Essential thread.
90 years ago, Parliament responded to the rise of Oswald Mosley's Blackshirts by passing the Public Order Act, which banned political uniforms, private militias and the threat of force for political objects.

The debates make very resonant reading today. Here's the Liberal Robert Bernays. (Short 🧵)

Finally they came for the Daily Mail and my irony meter just packed up and left and I never heard from it again.
Daniel Thomas / Danny Tommo has today marched his private army of blackshorts to Daily Mail HQ to demand a new house for his mum within 48 hrs, after they doorstepped her for a feature on him.
Apparently he plans to blockade them + cry at them until they do

Bet those lads are glad of the balaclavas

In which the richest man in the world tries to incite turmoil, fear and loathing in my city from the safety of his fortified home thousands of miles away.

The pathetic little coward.

Also why are these patriots being directed by an American?

Can't they organise their own fist fight?
Esp given assassination of Kirk in US i find Musk's intervention here, calling for dissolution of parliament and a new govt, really scary .

Also UK govt bodies should get the fuck off X.

Absolutely horrified and disgusted to see so many people openly attending a fascist rally in our capital.

All reported breathlessly on news channels and in some sections of the media.

Everyone attending is complicit in this country's rapid decline into extremism.
Deeply disturbed to see today's 'Unite the Kingdom' march in London with 100,000+ attendees.

This was likely the largest far-right protest in British history and was led by Tommy Robinson and addressed by Elon Musk.

The far right are emboldened like never before. But, here's the good news... 🧵

Hello! The US housing market has gotten very expensive, but I still dream of one day owning a home in a walkable neighborhood. In that spirit, I'm offering my consulting services. If you support the Trump tariffs, I can help you find US suppliers. Let me show you some examples. 🧵

Muting fascism will not make it go away.

It's like pretending that the raging fire in your kitchen isn't happening and that if you just shut the door on it - the inferno will disappear.

WRONG.

It WILL burn your house down.

Farage insisting that he has an inside track to Trump while also not getting invited to the swearing in is bang on brand. As, sadly, is the fact that his dishonesty & humiliation will be ignored by much of the media.

Make no mistake. Every politician, pundit & online grifter amplifying Musk's dangerous lies will be aware of this intervention by now. Make no mistake, they are choosing to mislead the public & politicise the suffering of victims in the shameful pursuit of political advantage, attention & clicks.
