The mainstream media is not on the side of truth or democracy. That’s true on the USA, the UK and anywhere else these media tycoons own their monopolies. We have to fix this, now.

When ‘The land of the free’ stops being free
“The land of the free” is becoming “The land of control”. Elections, rights, and truth are all falling prey to authoritarianism and fascist ideology

Remember this story from last week? If they steal the midterm elections nothing else will matter. Not protests, economic strikes, nothing. We have to maintain free, fair elections. We have to.

Intelligence director says Trump requested her presence at FBI search of Georgia election center
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has told lawmakers that she attended an FBI search of the election center in Fulton County, Georgia, last week because President Donald Trump asked her to be there.
In the aftermath of the second world war, it took a mighty cohort of diplomatic, political and legal geniuses – Eleanor Roosevelt, Dean Acheson, Jean Monnet, Robert Schuman, Konrad Adenauer, Ernest Bevin and others – to establish the rules-based order whose “fading”, Mark Carney, prime minister of Canada, so eloquently and memorably described on January 20.

Actually, Germany calling: Following recent shootings in Minnesota, social media has been flooded with mix of authentic eyewitness videos and AI‑generated fakes.

Vote Farage = Get Trump

Vote Farage = Get Trump Watching the US right now, we can see that it’s not a very united, United States is it? Trump’s obsession with performative cruelty to progress his immigration policy is on view for the world to see. ICE is rampaging through Minneapolis, in Maine now, and other places too. If Reform come to power in the UK we can expect similar. In their document ‘Operation Restoring Justice’ they clearly lay out a plan to “identify, detain and deport illegal migrants” with what they call an “uncompromising legal reset with national scale enforcement”. They also state that: “A Reform Government will show unflinching resolve to ensure that deportations are prioritised”. Does that sound like ICE to you? It does to us. They intend, if in government, to remove migrants rights and OURS TOO! YES, everyone loses if we leave the ECHR. Reform will create a new enforcement unit called “UK Deportation Command”- ICE by another name. ICE which is currently marauding, with their faces covered, without accountability, whilst they harass, intimidate, terrorise, kidnap and murder people in Minneapolis and elsewhere. Do we really want that here? Is this how we want to behave towards vulnerable people fleeing war and persecution? And what happens when there are no more asylum seekers left. Who is next? One of the things that we, here at QM headquarters are wondering about is how Nigel Farage will respond to and label people who will protest and perhaps riot at the mass building of detention centres. Detention centres that will have the capacity to hold up to 24,000 people at any one time. Oh, and by the way no one is illegal. They are human beings without the correct paperwork.
Recently we posted this link which is a tool for tactical voting to keep Reform out.
It works, folks. The tool said that for the by-election in Bearsden Lib Dems were the best tactical vote… and they won! Well done Bearsden!

The Minneapolis revolt tells us this: even in Trump’s America, the people have power too.
