Democracy is on it’s deathbed. By our Political Correspondent. The impulse to silence dissent is becoming a fixture of our political culture.

The recent restriction to the entry of commentators like Hasan Piker and Cenk […]
By Sam Hamad I can’t stand any aspect of Labour, but Tony Blair is such a particular and outstanding cunt. It’s not just that he had to get his cunt nose involved with the Gaza genocide, namely through Trump’s pro-Israel ethnic cleansing embezzlement vehicle known as the “Board of Peace”, or that he advocated that […]
By Indybag For people who run about the place raising flegs with so called christian crosses, Reform, Raise the Flag, Restore and the various capital R right wing groups seem to miss out massive chunks of the Bible that cut right through modern digital noise.

The political entity currently known as Reform UK presents itself as a radical departure from the established order, yet a closer inspection reveals it to be a rebranding of the most regressive elements of British political history.
