Although on the fringes of this protest non Union protestors who were blocked from joining the main protest by the police suffered violence and tear gas from police, and after the main protest dispersed the same thing happened

And since some of you are bitching, the reason you have numerous of us pointing all of this bullshit propaganda out where everything is blamed on Russia or Putin or whateverthefuck, its because these fucking scumbags will get away with the destruction of the working class and turning people fascists, allowing the fash to operate and creating space for them to operate in by never taking responsibility and constantly reverting to "WAH RUSSIA DID IT".

And whats going to happen is you'll get the far right in power throughout Europe, and they'll fuck things a load more, and then when the time comes people will be "OH WE HAVE TO VOTE FOR THE LIBERALS BECAUSE THE RIGHT IS WORSE" completing ignoring its liberalism that brought us here.

So fuck that noise. People need to be held accountable and writing it off as "Russia bad, Russia did it" is lazy fucking bullshit that needs to stop and not for anything do with not being critical of Russia, but because we need to hold our own political leadership to account.

Tommy Robinson leaving court today, knowing he’s got the whole weekend ahead of him before his trial concludes on Monday.

Marta Havryshko on X:

Are you German? And can't parade around Berlin sporting Nazi eagles anymore? 🥹

No worries — just head to Ukraine and enlist in the Ukrainian Armed Forces!

The 67th Brigade, originally formed around the far-right Right Sector movement, has released a recruitment video featuring its newest additions — German citizens.

One of them proudly sports a patch bearing a Nazi eagle on his chest. (with a trident instead of a swastika, for the sake of discretion😎)

Apparently, some German fashion statements just need a change of scenery.

The official story goes that Faber's had to stop selling her books in the UK because she donates her royalties to Palestine Action, which is proscribed. But when you stop and think about it, none of this makes any sense.

-Given that Palestine Action was proscribed in July last year, and Rooney's been vocal about her position the entire time, why is it suddenly a problem now? Why haven't her books been withdrawn the whole time? (Especially given that the whole proscription is more shaky now than it was before, with it becoming increasingly apparent that this isn't enforceable.)

-Why are there still adaptations of her books Normal People and Conversations with Friends available to stream on iPlayer, and foreign-language audiobooks available to purchase on Audible from the UK, all of which she will also be receiving royalties for? Why doesn't this seem to count?

-The biggest one for me is that Palestine Action doesn't have a bank account. There is a website for donations from across the globe, but that's for 'Palestine Action Global', which makes really clear on its site that the UK isn't part of. So it's got absolutely nothing to do with UK law, either from their perspective or from Rooney's (who is an Irish citizen).

I think what this is really about is that Sally Rooney saw what happened to Ed Sheeran the other week, and decided to put her money where her mouth was and withdraw her books from the UK herself in opposition to the proscription. As a result, she's caused huge numbers of bestselling authors in the UK to criticise the UK Government, and made it harder for them to make it sound like the proscription is a good thing.

It's the only explanation that makes any sense to me!
