This keeps circulating on Twitter now the figure head of the vigil arrests is popping back up.

For the first time I can’t tell if I’m getting sucked into some vast conspiracy, that there are links between fascists and genuine police agitator plants or it’s all just some weird conspiracy.

My guess is it’s some where very in between, with grifters hijacking protests.

Not sure if it is funnier if it's sincere, a joke, or a psyop tbh.

The Met: not racist, but #1 at employing racists!

In the same week as the galaxy-brained take "Nigel Farage: not racist, but #1 at pandering to racists" too.

Very cool that the BBC has given huge amounts of coverage this morning to an antivaxer just because he happens to be very, very good at tennis.

It's fine, we just have to go harder on being a white supremacist heteropatriarchal fertility cult, otherwise 'the authoritarian regimes' win.

Hard to argue - why, if the entire population died off but the money remained, the UK would be the richest country per capita on Earth!

Amusing to see the SNP mooting women-only train carriages and getting at worst a lukewarm reception. As a Corbyn policy it somehow faced a fierce backlash twice over.

It wasn't even a policy. He just mentioned it as a concept in passing.

If you want to erase your family, this might be the wrong thread for help. Even if your family are landlords, which is what them making you homeless sounds like.

In his speech on Monday, Dowden sought to suggest that “woke” ideology was weakening the west at a time when it is facing threats from aggressive states such as Russia. “Rogue states are seeking to challenge the international order. And at the precise point when our resolve ought to be strongest, a pernicious new ideology is sweeping our societies,” Dowden said.

“It goes by many names. In Britain, its adherents sometimes describe themselves as ‘social justice warriors’. They claim to be ‘woke’, awakened to the so-called truths of our societies. But wherever they are found, they pursue a common policy inimical to freedom.”

He claimed “woke” ideology was now “everywhere”.

“It’s in our universities, but also in our schools. In government bodies, but also in corporations. In social science faculties, but also in the hard sciences,” Dowden said. “But I tell you, it is a dangerous form of decadence. Just when our attention should be focused on external foes, we seem to have entered this period of extreme introspection and self-criticism.

“And it really does threaten to sap our societies of their own self-confidence. Just when we should be showcasing the vitality of our values, and the strength of democratic societies, we seem to be willing to abandon those values for the sake of appeasing this new groupthink.”

Dowden said the west had become “obsessed by what divides us rather than what unites us”.

He added: “The US and the UK may certainly be very different societies. But we are joined by the same fundamental values. Neither of us can afford the luxury of indulging in this painful woke psychodrama … Too many people have already fallen for the dismal argument that standing up for freedom is reactionary or that somehow it’s kind or virtuous to submit to these self-righteous dogmas. Well, it plainly is not.”

if anything, that headline underplays it, his actual speech was some real dead-eyed fash screed about purging the decadent Other from society as a matter of national survival, lest western civilization lose it's masculine virility.
