🚨🇬🇧 They’re not documenting London’s “decline.” They’re manufacturing it. New GLA research found that: 🔺“London in decline” narratives have surged by 150–200% in just two years. 🔺Migration-related content is up 350%. And this isn’t happening organically. The push is being driven by coordinated networks: 🔺UK far-right ‘patriot’ accounts 🔺Russian and Chinese state-aligned bot operations 🔺MAGA-adjacent outrage merchants like Tommy Robinson and Adam Brooks One Vietnamese network reportedly used AI-generated imagery and fake local news branding to build an audience of more than a million followers. Meanwhile, London’s homicide rate is at its lowest level on record. So no, this is not fearless truth-telling or “citizen journalism.” It’s narrative engineering, disinformation dressed up as reporting. [SOURCE: GLA/BBC, April 2026]

@THEBLUELODGE @BasilTheGreat "an Ethiopian soldier, who was famous among buffoons and always a notable jester, met him with a garland of cypress-boughs" Historia Augusta (330ad) referencing an inspection at Hadrians wall.

@RyanStansfield6 @BasilTheGreat There's no evidence of sub-Saharan Africans in Britain in Roman times. There was evidence of North Africans who were of Mediterranean appearance at the time, such as the Carthaginians.

The BBC made a show about the Battle of Hastings This is who they wanted you to believe was an Anglo-Saxon soldier from 1066

@TheBritishIntel It hasn't broken down. It went to port for a routine logistics stop, and whilst there they decided to fix that issue. That is all

The UK rushed HMS Dragon to the Mediterranean to project power after Iran targeted our Cyprus airbase. It’s now broken down due to a faulty water system. Our government has completely destroyed what was once the greatest navy in the world. Absolute humiliation.

@RichardDawkins It's the moral question of producing an, what we'd assume is a conscious, intelligent being as a science experiment. What rights would they have? Who'd protect their rights? Would they have parents/guardians from 'birth' who'd make choices for them? etc.

Neanderthal genome is largely known. If it becomes possible to reconstruct a live Neanderthal person, what, in your opinion, would be the pros and cons? I’m genuinely interested in canvassing opinions for and against.

Orbán and his team have started spreading Russian-style disinformation. They are sending out messages falsely claiming that our candidates are withdrawing. TISZA is not withdrawing anywhere; we are running with a real chance of winning in every constituency.

@RonFilipkowski What's the chance if Orban loses, him and Trump will bang on about it being a rigged election, influenced by the EU? High in my opinion

Two days before Hungary’s election, Trump pledges to buy votes for Viktor Orban with US taxpayer dollars.

@Noahpinion Because, similar to Putin, Trump wants someone in the EU he can control, disrupt EU decision making, and give him leverage. Orban provides that

Why is Hungary so important to JD Vance and the rightists anyway? It's not even a particularly important country within Europe.

@Maks_NAFO_FELLA And Vance went over there preaching about the morality of election interference....

OMG 🥴🥴🥴

@realjohnmonarch @tomhfh Ok, & Switz, Nor, & Ire all have populations between 5 & 9 million. My point isn't denying the US is eco bigger than Europe - it is. It's challenging the idea Europe is poor, (the OPs point), & it clearly isn't. It's like saying a millionaire is poor because billionaires exist

@RyanStansfield6 @tomhfh You're trying to compare tax havens with populations of 38k (Monaco), 41k (Liechtenstein) that don't even have a military at all.. The smallest US state is 15x larger by population than Monaco. It's also pure denial to say Europe isn't falling behind economically.

Europoor is an entirely accurate phrase. America is simply in a different league.

@realjohnmonarch @tomhfh Sure, & are they European? Regardless, if we're looking at whether Europe is "Europoor" as is the claim, we can't just look up. China GDP per capita $13,310, India $2690, Russia $14,870. Europe has some of the highest GDP per capita globally, and suggesting it is poor is nonsense

Let's look at what that means: 1. Monaco - Tiny tax haven for the ultra rich 2. Liechtenstein - Tiny tax haven for the rich 3. Luxembourg - Tiny tax haven for bankers 4. Ireland - Small corporate tax haven 5. Switzerland - Tax haven for bankers + corps 6. Iceland - Tiny, massively tourism-dependent 7. Singapore - Tiny city-state 8. Norway - Small oil state 9. USA

