If you need proof that Elon musk pushes right wing and bot accounts- my For You page is full of Tommy Robinson sympathisers. This couldn’t be more the opposite of my feelings. I’m glad he’s guilty and hopefully the start of these lying racist grifters falling apart.

The amount of right wingers who reply to my comments and then immediately block because they know that facts will hurt them on this platform is unreal.

I’d nearly forgotten the clocks go back this weekend until I read some of the posts here and realised we’d already gone back to the 1930’s

In the 35 years before privat­isa­tion, almost 100 reser­voirs were built. In the 35 years since privat­isa­tion, not one. An industry in need of reform.

This article was written 114 years ago. 114 years, and we still aren't doing what we need to do to address the climate crisis. No time to wait. #ActOnClimate #Climate #energy #ClimateEmergency #renewable

Imagine crying to a foreign rapist about your own nations next Prime Minister while pretending you’re a patriot that wants to “protect women and girls” from foreign rapists. It’s not just hypocritical but so fucking desperate. Wind your neck in, you tiny chancer.
FYI @realDonaldTrump This is the latest disgrace dragging the United Kingdom through the mud. Keep your eye on him. We are.

There’s no principle to the riots. Just violence for the sake of it.
This hasn’t gone viral the way it should. Jamie Corry, an Irish lad from east Belfast, has lost his home of 13 years after masked rioters set fire to cars outside and it engulfed his house in last night’s violent chaos. He stood right there and begged one of them: “This is my house. This is my house.” They didn’t care. They burned it anyway. “They’ve done it to one of their own.” These racist, uneducated thugs and street urchins destroy everything in their path. They don’t care who gets hurt: locals, families, their own community. Just mindless arsonists ruining innocent lives with no excuse.

You'll want to be sitting down for this bit. Water companies are currently £82.7 billion in debt, have paid themselves £85 billion in dividends, leak over a trillion of litres of water per year, dump sewage for almost 4 million hours per year, have been convicted of over 1,200 criminal acts since 1989 and an average of 35% of your bill goes on nothing but paying more interest and yet more dividends. And not a single company has ever lost their operating licence. 👇
Yorkshire Water and Northumbrian Water have nearly 200 criminal convictions between them. On 6 August 2024, Ofwat fined them £47m and £17m for sewage dumping. Fines not paid, will not be paid. Firms claim to have invested. No penalty for abusing laws leftfootforward.org/2026/01/…

Definitely work a read
Important notes re. the “riots” 1. People have been made violent about immigration, it’s been embedded by a rich far right, media normalisation, constant uncritical platforming of extremists and conspiracy. Factually, it’s about radicalisation not girls or legitimate concerns.

Who thinks Elon Musk should back the fuck out of UK politics as we don’t give a shit about his opinion 🤷🏻‍♂️

Really insightful. Musk using his wealth to generate more wealth for himself and the spread of lies and disinformation. Too many people believe the utter bullshit this man spreads and repeats it. A dangerous and selfish individual

Brendan was in the middle of a 12-hour shift, as a carer, when his car was torched by thugs. #BBCBreakfast

Liverpool's Spellow Lane library torched last night. What could be more 'patriotic' than destroying a centre which serves the local community?

A baying mob of hateful bastards has now smashed windows to gain entry to a hotel containing asylum seekers in Rotherham. Nationwide these scumbags are targeting anyone not white. Where the FUCK is the government? Call in the army for christs sake.
