he said.

    " 'Nobody will be committing an offence by simply supporting the Palestinian cause, taking part in the march or carrying flags, banners or other signs providing they don’t stray into hate speech or other offences.

    " 'However, those who see this as an opportunity to test the limits of the law by expressing support for Palestine Action, whether at a standalone protest or as part of the Palestine Coalition protest, will likely be committing an offence and will very likely be arrested.'

    "He added: 'I would urge those people to consider the seriousness of being arrested under the Terrorism Act and the very real long-term implications – from travel, to employment, to finances – that such an arrest is likely to have for their future.'

    "Mr Adelekan also said the force is continuing to investigate '#OffensiveChanting' that took place at #GlastonburyFestival and has been repeated at recent protests in London.

    "He said officers would assess chants at Saturday’s protest 'based on the specific circumstances' – noting that words shouted generally during the march may not constitute an offence, but could do so if directed at individuals in a way likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress.

    " 'At previous protests, the area between the main march and any counter protest has seen the most heated exchanges. Officers will be particularly alert to conduct, including chanting, in this area and will be working with stewards to ensure crowds keep moving past this point,' he said.

    " 'Where they become aware of behaviour that crosses the line from protest into criminality they will intervene and take appropriate action.'

    "He said the best way for protesters to stay within the law is to avoid 'threatening, abusive and insulting language' or any support for banned groups. [!!!]

    "The Palestine Coalition march will begin at #VictoriaEmbankment and proceed via #WestminsterBridge, #YorkRoad, #WaterlooBridge, #TheStrand, and #Whitehall, where speeches will be held."
