Just because you’re loud doesn’t mean you’re popular. The thugs on Britain’s streets last night tried to shriek and bully us into thinking they had a majority on their side, when the only thing they had on their side was bricks. The rest was noise. They’re a tiny fraction of a country that’s much bigger and more generous than they’ll ever be.

Nigel farage wants you to think that Britain has an immigration problem. It doesn't. Britain had a problem with millionaires hoarding wealth, egged on by politicians and the press. Britain has a problem with racism. Britain has a @Nigel_Farage problem. RT if you agree.

The Algerian Olympics team threw flowers in the Seine, at the point where in 1961 around 200 Algerians were drowned by French police crushing a protest against an anti-Muslim curfew.
La délégation algérienne jette des fleurs lors de la cérémonie d'ouverture des JO dans la Seine, et plus précisément au pont où nos valeureux chouada ont été noyés en 1961. Gloire à nos martyrs. Vive l'Algérie 🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿 #ceremoniedouverture

Fascinating explanation here (in French) of that Olympic flame under the balloon. It’s in fact electric, with carefully-lit water mist which isn’t hot. So it’s not burning fossil fuel but green electricity. A very effective piece of innovation by EDF.
Une flamme électrique, sans combustible, pour la vasque de Paris 2024 : c'est l'innovation que le monde a découvert lors de la cérémonie d'ouverture des Jeux Olympiques de Paris 2024. On est allé chez EDF pour découvrir comment une équipe de designers a réalisé cette prouesse, accompagnés d’Alain Bernard, l'un des derniers athlètes à s'être avancé vers la vasque, double champion olympique et ambassadeur du Team EDF. Avec @EDFofficiel #LeMomentDeBriller

If you ever want to vote again, if you want to live in a country where one day your children and grandchildren can vote, you need to vote for Harris this November.
Trump: “Get out and vote just this time. You won't have to do it anymore. Four more years it will be fixed. It'll be fine. You won't have to vote anymore...In four years you don't have to vote again. We'll have it fixed so good your not gonna have to vote.”

Chris Sharpe, a firefighter, captured these videos of elk from a high-fenced ranch frantically running for safety. It's not just humans that suffer because of the crises fossil fuels companies have created. No time to wait. #ActOnClimate

We used to say Brexit was like watching your local library being burned down by people who can’t read and now it has actually happened.

I seem to have upset the @Nigel_Farage fan club - so let me be clear. This man sows hate, lies and division. He is a grifter and a conman. He does not represent the vast majority of Britons. RT if you agree P.s. multiculturalism is great.

St Andrew's University has fired Stella Maris as their Rector after she condemned the genocidal attacks by Israel on Gaza. Lets show our support for her, no-one should be punished for speaking the truth.

So, this absolute weapon suspected a local Travelodge was housing illegal immigrants and he let rip about it in a Tweet, but it turned out it was NHS nurses and their families on holiday. Reform UK, what a Party, eh?

BREAKING: In a shocking leak, Donald Trump says to the leaders of Project 2025 that his most exciting work with them lies ahead. Donald Trump is openly admitting he will implement Project 2025. Retweet so all Americans see this.

Could any picture sum up our new men’s rights movement better? The smirk of a male who’s knows he’s protected by a misogynist sporting establishment enjoying the distress of a woman he’s just punched in the head, and whose life’s ambition he’s just shattered. #Paris2024
