He literally set off a bomb in a UK street. If this had been the IRA Pierce would calling for them to be hung, drawn and quartered.
This is domestic terrorism pure and simple. A bomb set off to terrorise with the aim of getting a government to change its policy. Literally a textbook definition.

I live in Gosport although I almost ashamed to admit it. I take some comfort in the fact that a considerable number of the protesters do not appear to live here.
Reform just launched Facebook ads *specifically* targeting the Gosport area (PO12-14 postcodes), scene of repeated protests against the arrival of small boats.

Full marks to Bobby J for not bothering to mention that this was entirely due to being given £45 million from the Labour government and told to do it. Even a Reform council couldn't fuck that up.

It's a miracle nobody is injured.
And Reform MP Sarah Pochin calls his imprisonment "disproportionate" and "two tier justice."

Look at the contrast here with what happened with the masked jackbooted thugs who descended on Dover the other day.
Dozens of arrests at Liverpool outside the Labour Party conference.
Elderly 'terrorists' protesting against the genocide were manhandled away by Merseyside Police using Labour legislation proscribing Palestine Action.
This is a matter of deep shame for Labour.

This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a Wispa.
Netflix's new reality show "Wonka's Golden Ticket" uses AI Gene Wilder as its host. The beloved comedian passed away in 2016, but his voice lives on in AI form. At least Netflix didn't use AI to create the new Oompa Loompas.
What do you think of this AI resurrection? Let us know in the comments 👇

I live in Gosport and I certainly don't feel that we've been invaded except possibly by Reform and Restore supporters.

Just because I strongly oppose any measure to tackle Russian misinformation, doesn’t mean I’m on Russia's side.
In unrelated news, one of the few times I bothered turning up for work as an MEP was to vote AGAINST measures to tackle the spread of Russian misinformation...

I'm pretty sure I went to that one. Obviously "The Devils" is the most renowned but I have a soft spot for both the others which are both completely bonkers in their own way.
On this day (23rd September) in 1989, the Scala Cinema was showing Crimes Of Passion (1984), Lair Of The White Worm (1988) and The Devils (1971) as a Ken Russell triple bill.
