@moneillsf Legit been a thing "Forever". Moaning now is silly and won't get anywhere. People saying it "shouldn't take place" were never going to these events anyhow. So wind your neck in a bit, perhaps?

We can never accept burning effigies of political representatives, flags or symbols as normal. In any other part of the world, this would be unfathomable and unacceptable. It should be no different here. This is hatred, rooted in ugly sectarianism and racism. Last night, effigies of political representatives, including myself, were placed on bonfires, surrounded by flags and emblems. Those responsible have nothing to offer except fear and division. But they will not succeed. I will not let hatred dictate our future. I will continue to build a future where all our children grow up free from hate.

@JeevunSandher India booted out every English person born and living in India. A famous name was Kipling.

We are better than the Far Right rioters in Belfast. We are better than Farage and Robinson who are trying to tear this nation apart. We are better than the crypto-billionaires who fund them. Together we will meet this moment, Divided we won’t.

@TheGreenParty Agree dont vote Reform, vote Restore when you can.

@Channel4News What? Elon Musk is the reason the Sudanese man tried to behead an NI dude with LD?

"Very poor white people” are being convinced that “very poor, hard-working brown or Black people” are responsible for the “problems caused by billionaire white men”, Allison Morris, Crime Correspondent at the Belfast Telegraph, says in the wake of the riots that spread through the capital of Northern Ireland overnight.

@owenjonesjourno You're such a worm, Owen. Be better do better. Its bizzare how much you hate the state but also side with it willy-nilly. You should be mad as well. Are you not? Why?

Literal Nazis rioting in Southampton. These are our 'patriots'! People who value white British lives so much that they celebrate a German regime which killed hundreds of thousands of Brits. Including over 600 killed in Southampton by Nazi bombs.

@owenjonesjourno Riots are the voice of the unheard.

This morning, Nigel Farage called for "pure cold rage". x.com/Taj_Ali1/statu…

@owenjonesjourno First guy isnt doing the nazi salute but 2nd guy is XD but looks confused at the first guy.

@TheGreenParty @rachelmillward Yeah.....this is why people think the Greens are not all there. The moment you open your mouths you lose votes. You only gained votes because people are mad at Labour, not because they realistically want you.

Impractical, intrusive and inhumane - @RachelMillward responds to the ECHR guidance on behalf of Green Party leadership.

@ObviousRises Needs to go to fed; if it stayed in Utah it will be covered up.

In what experts are calling: the dumbest move imaginable, Bricks and Minifigs! (BAM) just released Fork Police Bodycam footage showing a sniveling, crying little CEO Ammon McNeff, notice how every statement the caller makes is a complete lie (scripted) also defames RECKLESS BEN, by making FALSE STATEMENTS OF FACT—Reckless Ben is NOT a "harassment channel" RECKLESS BEN SHOULD SUE FOR DEFAMATION. I am so motivated and all-in on this case and story, I'll focus on what I can, and support Ben 100% all the way, I suggest everyone subscribe to HIS channel and MY channel on YOUTUBE. These people are CARTOON VILLAINS. And we WILL expose them and the Mormafia. Incredible how they just staged this entire thing, its so fake and obvious, like come on—these people think they're criminal masterminds, but they just cannot HELP but tell SO MANY EASILY and DEMONSTRABLY FALSE STATEMENTS OF PROBABLE ACTUAL FACT. It won't be easy folks—they will attempt to use the corrupt Judge/Utah legal system to force in a "win" but we can expose it all, that is why I am focused on the network of corruption and the ABUSE of the good Mormons name, in order to do organized crime, start DIGGING (my DMs are always open) we will take them down. WE WILL MAKE THEM RETURN THE LEGOS—Brick by Brick!

@jeremycorbyn Meh they banned other people so its not like everyone hasnt called out the goverment over-reach, they get away with it because we allow it when its speakers we disagree with.

Banning Cenk Uyghur and Hasan Piker from entering the UK is an absurd and cowardly decision from an increasingly authoritarian government. Let us call this what it is: an attack on the freedom to criticise Israel, as well as the UK government’s own complicity in genocide.

@earthygirl011 I think we need them to invest in us. The mega rich used to build us musems and grand libaries and 3rd spaces. Now its katie perry in space.

Who's ready to tax the rich? I know *I* am Vote Green 💚

@TheGreenParty Tbf i thought their entire point was to avoid and be outside of society. Kids dont get chased for school, taking over public space and other antisocial antics. While i welcome them with open arms the same is rarely given back.

Gypsy, Roma and Traveller History Month begins today: a time to celebrate the diverse histories, cultures and ongoing contributions of GRT communities in the UK, and reaffirm our commitment to a fairer, more just future where nomadic ways of life are protected. #OnwardsWithHope

@McDonalds Whats with the 10p charge on paper bags? All that now happens is staff put the food all pretty on a tray only for me to shove it all in my bag wasting their time. 1p 2p but 10p? F no.

