Over on X, the far-right British Patriots have launched a hate campaign against the RNLI
They are recording RNLI volunteers in order to dox them, reveal their identities and publish details of where they and their families live
These men are dangerous

Not that many years since a popular position in right-wing British politics was calling for the police to use significant force to remove protesters blocking roads
Of course, that was when environmentalists were doing it

The word ‘protesters’ doing a lot of heavy lifting here considering there are no banners or message, just a bunch of masked idiots.

Nigel Farage suggests the police advised him against attending the result of the Clacton by-election.
Essex Police completely deny this, telling the BBC "we have a proportionate and robust policing operation to ensure the safety and security of all participants in the count"

Have the British public always been so self centred?
I’m staggered by how many people I’ve seen saying ‘I don’t use buses so what good is that?’ Or ‘pubs aren’t for me so who cares?’
Millions of people do use each and they are both pretty vital for our economy and society

The BBC and other broadcasters have swallowed the right's small boat invasion narrative hook, line and sinker. They have no interest in reporting a fall in crossings - especially as the weather cannot be blamed. Normal service will be resumed if numbers start rising again.
No arrivals by small boats for the last 10 days now. As of yesterday, 12,469 people had arrived so far this year across the Channel, down over 11,000 (47%) on the same time last year. More than 10% down on 2023 as well, which was when crossings were, by comparison to other years, lower.

This. Stop calling them ‘protesters’. They’re thugs.
Demonstrations sometimes turn violent but if you’re turning up in a balaclava specifically to burn houses and throw paving stones at the police are you really a “demonstrator” or “protester” or are you something else?

Textbook smear from this putrid, lying paper. The story itself makes clear that whatever did or did not occur was only in Rayner’s constituency, and nothing to do with her.
Headline implies she has committed electoral fraud. Contemptible.
