To avoid comparisons to the German far right, I recommend spending less time promoting the AfD on here. Also cancel any more dinner plans you have with groups who want to repatriate black Britons. I will never relent from fighting the extremism you both represent and legitismise.

The @ukhomeoffice continues to fail the Windrush generation. 10 months since the government first apologised, there's still no compensation scheme.

This is further insult to all those detained, deported and treated like criminals by their own government.
theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/m…
The report found systemic failure in the @ukhomeoffice to keep accurate records, leaving many struggling to prove their British citizenship. Numerous examples of the department doing "as little, rather than as much, as possible to find and help people affected by its actions”.
Further damning evidence in the report shows the Home Office is failing its duty of care to identify and support those affected. Officials have been “woefully complacent” in promoting the Windrush scheme.

Tanesha Melbourne Blake, 17, was shot and killed in my constituency last Easter Monday. After this, Theresa May should have taken personal charge of this violent crime epidemic, convened COBRA and personally driven strategy across the country.
theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/m…
How many more young lives have to be taken before the PM takes this surge in violent crime seriously? How many teenagers need to be stabbed? How many have to be shot?
The main causes of violent crime have been the same for at least 200 years. Social deprivation, exclusion and poverty push people into gangs and crime. London's housing crisis (prices have quadrupled in 20 years) and vast inequality are driving this surge.

It's simply not true to say I did not respond: we had two meetings in my office. I had hoped - and still hope - your coverage would improve but Stacey's post was more of the same tried tropes. As I told you before, I'm not prepared to become part of a PR exercise.
It’s not about me making a nice film, but about you giving some of your very privileged platform on the BBC to the hundreds of African comedians, filmmakers, celebrities and everyday people who live on the continent.
My job as a politician is to raise the issue. The people of Africa do not need a British politician to make a film. I want African people to speak for themselves, not UK celebs acting as tour guides.

1) Bernd Lucke, Mitgründer der #AfD, behauptet penetrant, die AfD sei in ihrer Gründungszeit grundlos als "rechtspopulistisch" bezeichnet worden, darum sei die AfD dann rechtspopulistisch geworden. ... cicero.de/innenpolitik/a…
2) Es ist schade, dass er sich seiner Verantwortung nicht stellt und sich eingesteht, dass die AfD von Anfang an ein "rechtspopulistisches" Projekt gewesen ist. ...
3) Zunächst wollte Lucke ja die Freien Wähler für seine Ambitionen nutzen, dort zeichnete sich diese Rechtstendenz bereits 2011 ab: andreaskemper.org/2011/12/19/fre…

@DavidLammy You’re a lost soul. Even when I was a Labour member all those years ago, I never liked you and never will. You’re everything that you complain about: racist and divisive. All you do is just the normal SJW racist virtue-signalling...you know, the whole....
....”aLL rICH wHiTe mEnNN aRe eVIL” bullshit. You have a history of saying despicable, anti white statements and your excuse is “I’m an ethnic minority”. SO WHAT??!! I’m sorry but 👏🏿THAT’S 👏🏿NOT 👏🏿 GOOD 👏🏿ENOUGH!!! Pigmentation is NEVER an excuse for the despicable things you say
I don’t even care that you’re a Remainer and an advocate for a People’s Vote. Each to their own. We both vehemently disagree on those two issues but the way you have treated Brexiteers has been absolutely fucking disgusting, and you try and paint it as “calling out the far right”

1/ Even if a potential review of the application for asylum of Kevork Almassian leads to no results, it is necessary to debate about his role as a pawn in a greater strategy of far-right populists in #Germany. While there are many sympathizers and supporters of Assad on the left
2/ or right side of the European party spectrum, in Germany the support for Assad comes from the far right, namely the #AfD. The party recently sent a "diplomatic delegation" to the regime to get first hand informations about the situation in #Syria spiegel.de/politik/deutsc…
3/ Almassian is not only an employee for the MdB Markus Frohnmaier, he is currently announcend as an analyst in the german far-right media. It is definitly worth to take a look on his assessment on Syria & the threat of refugees for Europe, while representing himself as a refugee

PART III: Ralph Reed - The Missing Link:

Ralph Reed is the centerpiece of the evangelical "big data" operation that propelled Trump to the White House.

His Faith & Freedom Coalition (FFC) may've also committed serious IRS & FEC violations.

Understand why in this thread. /1
This is a deeper dive into the "heart" of the data operation described in Part I.

Part I focused on Americans behind an operation of 20,000 pastors who gave their databases of 15 million to a "big data firm" to aid Trump in '16. /2
This comprehensive thread will touch on 5 main points:

1. Reed's FFC not transparent on their Form 990 who they paid for $1M digital ad campaign in 2016 (IRS violation?).

2. What happened to the $1.5M FFC sent to Reed's related org Freedom and Values Alliance (FVA) in 2016? /3

This article (link to follow) is a very good and accurate account of how multifaceted, relentless activism can push back hate.

Also, shoutout to Cville.

I’m probably one of the few people to attend both Charlottesville and the 240k person Unteilbar march referenced in the article. Hm.

😳🙄 Right down the middle of the Extreme Anarcho-capitalist Far Right and the slightly less vicious, profiteering Globalist Far Right
Below are extracts from Nicky Hager’s book, “Dirty Politics”

Matthew Hooten, along w Cameron Slater gave Cathy Odger’s Hager’s address, in response to a threatening (“Chop chop for Nicky”) email from Odgers.

That Odgers was emailing Hooten suggests he was part of the “in” crowd
Here is an entertaining article from 2017 in which Hayden Donnell looks into what cast of Nicky Hager’s book had gotten up to since

thespinoff.co.nz/politics/10-08…

Yes, Hooten’s in there, but bar his appalling willingness to have Nicky Hager harmed, he wasn’t a “star” character in book
