Which #SadiqKhan won the #election for #LondonMayor, beating #Tory candidate #SusanHall, after a very fractious campaign, the quote of the day belongs to one of the minor candidates standing, #CountBinface (as far as I can tell, no relation to a former parliamentary candidate, #LordBuckethead), who still beat the #BritainFirst candidate, #NickScanlon and said,
"It looks like I have defeated Britain First in an election.

Tory staff running network of anti-Ulez Facebook groups riddled with racism and abuse

First published on Sat 27 Apr 2024 19.30 CESTConservative party staff and activists are secretly operating a network of Facebook groups that have become a hotbed of racism, misinformation and support for criminal damage.
An investigation has identified 36 groups that appear to be separate grassroots movements opposing the expansion of ultra-low emission zone (Ulez) schemes to reduce air pollution. They do not say they were set up by the Conservatives as part of a coordinated political campaign.
The closed groups – which have a combined membership of 38,000 – have been a forum for Islamophobic attacks on Labour’s London mayor Sadiq Khan, with members calling him a “terrorist sympathiser” and a “khaki punt” and saying they would pay to get him “popped”. Other posts promote white supremacist slogans, antisemitic conspiracy theories and have encouraged the destruction of Ulez enforcement cameras.

#Joy-Warren returns to update us on the consultation to add #Fluoride in to the #water in the north east of #England, and potentially other .
Both Humza Yousaf & Rishi Sunak seem more selected than elected.
#thisisnotwhatdemocracylookslike = #selectednotelected.
Both seem removed from popular opinion, even deranged from reality.

(ps...)
(And why does #england not have its own devolved assembly like scotland and #wales?)
(And as i ask that pointed question, I realise I dont know who's the leader of the welsh assembly, so look it up, and, Humphrey Vaughan ap David Gething, new fella, just last month. So was he actually more genuinely elected, and not selected by the inner party? "Gething won the Welsh Labour leadership election to replace Mark Drakeford and become First Minister of Wales, making him the first black leader of any European country." ... because it does look a bit funny, like triple try-hard tokenisation. I hope that's not the racist criteria. Though worse, is their undemocratic selling us out, to their corrupt masters, club, clique, class, etc.
It would be nice to have democracy.)
(I am increasingly appreciative of the perspective that political parties are not a good thing.)
