Poole Old Lifeboat Museum said it made the decision after several incidents of "protesters verbally assaulting our volunteers".

And you may be interested in making a country leave a powerful block of countries all working together to advance their economic and regulatory interests.

Like, uh... The EU?

Mass migration has serious issues that should be part of public discourse, but this is not it.

Call the thing what it is: violent political intimidation. Calling it “terrorism” just validates a framing the government uses (with far more energy and determination than it’s shown this week) to demonise protests against climate crisis and genocide

”During the incident, the RNLI said it also helped to ensure the safety of anti-migrant protesters who had entered the sea off Portsmouth.”

I’d say this was a mistake…

Not necessarily Russia-directed. It's not so much a conspiracy as a general modus operandi. Fascists create problems. They also make perfectly normal things (like people wanting to live in a different country or social gender) into a moral panic.

Then they say they're the only ones who can solve the problems.

Then if you're STUPID ENOUGH to elect them, they empty the treasury into their mates' pockets and send masked police to kill you if you complain.

Many of them are YouTube creators, receiving $$$ from their high IQ content. They're very active across multiple big tech platforms.

(it's almost as if Big Tech are on the same side as them!!!)

Seeing the other story this morning about Ilfracombe pensioners breaking traffic lights because they cause brain cancer makes me think there is no story too stupid to not gain traction.
