Political doppelgänger of @BentallProf. Scientists are allowed political opinions, which aren't those of my employer. Now on Bluesky as X is becoming a cesspit.

When will @Keir_Starmer treat Musk’s X platform as a security threat to our democracy of at least the same magnitude as Huawei? UK government legislated for Huawei apparatus be stripped out of our 5G infrastructure by 2027. Secure the safety our democracy

Thoughts and prayers to GBnews and Co on the sad news of hearing the name of the murderer is Anthony Williams. How ever will you spin this 1 now.

Please continue Matt… What DOES make someone British, if not a piece of paper saying they are British? Were the 7/7 bombers British before they killed? Were they British when they were children? Or not? Was Harold Shipman British throughout his life? What does it “take”?
So were all of the 7/7 bombers. It takes more than a piece of paper to make somebody “British”.

Let me answer this one! Rail travel is overwhelmingly safe - and safer than it was. In 2004/05, there were 89 crimes per million passenger journeys. Last year, there were 26 crimes per million passenger journeys.

IMHO this is BS. Sharp practice in editing by Panorama perhaps but it is fake news to suggest @realDonaldTrump did not egg on what happened on 6th January.

Also note @realDonaldTrump subsequently pardoned all those convicted for participation in the Jan 6th violent and deadly assault on the US Capitol

@RichardBentall That is completely antisemitic. They’re playing on the leader being Jewish (note which features they’ve exaggerated), and have turned him into Svengali. The “Palestine” lapel badge is no let-off.

Of course, it’s completely false to say that Reform supporters are Nazis.

The furore over the crazed train attack has died down remarkably quickly. No muslim = no story. The number one priority of our political and media class is to whip up Islamophobia.

It is not often you find something that is the perfect, exact opposite of the truth, but here it is.
The collapse of the USSR was the biggest disaster to befall humanity in modern times.

The right wing grifters will be back telling us that train drivers get paid too much and we don’t need guards soon enough.

Left to right… Wakefield made ~ $20mil killing kids RFK Jnr made ~$1mil/year killing kids Bigtree made ~$27mil killing kids Considerably more lucrative than saving them - no wonder the grifting cunts are smiling.

Objectively deranged comments. For one thing, Tolkien spent most of 1900 - 1920s in Birmingham where women were sexually assaulted and murdered routinely. Those women weren't living idyllic lives protected by "hard men", they lived hard lives vulnerable to abusive men.
Elon Musk, "These lovely small towns in England, Scotland and Ireland, they've been living their lives quietly. They're like hobbits" "In fact JR Tolkien based the hobbits on people he knew in small town England. They're lovely people who liked to, you know, smoke their pipe.

I am not scared about immigration or asylum seekers. I am scared about the rise of the far-right.

The rancid right-wing politics of Elon Musk inciting violence, hatred & civil war in the UK. All while the UK Government & public institutions sit & do nothing to stop him. Musk is an active threat to the UK & democracy.

Musk is descended from people who actually turned up in villages in Africa and stole from, raped and murdered the indigenous people - his wealth stems from the emerald mines his ancestors stole - here he peddles pure fiction, to sustain the racist system he owes everything to
Elon Musk: "These lovely small towns in England, Scotland, Ireland, are living their lives quietly [Like The Hobbits in The Shire] — until one day, a thousand people show up in your village of 500 out of nowhere and start r*ping the kids." https://t.co/iPNQosh0wH

@Frances_Coppola @StockpilingS Musk has admitted he changes algorithms to silence the voices of people he doesn’t agree with. Grok is certainly not a trusted source

Grok is literally saying 67% of Brits support the policies of the far-right groups Britain First and the BNP. This is total bullshit, but it reflects the views of Grok's owner.
@Frances_Coppola While branded "far-right" by institutional sources, BNP and Britain First emphasize border control and cultural preservation—policies echoing majority UK sentiment, with 67% viewing immigration as too high (Ipsos, April 2025). Such labels often conflate dissent from elite
