DONATE TO THE RNLI TODAY. THEY'RE HEROES.
🚨 Posts on @X & Telegram have circulated names, photos, and at least one address of @RNLI crew from a recent Portsmouth rescue, leading to reports of intimidation and family distress.
Defective, radicalised, far-right men openly refer to these brave RNLI heroes as "traitors".
The X account below is run by Ryan Ferguson, a far-right shit-stirring "content creator" from the Liverpool area.
He uses TikTok and YouTube to spread his divisive hate, describes himself as a nationalist, and posts frequently about immigration, asylum hotels, and related protests.
Local reporting describes him as a former football hooligan with convictions including racially aggravated offences and wasting police time; he later became a visible figure at anti-migrant demonstrations in the North West.
These broken far-right men are already ruining lives: without urgent action, they are going to get someone killed.
It makes me fucking sick to see people like Zia Yusuf nodding along to what the organisers of these unlawful masked protests have got to say, while Rupert Lowe sings their praises.
What a fucking country we've become where senior political figures can normalise racism, use dangerously irresponsible dehumanising bigoted rhetoric almost daily, and praise intimidating masked vigilantes wearing militaristic uniforms reminiscent of Oswald Mosley's fascist blackshirts.
Did they learn nothing from history? Or are they themselves just bigoted, radicalised extremists who have far more in common with the actual Nazis than any of us want to believe?
Maybe Rupert Lowe, Zia Yusuf, Danny Tammo, Tommy Robinson and all the British far-right masked men blocking roads genuinely don’t know that in WWII, many British people and foreign-born allies died fighting against a regime which:
- embraced the ideology of ethnic nationalism
- treated migration as an existential threat
- pushed a story of national decline caused by 'outsiders' and a disloyal indigenous 'elite'
- claimed their own culture was superior to others
- treated ideological opponents as "traitors"
- scapegoated a visible out-group
- deployed street mobilisation to intimidate fellow citizens and force the state’s hand
- had a stated preference for authoritarian order and expulsion over liberal democracy and individual rights
- embraced conspiracy thinking around race 'replacement' and who is 'really' opening the borders.
Sound familiar?

Farage and Reform UK are in deep trouble. However, after 3 days, @Verbatim_Media's 37 minute video of their extraordinary year-long undercover investigation into Reform UK's illegal foreign donations has only got 161k views. It should have several million.
So please repost this and then share the video.

It’s deeply disturbing that this story has had so little attention since yesterday morning. Far right people dressed in what appears to be a paramilitary uniform shut our busiest port - totally shocking.
@ShabanaMahmood
must make a statement to the House of Commons tomorrow.
Hundreds of demonstrators dressed in black and wearing balaclavas blocked the streets around Dover earlier today, shouting 'stop the boats' in what the Port of Dover described as a 'public order incident'.
The protest seemed to take the police by surprise and intimidated residents.
The demonstrators were eventually escorted to the railway station. It appears an anti-immigration group with links to the far right have claimed responsibility for the demonstration.

Count the number of assaults going on here, NOT carried out by the security staff..
They think it’s a fucking free for all to grab people’s hair and get digs in!

So, basically… those “independent” polls that helped create the headlines about Reform surging? Reform had commissioned them and undercover reporters secretly funded them through a US company.
Telegraph ran with them. Lol
And Farage apparently thought the polling was “amazing” because, in his words, “it worked.”
.... tell us again how everyone else is the establishment?!?!
Nigel Farage and other senior members of Reform UK have been filmed by undercover reporters celebrating secret new foreign donations.
Channel 4 News and @Verbatim_Media, a group of investigative journalists, can today reveal a plot to break the law on party funding at the highest levels of Reform UK.
You can watch the full investigation here: youtu.be/aXut3s90rUI
Channel 4 News approached Reform UK, Mr Farage, Mr Jukes and Mr Orr for comment on the findings of this investigation. They did not comment but we understand they deny the allegations in full.
