An excellent plan. Russian interference is aggressive cyber warfare.

It's receiving cross party backing apart from the party who had a member found guilty of taking Russian bribes.

And Nathan Gill is serving time in jail. Sentenced for ten years in November 2025. Reform UK's response was to call his actions "reprehensible, treasonous and unforgivable".

To add he was described as a threat to national security.

Yes, as a teacher the kids at protests is no surprise. And yet, they often still turn up while we attempt to teach them trigonometry and Lord of the Flies...

People don't suddenly become thugs.

I imagine Uncle Vlad doesn't agree.

They probably said that with their fingers crossed.

I see Weinstein’s got another 15 years.

Good

My sentiments entirely.

The Russian bots on Twitter are very upset about this for some reason.

Parody Nigel Farage on bsky

Just because I strongly oppose any measure to tackle Russian misinformation, doesn’t mean I’m on Russia's side.

Interesting. There seems to be upset in some quarters other popular internet forums as well.

Great post. Except it's immigrants they hate.

Strange that.

"I felt a great disturbance in the Force ....as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced."

That’s good to hear.

Agree

Sorely miss the 😂 emoji sometimes Duncin

Nothing about Nigel is funny 😒

Not even parody.

Seems Yaxley Lennon has been arrested again, I think locking him up and throwing the key away would save a lot of police time at this point https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/tommy-robinson-detained-by-counter-terrorism-police-at-airport-409944/?fbclid=IwdGRjcAUhBbFwZG9mBWZkaWQWUO_ulFvGY6-6zcUQP7MZ60cE5fW_f2V4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkDzE3Mzg0NzY0MjY3MDM3MAABHsSvZ3lZlsK6SUlly_dPZ71c7BAjIynOKM3ZdGWDsV-tyO44Hd-8UXI5idTF_aem_tjvO1gDe60RGjZL7G9hclQ

Seems Yaxley Lennon has been arrested again
That's a shame - he seems such a nice chap. 😂

Sadly I believe they’ve already let the twat out. I’m all for arresting him every time he steps into the country though. Something will stick eventually.
