@ihrf I can’t work out why anyone is even slightly surprised by this. During the miners strike, it suddenly became illegal to drive down certain roads, but only if you were a miner. The police can do what they want and make it up after the event and always have been able to. Then it comes down to court, who has the most money or patience, and the things they want to do achieve has been achieved anyway.
I’ve deleted Facebook and Twitter back off my phone. They’re designed to give you that serotonin rush and you end up, not paying attention to things and people you should be paying attention to. Mastodon doesn’t do this.

I never really minded the royals. Didn't even think about them. They're a soap opera I don't watch.
But if you wanna turn a "don't know" into a hardcore republican, spend £100m on a farcical party for a bored billionaire while people are starving, then arrest anyone who tuts.

No, this is exactly what Britain is and this is what the British police are. It’s just that it didn’t affect you before, so you didn’t notice. https://twitter.com/mikegalsworthy/status/1654753876250181635

Happy Ignore A Hereditary Billionaire's Taxpayer-Funded Hat Wearing Party Day, for all who celeberate
The other thing about the billionaire gets a gold hat. Trope is that the gold hat is covered in stolen gems. This is something that people need to be aware of the empire was thievery on a grand scale. It’s reckoned that something like £3 trillion was taken from India alone.

If,as Sir John Curtice suggests, Labour are doing particularly well in Brexit voting areas doesn’t that confirm that the 2019 result was less about Mr Corbyn and all about Brexit, something Starmers mob have long denied.

It is *insane* how completely the 2017 General Election has been erased from the minds of the melt media and political class. Utterly unhinged behaviour. Real-time historical revisionism.

@lisanandy I didn't. Who would put their faith in turncoats?

People really talk shit. Starmer has ruled out all of this. https://twitter.com/H57William/status/1654384744912617474
Just discovered https://perplexity.ai - if you're in a rabbit hole mood. Lets you drill down threads. Feels non-bullshit. Suspect the AI bit is the usual hipster bs but I like the interface.

Do we now have a law banning the undermining of celebrations? Is their now a custodial sentence for making a scene? I wasn't planning to go and shout abuse at the procession, but threatened over-reach like this really does bring the expletives to the tip of my tongue. https://twitter.com/metpoliceuk/status/1653745710724968448

@trussliz Are you for real?
A few quid off a council tax bill can't make up for the catastrophic damage you did to our economy.
Hard working people can't afford their mortgages because of you.
You've got absolutely no shame.

Apparently local elections will allow Labour to introduce a windfall tax on energy companies. https://twitter.com/RachelReevesMP/status/1653703410586091521

We need to stop lining the pockets of the property developers and make homes affordable.
We need a publicly-owned and democratically controlled housing sector.
We need a massive expansion of council housing.
We need a new publicly-owned building corporation to implement it.
After all, this is what every leftie wants: a Labour government with ideas that would appeal to the Tory Party. Clearly, Starmer is the leader we want and deserve. https://open.substack.com/pub/councilestatemedia/p/starmer-sets-out-his-vision-for-the?r=cfvq7&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post