@MaxAmericanus @MsMelChen @Desertfox1944er Just to note, name one thing the US has done for Europe? Because the war has been going on for 3 years, for "defence" is a poor argument; you buy more from us than we do from you, and all you have that we want is "Swift." Which US uses as punishment. We followed u into War as wel

@AskASillyQuesti @MsMelChen @Desertfox1944er I, like many Americans, no longer trust our European ‘alliance.’ You act in your own interests, demand full support for Ukraine, yet deny us access to our own bases and airspace when it serves ours. Go get your own oil and defend yourselves.

Let’s be real here. Europe has spent decades freeloading on American security. Even now, with every NATO member finally hitting the 2% GDP target in 2025. But beyond the financial contributions, the real rupture is philosophical and the Iran crisis has shown a spotlight on it. Europe worships process. Endless committees, consultations, and “predictability.” Macron actually calls it a virtue. For Trump, this is paralysis as his style is to articulate a threat, fix a target, and act. The Americans are men of conviction and purpose. Europe on the other hand lives by bureaucratic liturgy and in high-minded abstractions. Sure, Americans might make mistakes when acting. But Europe never considers what the costs of not acting actually are. Just look at how their nations are doing on various fronts, especially on the border crisis, and you see the same cancerous rot that undergirds their foreign policy approach play out domestically. It's the same problem on a different scale. Iran is currently holding the Strait of Hormuz hostage, choking 20% of global oil and spiking prices past $100 a barrel. Meanwhile, the regime is bleeding from strikes, its nuclear ambitions are still alive despite degraded capability, and its proxies are firing missiles at allies and oil tankers. If this isn’t a clear and present danger to the global economy - of which Europe is a part - then I don’t know what is. Yet when Washington asked to use European bases to finish the job - bases the US has defended for generations, the response was hesitation and hand-wringing. The US did strike from RAF Fairford, but only after warnings that British soil could become a “legitimate target.” If you cannot agree that a theocratic regime with eschatological ambitions who have shown no restraint in hitting out at Gulf countries and threatening the world’s energy jugular is an enemy worth confronting, then what, exactly, are we allies about? Europe loves to preen about being tough on Russia. They issue condemnations and speeches and slap sanctions that hardly work to cripple the Russian economy. Now here was a chance to do something concrete: let the Americans use the bases they already pay for, help clear the Strait, and actually degrade the Iranian war machine that arms Moscow’s proxies. Turmp didn’t ask for boots on the ground or any kind of more offensive action. All he wanted was permission to operate from the infrastructure America has underwritten for decades. They couldn’t even manage that. So can you blame the Americans for seeing NATO for what it is? A paper-tiger alliance that expects Washington to bleed and pay while Brussels and London convenes and deliberates. If Europe refuses to treat Iran as the threat it is while happily letting American power keep the Strait open and the lights on, then the alliance is already dead. Trump is simply stating the obvious and the Americans are becoming very reluctant to subsidize the European delusion any longer.

@MaxAmericanus @MsMelChen @Desertfox1944er This before or after you do Israel's dirty work? You mean "bases" in other nations? Seems like stealing land all over again. My nation has oil. Do you know the US stopped Europe from re-arming due to US asking us not to so you could have ur bases and power?

@SimonLaskey @BenedictSpence Benefits come and go? Pension won't exist when I get to that age or if I even live that long, as they keep increasing it. Today's pensioners paid for the last lot, not their own pension. Today's workers are paying for them and dont want to. Just make pensions the same as UC.

@BenedictSpence It’s a benefit people have paid for and now a benefit most of those people won’t get, compared to a true benefit which nobody paid for and will get. Pointless and quite uneducated post well done.👍

On my way to tell all the Boomers the UK state pension is a benefit.

@BenedictSpence How could he ignore the location of the drones that killed Ukrainians was made? The UK gets crap for selling weapons, why can't he do that towards Iran?

I wonder why Ukraine supports an attack on the country that supplied its drones to Russia. It’s a real mystery.

@MaxAmericanus @MsMelChen @Desertfox1944er What point is that? Isreal and the US say jump we all have to say "how high" after making it harder to support you by not telling us the plan so we could manage our oil and go into Iran like a team? Trump went on stage and told the rest of us to sort out Iran, US started it.

@MsMelChen @Desertfox1944er No, he said it to prove the point. Now the US must control Greenland. Europe proved it believes it has a say in US security, and it will not be an ally when and if we need it in Greenland.

@Recliningdad @MsMelChen @Desertfox1944er Do you realise the US has reduced and slowed down Europe over decades? The US doesn't want Europe own internet or even changes to Silicon Valley.

Is it any different then the EU trying to fine and pillage US Tech firms cause they can’t develop or create one? The EU hasn’t created a tech firm in the last 50 years that would crack the global Fortune 500. The EU is like a sports teammate that is getting out of shape. We are allowed to call them on it.

@MsMelChen And we ignore the fact US kept Europe from investing for decades? The US went after Iran without asking any of us for help and now it wants us to finish what you started because Troops on the ground will look "bad"
