😩 JESUS CHRIST!!! Cops give a brutal beating on the bridge between Ohio and Kentucky to young people who were protesting against Trump's policies and against the Genocide in Gaza.
Spread this far & wide!!!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The footage shows a July 2025 confrontation between Covington police and anti-ICE protesters blocking the Roebling Bridge, not a recent protest against Trump's policies or Gaza. wvxu.org/local-news/202… fox19.com/2025/07/18/vid…

"The government have actively avoided looking for evidence Russia interfered."
The Intelligence & Security Committee's Stewart Hosie said the government didn't investigate alleged Russian interference in the Brexit vote, and no one wanted to touch this "with a ten-foot pole".
The fact is that Russian interference is staring us in plain sight. Russian TV hugely boosted Farage's public standing by giving him dozens of appearances, and without Farage, Brexit would not have happened. Brexit was the result of a successful Russian influence operation.
Please repost if you want Starmer to set up an inquiry into Russian interference in the Brexit referendum.

We’re trying to get as many followers as Rishi Sunak so we can show the government just how many people are prepared to fight for the NHS and its staff.
Please can you help us today by following us and retweeting this?

25 years ago, the Labour Party celebrated a landmark victory.
When the Labour Party is in power, we deliver for Britain.

In the midst of all this shit, and the knowledge that elitist liars like The Dangerous Clown are being aided by most of the MSM, remember that there are millions of good people in these islands, that there is friendship, music and song and in the end the Darkness will not win.

Seriously how the hell can Johnson be so far ahead in polls? He can’t interact with ordinary people, showed zero empathy for flood victims, has given public money away to enable his dodgy affairs as in Arcuri scandal, and worse still has links to Putin #ReleaseTheRussiaReport

If Russia did influence the Brexit referendum, all European countries who face similar attacks need to know about it.
The Kremlin's aim is the divide the West, our communities & undermine our democracies.

This sums it up - in fact I think it puts the tin hat on it, & is a reminder that the UK's attitude towards the Irish has been out of kilter since whenever. ROI, a republic that threw off a colonial yoke - UK ? A monarchy wanting to make itself even more insular/less democratic