@WarMonitor3 This is like you're boss noticing you're doing something to solve a problem they created, and after the fact sends you an email demanding you do the thing you're already doing as if it was their idea, and CCing in their boss to make it look like they're in control of the issue.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has told European governments that U.S. President Donald Trump wants concrete commitments within days to help ​secure the Strait of Hormuz-Retuers

What’s killing NATO isn’t the European refusals to access to US bases, but Trump’s unilateral decision to redefining NATO as a US force-projection tool rather than a collective defense arrangement. That’s the constitutional coup against the alliance. Europe didn’t break NATO, Trump did. ft.com/content/e2347e…

The European strategy for dealing with Trump is now basically the same as dealing with a drunken gobshite at the pub. Don't bother arguing. Just pick up your pint, move to another table and get on with your evening, comfortable in the knowledge he'll either piss himself and pass out or get barred.

Michael Clarke on Iran: The US achieved everything it wanted militarily. It was militarily flawless and politically clueless. Washington hit all the targets it wanted, but got almost nothing politically that it did not already have at the start. 1/

Actual quotes from President Trump: Trump’s “victory timeline” claims. Mar 3: "We won the war." Mar 7: "We defeated Iran." Mar 9: "We must attack Iran." Mar 9: "The war is ending almost completely, and very beautifully. March 10: practically nothing left to target Mar 11: “You never like to say too ⁠early you won. We won. In ​the first hour it was over.” Mar 12: "We did win, but we haven't won completely yet." Mar 13: "We won the war." Mar 14: "Please help us." Mar 15: "If you don't help us, I will certainly remember it." Mar 16: "Actually, we don't need any help at all." Mar 16: "I was just testing to see who's listening to me." Mar 16: "If NATO doesn't help, they will suffer something very bad." Mar 17: "We neither need nor want NATO's help." Mar 17: "I don't need Congressional approval to withdraw from NATO." Mar 18: "Our allies must cooperate in reopening the Strait of Hormuz." Mar 19: "US allies need to get a grip - step up and help open the Strait of Hormuz." Mar 20: "NATO are cowards." Mar 21: "The Strait of Hormuz must be protected by the countries that use it. We don't use it, we don't need to open it." Mar 22: "This is the last time. I will give Iran 48 hours. Open the strait" Mar 22: "Iran is Dead" Mar 23: "We had very good and productive talks with Iran." Mar 24: "We’re making progress." Mar 25: “They gave us a present and the present arrived today. And it was a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money. I’m not going to tell you what that present is, but it was a very significant prize.” Mar 26: "Make a deal, or we’ll just keep blowing them away." Mar 27: "We don’t have to be there for NATO." Mar 28: No major quote Mar 29: Claimed talks were progressing Mar 30: "Open the Strait of Hormuz immediately, or face devastating consequences." Mar 31: Claimed a deal was "very close" and that Iran would "do the right thing" Apr 1: "We’ll see what happens very soon." Apr 2: Repeated that a deal was likely, while warning of continued strikes if not Apr 3: "Something big is going to happen." Apr 4: Said Iran must comply "immediately" or face further consequences. Apr 5: "Open the fuckin' Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah." April 6 :a whole civilization will die April 7: total and complete victory April8: objectives were met A true disaster

Germany “rejects the accusation” by J.D. Vance that the EU was interfering in Hungary's election (gov spox) “I would like to point out that the U.S. Vice President was in Hungary just a few days before the election. This fact alone speaks for itself as to who is interfering.” 🔥

@ABridgen Except this is the Apollo 8 earthrise picture, not the one you shared, and it is clearly different.

It’s a remarkable coincidence that the Earth was exactly the same orientation to the moon with exactly the same cloud coverage when these two pictures were taken 68 years apart. Am I now a coincidence theorist ?

@pabafc1 @CrewkerneGaz So, just to clear up, you've responded to a point that retail staff not stopping people thieves isn't a new thing, with an irrelevant & willfully misinterpreted point about how I work with people with intellectual disabilities being somehow relevant. Great debating skills there

@RyanStansfield6 @CrewkerneGaz Because you believe people should "live their lives as they see fit"... Which is an incredibly stupid thing to say. Nonetheless that's what you believe? If not, don't say it.

The Top Gear lads decide to pinch Jeremy Clarkson’s Hawkstone from Waitrose after learning staff are no longer allowed to stop shoplifters. Keir Starmer’s socialist utopia is in full effect. {satire}
