Kevin Bridges has caused “outrage” for saying “the Queen won’t be the only old woman to die in this winter” which isn’t as much a joke as a factually accurate statement.
Don’t blame him cos you find the truth uncomfortable.

Like many senior Tories, Crosby is a master of 'Divide & Rule', & an expert in the 'Dark Arts' of voter manipulation, infamous for his 'dead cat' strategy & the promotion of toxic & deliberately divisive 'wedge issues' - evidence of which is everywhere in Britain at the moment.

In 2019, emaciated Stephen Smith, who in 2017 was deemed "fit to find work" by the DWP, died.

He won his appeal in 2019 after a tribunal judge saw he could barely walk down the street let alone hold down a job, but his health deteriorated.

In May NYPD shot and killed 25-year-old Rameek Smith, after they claimed he fired a gun at them. Eric Adams hailed the cops as heroes and called Rameek a career criminal.

Now bodycam video shows Rameek never fired a gun, and the cops shot him in the back as he was running away.

Two survivors of child abuse- yet Tommy Robinson & his gang hate us!
Because we say ALL victims matter; we don’t use children’s pain to make money or stir up race hate.

Brexit campaigners and the Prime Minister repeatedly denied that leaving the EU would be used as a means to strip workers of their rights, and attacked anyone who suggested otherwise.

It turns out that doing just that is now one of the government's number one priorities.

This Day in Labor History: September 2, 1885. White Knights of Labor members destroy Chinese community in Rock Springs, Wyoming, killing at least 28 Chinese in order to make the mines lily white. Let's talk about another incident where white solidarity trumped class solidarity!

This Day in Labor History: September 3, 1991. A chicken factory in Hamlet, North Carolina caught of fire thanks to nonexistent safety procedures, killing 25 workers and injuring another 55. Let's talk about this horrible, preventable disaster and why it matters today!

I wrote a book called "Empire Socialism" a while back (you can read it for free on Medium if you want) amzn.to/3B6cfUA

Today I finally tracked down the 1925 pamphlet by R Palme Dutt with the same title. Looking forward to reading it. Suspect I'll see the same themes.

In January this year, Deborah Turness was appointed CEO of @BBCNews. What most people are unaware of - either by accident or design - is that she is married to little-known John Toker - the UK Govt Cabinet Office's Director of Communications for Security & Intelligence.

My elders grew up at a time when there were certain roads you couldn't walk through because you'd get your head kicked in by racist thugs. They organised to physically defend our communities from racist attacks. It's not a sub-genre of academia for us- it's our lived experience.
