In case you had any doubt about who encouraged the bigots and racists to pile on to the RNLI.
His usual approach. Light the touch paper, retreat to a safe distance and wait for the gullible to do your bidding.
Meanwhile, you delete the post so you can say ‘not me guv.’

Sagal Abdi-Wali came to our country as a child refugee, has integrated in a manner that few people could possibly question, and has spent much of her life serving the society that welcomed her.
For more than a decade she has served her community as a charity volunteer and trustee, governor of two schools, local government officer and elected councillor, and today she leads Camden Council.
Tommy Robinson is a multiple-convicted violent drug addict.

Lest we forget: When a Reform councillor shared a post saying Labour MP Natalie Fleet “should be shot”, Farage refused to condemn it or sack him at PMQs.
Starmer called for basic decency, Farage deflected to the Chagos Islands and reportedly mouthed “No I won’t”.
Now Muhammad Ziauddin Yusuf and the rest scream like they own the moral high ground on threats and standards?
The double standards are shameless.

It feels oddly fitting that Starmer’s resignation comes ten years to the day since the Brexit vote, and the first resignation of the six PMs we’ve had since. Brexit didn’t destroy Starmer but it blew apart Britain’s political and economic stability. About time we acknowledged it.

Racist thugs terrorised these women.
Shame on everyone who gave them the confidence to do so.

Many of the newspaper editors, owners and lead commentators happy to back Trump's attacks on this country conspired to create Brexit with distorted, biased coverage. They have let their readers down and continue to do so.

Let me explain what just happened 👇
5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran… someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil.
5 minutes…
These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the entire market. Whoever did this wasn’t guessing. You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch.
There was zero public indication this announcement was coming. No leaks. No press. Nothing. The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made.
Someone in that room picked up a phone.
And within minutes they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes. In a single trade. On a war that cost you $4+ a gallon gas and $16 billion in tax dollars.
American citizens funded this war. Politicians are profiting from it.
This is not the first time. Every major announcement from this administration has had massive suspicious trades right before it dropped. Tariff reversals. Policy shifts. War decisions.
This is the most blatant insider trading operation in the history of American politics. It’s not even close. And it’s happening over and over in broad daylight.
You would go to federal prison for trading on a tip from your cousin. These people are front running war decisions with billion dollar bets and nobody will ever ask a single question.
Nobody will be investigated. Nobody will be charged. By tomorrow this will be buried under the next satisfying headline. Just like last time. And the time before that.
The game is rigged. And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore…
BREAKING: Just five minutes before Trump's announcement to halt the attacks on Iran, massive trades reportedly hit the market.
In one move, $1.5 billion in S&P 500 (ES) futures was bought while $192 million in oil (CL) futures was sold.
These orders were 4–6x larger than anything else at the time.
The trader seemingly made huge gains.
Unusual.

Lindsey Graham: “I feel good about where we’re going as a nation. We’re killing all the right people…Trump is my favorite president. We’ve run out of bombs.“
Every time this lunatic opens his mouth he pulls back the curtain and reveals just how sick the United States is.

The British Government's position is nuanced, clear, and correct. It's also frightfully dull, so will play badly on social media.

Lib Dem's @EdwardJDavey:
"Tax exiles like Isabel Oakeshott and washed up old footballers who mock ordinary people who stay in the UK & pay our taxes... As we protect them, it's only right for tax exiles to start paying taxes to fund our armed forces, just like the rest of us".

In 2017, I stepped onto the Facebook campus in Menlo Park. They took us to the Oculus VR lab first. A geeky engineer gave us a demo of the VR features and ended on the haptic gloves that let you "feel" virtual objects without touching anything real. Then he paused, voice almost reverent: “Imagine connecting anyone in the world… real social interaction… without ever leaving home.” The demo was amazing but I walked out with a strange feeling. This guy is "solving for humanity" and is excited about a world no longer needs physical human connection
We passed a long hall of developers. One guy—Black, friendly—leaned over his monitors and asked where the group of us (mostly Africans) was from. We chatted. His desk had big screens, half-eaten snacks, the faint smell of takeout lingering. His neighbor, paler watched curiously but, too timid to join. The desks were comfortable, the food smell everywhere, as it was available in every corner. It all felt… contained. Like this campus was its own sealed ecosystem, where the world outside was just data to optimize.
Fast-forward to 2020. I work at Andela, where we placed remote engineers with Silicon Valley teams. Some companies flew their leads over to meet the "remote" teammates in person. When they visited the Kigali campus I went to dinner with them. They were 5. Of this dinner I vividly remember 2 conversations. One guy launched into how "all humans are actually lactose intolerant after infancy… we're the only species that keeps drinking milk." They all nodded, confessed their own intolerances like it was a quirky universal truth. Then came the photos: a dog's birthday party. Balloons, cake, friends invited. The owner beamed like it was his kid's party. I love dogs. But something twisted in my chest. These are the people shaping the tools billions use every day—yet their version of care, connection, family… felt redirected, abstracted.
Now it's 2026, and Sam Altman says training an AI costs less than "raising a human"—because it takes "20 years of life and all the food you eat during that time before you get smart." He compared childhood—first steps, heartbreaks, scraped knees, bedtime stories, learning trust—to server racks and electricity bills. I think back to that VR promise of connection without leaving home… to offices smelling of food and isolation… to dogs celebrated like children while real human messiness gets optimized away
