Such good news. It’s restored my faith in my fellow humans.

I'll second that :)

Fuck sake. There is a thread inviting people to watch a Tommy Robinson documentary about how the authorities are out to get the poor little innocent soul.

I've reported it, and asked them to take it down, particularly in current circumstances. Driving traffic to that work of fiction is not helpful.
They've left it up. Feel free to report it if you feel the need.

This is our country. Finally we can start to feel proud again.

As noted, bots can't go on demonstrations...

I thought this interview with Peter Kyle was interesting. He seems thoughtful and empathetic, and a good addition to the Ccabinet.

Yes. It's lifted my mood no end. I'm still apprehensive for the weekend when booze culture emboldens the scrotes more but everything feels so much less hopeless.

I hope there are bigger anti racism demonstrations this weekend

CassieMaddox · 07/08/2024 23:48

That's so cute

Aaaargh need emojis. Nothing more to say about that

Dropping "legal but harmful" is one of the reasons I dislike Badenoch and am infuriated by some feminists for her. "Legal but harmful" is exactly the way to deal with a lot of streaming porn and associated harm to women.

PickAChew · 08/08/2024 00:08

Of course the bots are insisting that all the counter protesters have been played and look how much police time they wasted.

I'm sure all the coppers that had to give up their leave are at least relieved not to have been bonked on the head, tonight.

I'm 100% sure the police would much rather be sent to watch peaceful counter protesters supporting law and order than the riots of the last week.

I'm not going to go looking for the thread where posters are linking to a Yaxley-Lennon "documentary" but if it's the one referred to in this article, there was/is an injunction against screening it and continuing to spread the proven false claims, then wouldn't Mumsnet also be at risk for helping disseminate it? Hmm

Yaxley-Lennon is accused of contempt of court for showing it.

Not necessarily confuses but I find these are great little visuals 🤔🧐🤨😵‍💫

That's a Bit More Like It, people, proud of you all and our long anti-fascist heritage. As for Farage, Fox, Hopkins, Yaxley and Co, they're rats in a sack. I hope they enjoy each others company.

Hopefully rats in a prison cell soon

Robert Jenrick. What an utter tosser. Haven't got the energy to describe him further. Horrible, horrible person trying to outdo Cruella for sheer nastiness. Repellent and ignorant with it.

I'm wondering what Braverman thinks now about her comment regards not wanting to be forced to join reform.

Does she still consider herself aligning that far right?

After all - her reform supporters were dragging people from cars the other day for their British enough test. She's have failed. (Btw I don't agree with that).

She's almost made herself politically homeless by emboldening the racists.

I live in hope that means she'll fuck off though 🤞

I don't think she has the self-awareness to realise, her ego gets in the way.

Quisling. Cruella, you think they don't mean you, just those other immigrants and mixed heritage people and their families? I'm afraid you're wrong. You and yours are at the front of the queue of those people they hate. If you're arrogant enough to believe the opposite then that's a misperception.

L1ttledrummergirl · 08/08/2024 08:29

Thank you everyone. That's the sort of rubbish that turned my relative from a middle of the road, tolerant fabulous human being into someone I don't recognise anymore. It seem innocuous but it really is the start of a very slippery slope.

It starts with the poor little soul, being attacked by the state, now we see what the state is like, and know something others don't, let's see what else we can find out. Conspiracy theory is the visible tip of the iceberg, it's designed to draw people in and leads to a breakdown in society.

Owlbookend · 08/08/2024 08:35

Really heartened to see the anti-racist protests. Didn’t see the news last night and woke up to it this morning.

medianewbie · 08/08/2024 08:49

@Owlbookend - hopefully the tide is turning.

TheOnlyMrsW · 08/08/2024 08:52

A friend shared something last night about rioters being greeted in Brighton by drag queens and a samba band - so hope this happened!
