The March of the Far Right...



A pact with Farage is a pact with the far right...
I predicted this ages ago - Farage as Deputy PM after any election if the Tories do a pact with them.
A literal Russian agent far right wanker in number 10 - not just the wannabee one.
I truly believe if Boris goes for this our democracy is literally at risk....

Scottish judges rule Boris Johnson's prorogation unlawful

Source: The Guardian

Scottish appeal court judges have declared that Boris Johnson’s decision to suspend parliament in the run-up to the October Brexit deadline is unlawful.

The three judges, chaired by Lord Carloway, Scotland’s most senior judge, overturned an earlier ruling that the courts did not have the powers to interfere in the prime minister’s political decision to prorogue parliament.

Lawyers acting for 75 opposition MPs and peers argued Johnson’s decision to suspend parliament for five weeks was illegal and in breach of the constitution, as it was designed to stifle parliamentary debate and action on Brexit.

The British government will appeal against the Scottish appeal court’s decision, which also contradicts a decision in Johnson’s favour by senior English judges last week, at the supreme court.

This really is a constitutional crisis and this ruling on one hand, is excellent, but further complicates an already messy situation. I think even if the Supreme Court rules the porogation illegal next week the Boris Administration will refuse to comply...

This is something really special

The Nazis arrested an estimated 100,000 homosexual men, 50,000 of whom were imprisoned. The majority of them ended up in concentration camps.

Walter was one of them. Urban Nation and @FacesAuschwitz joined forces and we painted his photo on the wall of a building in Berlin.



Wow. Just wow. If you click through there are more pictures and information..

And for today's news to put a smile on your face

Milo Yiannopoulos Says He's Broke
“I can’t put food on the table this way.”


The disgraced right-wing troll is complaining that the major social media companies have effectively cut off his alt-right audience — and crushed his ability to make a decent living.

Aw diddums... poor Milo has a sad on. I guess that is what happens when you are literally the devil, having sold your soul to make a few quid... the right wing knows no loyalty

His is a tale of redemption from being a far right pig to a moderate - the nasty in number 10 would have got to him sooner or later so he jumps before he is pushed.. convention would suggest that it is Labours turn in the seat.... but we all know that these fuckers give not one jot about democracy

ORDER! ORDER!
