Peak mainstreaming:
A so-called festival of philosophy with all the most reactionary speakers the UK has to offer fooling some left-wing speakers into thinking this is a debate rather than a way to make their extreme ideas seem part of the conversation...

Free speech. Forced listening.
this being the thing that crosses the line for many rightwingers is so illustrative of how they don’t really care about anything real that actually matters. their problems are all entirely fictional
Guess how many times this Spiked piece - which blames Orban’s loss on ‘identity politics’ and ‘therapy culture’ - mentions that Furedi is literally working for Orban?

The last 24 hours have shown what many have said for a long time.
Britain's role as an accomplice to Trump's America must end.
We must urgently decouple from a rogue US & seek security with allies closer to home. That starts with suspension of the US bombers on British soil.
"We're anti-Fascist, we're anti-violence, we're anti-racist, and we're pro-creative."
The only band that matters.

Hell, they probably think Iran has it coming and that wiping out a civilisation is liberation not genocidal extermination. They should reflect on that and their support for Israel when they criticise Trump as crazy and dangerous - as that doesn't do anything except distract from the real issues. 3/
Trump didn't break the system, he's exposing and exploiting its weaknesses, flaws and double standards. Those already known to those who have experienced bombing, occupation and genocide at the hands of the US and its allies. You know, those that many crying foul now don't care about. 2/
'A whole civilization will die tonight'
All the legal and political oversight, international law and historical lessons don't mean shit if they aren't applied or only applied selectively. 1/
7 hours of silence from the Prime Minister.
The US is using UK bases. The President is openly talking about destroying a civilisation.
And Downing Street says... nothing.
If you won’t speak up now, when will you?

The ejections in Hungary on Sunday will be critical for the far right in both the USA and UK. Orban’s money & influence created a network connecting JD Vance & James Orr (Reform) and sustaining right wing culture war efforts to control public history here.

Polanski talks up teacher pay rises, scaling back exams and fighting far right - taxing the rich to pay for it all.
Fair play from the Mail.
I said what I said.
Such a dilemma for Reform. How to be misogynistic and racist without attracting the support of well known misogynists and racists.
