There were huge marches today against war, genocide, fascism and for Scottish independence. The usual powers that be, including their lackeys in the press, will no doubt play these events down, but is the writing on the wall?

@IndyRichard
Because of what was going to be going on today I was looking back through my posts as I had a vague memory of one that did a semi-coherent job of explaining what life it is like to be in a group being marginalised for politcal ends.

Weirdly I think the fact the extreme right are clearly a phenomenon created by interests outside the UK, we might just have the perfect alignment of experiences to reach mutual recognition and understanding..

From a reply 3 years or so ago to
@ChrisMayLA6

Why does this give me a feeling of deja vu?
Because media manipulation is a signal the current government is failing?
No that's not it.

Is it because the Chair of the BBC has always been a political appointment and therefor not impartial from the outset?
No that's not it either.

Oh I know - it's that feeling of suddenly having common ground with people that up until this point have been on the other side of a cover-up.

All of the mass media in the UK have been shoring up right-wing madness, well since forever. Voices that are inconvenient to the narrative being spun, get ignored or side-tracked by false-flaggers or villified.

By putting "unwanted ideas" in a box with Flat Earthers or QANON those arguments get tainted by association, and it's only until people start experiencing things with their own skin that the "Wait a minute ....!??!?!" happens.

@IndyRichard let's hope so. I saw many of the faces I know from pro Palestine marches, anti fascist counter protests outside asylum seeker accommodation and last week's Edinburgh Stop the Far Right march today. Plus felt the energy from the 500,000 marching in London against the Far Right. We are the many and they are the few.
