This is not a normal time. I think we're at the early stages of an attempt to turn the UK into an autocracy. There follows a thread about the military methodology that I think the Johnson/Cummings Regime is using to wage information war against you, and how you can fight back.\1

Chairman of @marksandspencer Archie Norman @therealarchie tells me on @TimesRadio that Brexit means they've had to hire a warehouse just to store the paperwork needed to export to the Republic of Ireland….

I remember when the working class had more self respect than to let posh privately educated pricks brainwash them into being racist or believing mad conspiracies. They profit from your bigotry for fucks sake. They’ve got you fighting culture wars so you don’t start a class war.

Haven’t watched a full episode of #BBCQT in years. Most enjoyable to watch Farage getting his arse handed to him by Campbell over Brexit. But the star turn was this guy.

Labour is hiking taxes on billionaires.
Don’t be distracted by the farmers protesting in Westminster. Inheritance tax on farmland means the super rich will pay their fair share.

A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, the health care we can access and, now, the information we receive.

Strikes me that though he seems cautious as fuck, Starmer has balls of steel. I mean, who takes on these vested interests in the face of the media? Landowners, private schools, landlords, exploiters. Who *does* that ffs? So long overdue everyone's in shock it's really happening.

Astonishing how many people are slagging me off for being critical of X and Musk. We live in an age of pitiful clothcap-doffing unctuousness.

Just got this message on Bluesky. What is echoed there is not opinions, but the mutual respect with which they are exchanged.
"I would say one of the best pros is that as a conservative I have engaged many liberals and most people have been very open to conversation. It overall just seems more civil and like what conversation or sharing your cultural beliefs and values should be like."

Gareth Wyn Jones, a distressed farmer, has a net worth of £25 million and earns £3 million a year from his YouTube efforts to plead poverty on behalf of his colleagues.
Perhaps Jo Coburn could have mentioned this.
Google him.

I made the decision to transition to the other place only this afternoon. Already - it's like old Twitter.
And then I saw this...
There's a massive shift going on!
Follow me there - I'm trying to find my tribe!
