There’s an argument to be made that accidental wealth generated by PayPal has attacked civil society in America like cocaine did in Colombia.

Has Sharp resigned yet? Have the police visited Mone yet? Has Johnson been told to pay his own legal fees yet? Have we got to the truth about LebedevJohnson yet? Has Sunak told Johnson and Truss that there will be no resignation honours yet? Or are we happy with BananaRepublic?

Today 5 people who care about our planet have been viciously sentenced under laws that remove our right to peaceful protest. So I came to join those who stand in solidarity. We cannot put people behind bars for urging us to do what we know is right. #WholeTruth5

I find it very alarming that so many agree with the protest sentance. It doesn't matter whether you agree with JSO it matters that you have the right to protest....this is a legal overreach and we should all be worried.

In June 2023 I tried to stop the legislation which has been used against the Just Stop Oil protesters from becoming law. I had the support of Lib Dem Lords and Peter Stefanovic and thousands of others, but The Labour Party sided with the Tory Govt. But now UK Prime Minister must repeal it

If any of these cases get to court and they are found guilty, it will be interesting to compare their sentences with those of Just Stop Oil campaigners.

These aren’t protests, protesters in Britain get aggressively policed and given draconian prison sentences - these are organised, racist attacks, given cover and legitimacy by the language of the media and silence of Britain’s political class

The wave of hate & misinformation we’re seeing in Britain right now is funded & fuelled by advertising. It’s advertising that has enabled some media to profit from inflammatory clickbait” stories targeting migrants: theneweuropean.co.uk/daily-mail-cen… /1

Siting MP and bastion of free speech Robert Jenrick thinks it should be illegal to praise God in Arabic. It is wrong for a sitting MP to spout such racist hate speech, particularly at a time of critical right wing terror threats, and he should resign. RT if you agree.

If the media class think we’re going to forget their complicity over decades with one front-page, then I’ve got news for you: HELL NO.
