It’s irrational and pointless I know but I can’t help feeling angry with US for making it possible for someone like Trump, with a criminal record and a long history of proven dishonesty, to stand for President in the first place; and anger with the people who voted for him to be President for a second term, even after he’d been impeached, twice, during his first.

I also feel anger at those in this country who still support Reform when Farage and his “Party” are know to have links to Bannon, Trump, Putin and others. Are they blind? Don’t they remember the lies and illegality that preceded Brexit?

We owe it to the electorate, if we’re going to vote, to do some basic homework.

@EUCommission My message to you:

#MAGA oligarch like Elon Musk will meddle in European #elections more than the Russians ever did!

We need to disconnect further from USA, and we need to do it quickly, or we might find ourselves in a Jan 6th situation, with #AfD or #NationalFront claiming elections were fraudulent, requesting military aid from the USA to help overturn the election ...

Jake Broe’s dire warning to #europe

If we elect far-right parties like #NationalFront in France, #Reform in the UK, #AfD in Germany, there’s a good chance they will emulate what Trump has done and go ahead and claim the #elections where they get voted out as fraudulent.

These parties are tied to both #MAGA & Russian oligarch funding, and also would have no problem of requesting military support from USA to help them overthrow any election result they don’t like!

#JDraper’s latest London #History Show: “How We Beat The #Fascists Last Time”

A really good, solid 48 1/2 minutes on how #antifa activists from the musical and South Asian communities united to shut down the #UK's #NationalFront in the late 1970’s, detailing tactics and featuring interviews with organisers Tariq Mehmood and Red Saunders.

(And, just quietly, Ms Draper is well worth a follow on #YouTube, IMO. Her videos are absolutely top-notch.)

How We Beat The Fascists Last Time: The London History Show

YouTube

Scrolling through media these days there are endless England and Union flags with comments like “to the death“. I find this very worrying. If Reform and their ilk keep fanning the flames we know where it can end.

Flags are intended to be symbols of unity, but are increasingly being weaponised by those who want to divide us.

This spate of flag worship is very unhealthy; far from promoting our country and its people it’s being used to divide us and to scapegoat those new to our shores for political gain.

I’m very proud of our country for its kindness, decency and inclusiveness

I’m proud to see our flags flying to celebrate that and all the remarkable people in our community and throughout the country.

Patriotism is about supporting each other, not attacking somebody else, especially vulnerable people fleeing oppression, or conflicts (many of which we in UK have helped bring about).

Driving round out town yesterday the white circles at mini-roundabouts had all been painted with the Cross of St George. Now someone has added “f[**]k racists” , a sentiment I agree with but not the act or the act of daubing graffiti on our highways. Farage is desperate to cause civil unrest at a time of the year when riots are most prone to happen. And BBC and other media continue to give him a disproportionate amount of airtime; not to mention GB News, which isn’t a news channel at all but a propaganda outlet for extreme right Wing fantasists.

Johnson through his behaviour encouraged liars to lie - same now with Trump - Farage and his ilk encourage racists to to be racist.

Just pondering parallels between current UK politics and the rise of the Nazis. If #Farage is an incipient Hitler, then Johnson was assuredly Von Papen. If he hadn’t purged his Tory party of all but the most unelectable pudding-brains, #Reform would still be a fringe group (even though news media would still have Nasty Nigel on speed-dial). Now they’re a national threat. And I’ve just realised he shares his initials with the #NationalFront.

Patriotism is about supporting each other, not attacking somebody else, especially vulnerable people fleeing oppression, or conflicts (many of which we in UK have helped bring about).

Patriotism is about loving your country enough to make it a place where no one is homeless, or hungry, held back, or left behind.

Patriotism doesn’t wave flags.

Patriotism addresses underlying causes, instead of looking for easy ‘solutions’ designed to cause division.

Patriotism doesn’t look for scapegoats.

Patriotism takes responsibility.

Patriotism is colour blind.

Patriotism isn’t self-serving.

Patriotism recognises we are part of a wider world, our actions have consequences for us and others, and may rebound on us. Our country is safest, and most likely to prosper, when we operate responsibly as part of the global community.
