"This machine kills fascists" would go hard.
'Our flag won the war - against fascism' is the message I think antiracists should include on protests against fascists

Point taken, but there's also a point about what's suitable for display from a private space (and also from some public/govt buildings) not being so good plastered all over public spaces,(Sunder implies this).

This breaks my heart. Translating was the only dayjob work I've ever done that I actually enjoyed, but I had to stop because I couldn't make a living from it. Easily the most underappreciated and underpaid profession on earth.

I see that those complaining 10 years ago that there were too many Europeans coming to the UK and that we therefore needed to leave the EU are now saying that there are too many non-Europeans coming to the UK.

So that's three jumpers with nothing to wear under them except the fourth top, so that's one day, two items burned already, I mean what are we doing here? I'd also suggest packing at least one item of footwear that isn't really ugly
Packing light is a science, and if you're the list-making type, the 5-4-3-2-1 method is a great place to start. Hereโs what it suggests for a weeklong trip: nyti.ms/41hcqJv

Just your usual reminder that under no circumstances should GB News have a broadcast licence in the UK. The fact that they do is evidence of pathetic supine weakness on the part of the state. bylinetimes.com/2025/08/21/o...
Ofcom Refuses to Investigate GB News Over Call to Shoot Disabled Benefit Claimants
The watchdog also refused to investigate a complaint about a presenter's use of an anti-trans slur, saying the comments were "in line with audience expectations for this channel"
