@HarriettMB I note he has email access so he can plot with his racist buddies around the World. Wonder if Just Stop Oil can do that....
![The High Court has dismissed an attempt by the far-right agitant Stephen
Yaxley-Lennon, better known as Tommy Robinson, to challenge his jail
conditions.
Yaxley-Lennon argued that his segregation at HMP Woodhill in Milton
Keynes, was destroying his mental health and breaching his human rights.
Dismissing the case, Mr Justice Chamberlain said Yaxley-Lennon’s own
barrister had accepted there was no evidence his client had been segregated
“for the purpose of breaking his resistance or humiliating or debasing him”.
44 On the contrary, all the evidence shows [the decision] was taken for his own
protection and in the interests of preserving the safety of other prisoners and
staff”
He himself had said, when first detained at HMP Belmarsh, that he had a
conflict with the followers of Islam.
It was thus understandable the governor should be concerned that Mr Yaxley-
Lennon’s presence might foment unrest or violence between Muslim and non-
Muslim prisoners.
The former leader of the English Defence League, known for organising racist
and violent protests, was handed an 18-month sentence in October after
admitting he breached a court order which had told him not to repeat lies
about a Syrian refugee.
Yaxley-Lennon has a long history of criminality and has been found guilty of
offences including multiple assaults, mortgage fraud, faking a passport,
stalking, contempt of court and various public order offences.](https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/114/201/400/099/533/920/original/c9701ef1428fd09f.png "The High Court has dismissed an attempt by the far-right agitant Stephen

@yogthos The Signal Technology Foundation is a United States 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and the US government is turning fascist. The #UK and the #EU countries should seriously reconsider attempting to compel the best channel for domestic #CivilResistance to organize to bring the #USA back into geopolitical alignment with NATO. They should seriously reconsider exposing all the most vulnerable secrets of every EU and UK citizen, and everyone else who relies on Signal (including the #AFU) to Trump and Musk, and through them, to Xi and Putin.
As soon as the infrastructure is in place to defeat #E2EE with key escrow, the private lives and communications of European and British and Canadian and Mexican and Ukrainian and other democratic peoples the world over become immediately exposed to the fascist mafia state oligarchs of the US, Russia, and China.
That immediately endangers Ukrainian armed forces. It also exposes Canadian federal police communications with UCs and CIs (and I assume similar comms in Europe), sexting between spouses, and countless conversations everywhere with doctors, therapists, and lawyers. That benefits the psychopathic oligarchs in the current US regime and their Russian and Chinese handlers, and does irrevocable harm to national security throughout the democratic world. The benefit to French law enforcement is not worth the harm to French and allied everything else.
Vive la vie privée. Vive la France.
Kinda wish the UK's Travel Advisory on the US was a bit more than "if you break any laws, of which there are many, it's probably your own fault for not doing as you are told"
Reminder Becky Burke (who is safely back in the UK now) was disappeared for the crime of "doing the dishes at a house she was staying at"
@gamingonlinux I've still not heard back from my MP Steve Reed, about the letter I sent to him about this.
Shower of bastards.
UK Politics, Disability, PIP
Thought this newest take from Michael Spicer about the British government's terrible disability proposals was pretty good: https://youtube.com/watch?v=iJB2S-Di9kg
UKpol: cuts in disabilty benefits
Keir Starmer cutting key benefits to the disabled is shameful, as is most of what he does.
Frances Ryan in the Guardian as ever spot on.
"[These cuts] come with a tinge, not just of fear, but despair and betrayal. There is a feeling that, if this is life under the “good guys”, there really is no hope that anything will get better. Politicians, it turns out, really are all the same. That is the sort of loss that can’t be measured by a Treasury spreadsheet. It is also something that – once lost – is deeply hard to get back."
#Keir Starmer #Labour #UKpol #disability #ableism #FrancesRyan
Immoral Starmer bends the knee to the Rapist Trump and chooses the suffering of the Poor over taxation of the rich.
Nobody believes you.

UK - Under-22s to be excluded from #incapacity benefits
by Mitchell Labiak, March 18, 2025
Excerpt:
'Trapped out of work'
"The reforms come as part of a wider push by Labour to cut spending by reducing the number of people on incapacity benefits, which is forecast to reach a record high by the end of the decade.
"Experts say the increase is due to a combination of worse #MentalHealth since the #pandemic and a higher retirement age meaning some are instead claiming incapacity benefits.
"#Starmer said he is 'not prepared to stand back and do nothing while millions of people – especially young people – who have potential to work and live independent lives, instead become trapped out of work and abandoned by the system'.
"However, #DisabilityRightsUK said that barring under-22s from claiming the health element of universal credit alongside the proposal to increase assessments 'mark dangerous cuts for all #disabled people'.
"The charity added that the package of reforms was 'not about supporting disabled people into work, but making brutal and reckless cuts'."

UK politics, social security / benefit payments, mh--, semi-suicide threat, but also stubborn enough to live just to spite the wannabe-tories

I'm so close to the fucking edge this year.
I got a 1 kg bag of tapioca pearls for boba tea to make cheaper at home so I can still have a treat. Saw the price tag and was like "hmmm. *Do* I want / deserve an easy sweet treat I can add nutrient powder to as needed and sip for hydration?"
I got it in the end, but everyone deserves nice things. Yes, even the people you hate. Even the asshole down the street. Maybe if they got nice things and felt nicer, they might be kinder to people around them, idfk.
@ScottishGreens Rayner looks like the picture of regret and resignation to failure.
"Hello Darkness my old friend..."
“The Musk approach is not something that government should want to go anywhere near associating with itself and I think whoever has been going around briefing about ‘'project chainsaw’ should be retired from the comms efforts.”
Footage release by Gazan's on the ground showed dead childred, many toddlers and infants, lying motionless on the ground and at medical stations.
Palestinians say they several entire families were killed in these strikes which went on for hours.
"Work Shall Set You Free"
Like Gilead's 'Operation Chainsaw' and like the Dems 'pivoting to the right'
Every mistake made in Gilead, Starmer's Labour will also try to make
Pathetic and election losing, but they don't care. They just want to see people suffer, to make them feel good. Like tories....
I lay in bed last night and suddenly this thought popped into my head:
Imagine being a politician who goes after THE PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY DISABLED'S money before it goes after the money of BILLIONAIRES.
Take a billion from a multi-billionaire and they have effectively lost nothing. They won't notice it. But take £10 from a disabled person and they certainly will miss it.
The physically and mentally disabled have it hard enough as it is. WHY PICK ON THEM?
It IS Gaslighting and it IS Abuse.
All the usual suspects are suddenly experts in Mental Health, none of them are reflecting the reality, but it's easier to blame the Disabled that Tax The Rich, isn't it?
Sharing this also for "Tony Blair, whose transformation into know-nothing golf-club pontificator is still startling after all this time "
