🇬🇧 Race, Blood, and Soil: Viscount Lymington and Britain’s Homegrown Agrarian Fascism

"Lymington’s vision of national rebirth was agrarian in form but racial in substance; he imagined an England made strong and whole again by returning to its “native” soil, purging foreign and urban corruptions, and reasserting the dominance of its Anglo-Saxon stock."

"Zack Polanski has kicked off a charm offensive designed to convince trade unions to stop funding Labour and throw their weight behind the Green party, as he delivered the first in a series of speeches to union conferences."

“It’s time for a different approach. One that recognises that real learning, real skills, real understanding, can’t be measured only by standardised testing. One that recognises the vital role of arts and vocational subjects, and treats them equally within the curriculum.

“And one that genuinely equips children for the world they’re growing up into – giving them the media literacy they need in a dizzying social media and fake news landscape, the understanding of ecosystems and biodiversity vital to tackling the climate and nature crisis, and the creative and critical thinking skills that set us apart from machines in the age of AI.”

Tomorrow, Nigel "The Fuckwit" Farage is going to be in my city, spewing his hate.

I am disappointed so many appear to be going, but there is a cadre of comrades on Reddit having a gentle chat about it.

But I'm thinking more along the lines of: What can we do to ruin a right-winger's day?

We've already got a few suspended, a few secrets unearthed, we got bookings and reports cancelled, and a few fired from their jobs, but this is all small-fry.

I want a chonker.

UK Labour: They can drown, as long as the French do the drowning.

"A French minister has expressed concerns that the UK government was making excessive demands that could put the lives of asylum seekers at risk. Xavier Ducept, France’s junior minister for the sea, told a French parliamentary commission of inquiry last week: “What we want is for … the British to contribute to funding interception systems, which are very expensive. But they must not make this funding conditional on a type of efficiency that could be extremely dangerous for migrants, for the [security] services, and for France … Rescue comes first. And the law.”"
