Andrew Tate faces 'serious racist insults from white people' in the UK | The Express Tribune

This is the first time I'm getting serious racist insults for being brown from white people in the UK, says Tate.

Polarizing social media personality Andrew Tate has been subjected to numerous "racial insults" following his outspoken views on the recent UK riots.

The violence, reportedly incited by anti-immigrant and Islamophobic groups, has sparked heated debates, with Tate being particularly vocal due to his own background as an immigrant and Muslim.

This has led to a significant backlash against him, something he is familiar with, though he admits he is not used to receiving racist attacks from his home country.

"This is the first time in my life I'm getting serious racist insults for being brown from white people in the UK. Not a good look," Tate said.

It is beyond belief to me that this sentence exists in an article about Andrew fucking Tate:

Andrew Tate's views have ignited significant controversy, but he remains steadfast in his belief that open dialogue is essential to addressing the issues at hand.

Fuck this fucking guy.

This Andrew Tate?

Tate, a right-wing hyper-masculine conspiracy theorist, has sown mistrust in the police, telling his nine million followers that he is being wrongly investigated for sexual offences, while falsely claiming Asian suspects in the UK are allowed to freely offend.

In the days after the Southport attack, he shared an image of a brown-skinned man in a rubber dinghy with a knife and an armful of British pound notes, which garnered 11.3 million views and 41,000 “likes” and retweets.

The good side.

British police prepared for far-right agitators. They found peaceful anti-racism protesters instead

Far-right demonstrations anticipated by police in dozens of locations across Britain fail to materialise, as peaceful anti-racism protesters instead show up in force.

Far-right demonstrations that had been anticipated by police in dozens of locations across Britain failed to materialise, as peaceful anti-racism protesters instead showed up in force.

Police had prepared for another night of violence at 100 locations following a week of rioting and disorder fuelled by misinformation over a stabbing attack against young girls.

Many businesses had boarded up windows and closed down in fear of what lay ahead.

Anti-racist groups had planned counter-protests in response, but in most places they gathered on their streets with nothing to oppose.

In London, Bristol, Oxford, Liverpool and Birmingham, large, peaceful crowds gathered outside agencies and law firms specialising in immigration matters that had been listed by internet chat groups as possible targets of far-right activity.

In resounding choruses they chanted: "Whose streets? Our streets!"

Finchley against Zionists

Wednesday night saw the largest national mobilisation against the far right in years, following the violent, racist riots that have rocked the UK since the horrific murder of three children in Southport last week.

This seems to have upset a lot of US right-wing folks on TwitterX, but incitement to racial hatred has been illegal in the UK for the last 50 or 60 years. Its latest incarnation is Section 19 of the Public Order Act 1986.

A person who publishes or distributes written material which is threatening, abusive or insulting is guilty of an offence if—

(a)he intends thereby to stir up racial hatred, or

(b)having regard to all the circumstances racial hatred is likely to be stirred up thereby.

"Hatred," the courts have held, represents a high bar for the prosecution to meet. It means something far stronger than simple disapproval or dislike.

He gave other people advice on ‘staying anon’ and said he would ‘categorically not be arrested’ by Northants Police, before actually tagging the force in one of his tweets.

He used the hashtags #standwithlucyconnolly, #farageriots, #riotsuk and #f***northamptonshirepolice

People on his X account even warned him he would be jailed and he said ‘For what? Sharing a screenshot? You’re delusional buddy’.

This whole thing brings back memories of the 1992 Rostock-Lichtenhagen riots.

BBC has investigated who the people behind a fake news web site named Channel3Now are, which spread a false name for the 17 year old charged over the Southport attack and was widely quoted in viral posts on X.

The results are interesting: the site has no ties to Russia. Instead it is more like a company being run on lies to generate easy money.

QA is non existant, and more than 30 people in the US, UK, Pakistan and India work for the site, usually as freelancers.

One member of the management told: Kevin said the site is a commercial operation and “covering as many stories as possible” helps it generate income.

Sounds legit.

The BBC tracks down a Canadian hockey player, a dad in Pakistan and a Texan named Kevin linked to Channel3Now.

Project 2025: Tory Candidates Have Ties to Group Drafting ‘Dangerous’ Trump Agenda - DeSmog

Robert Jenrick, Priti Patel, and several other senior Conservative figures have close connections to a U.S. think tank that has authored a radical right-wing, anti-climate agenda for a future Donald Trump administration.

The Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 is considered so extreme that Trump has tried to distance himself from the manifesto, calling it “ridiculous and abysmal”.

However, a number of influential Tory figures have delivered high-profile speeches to the Heritage Foundation in recent years. A number of these speeches have taken place since the release of the Project 2025 agenda in April 2023.

For those curious about the phrase "Led by Donkeys", it takes its origins from WW I and was how the British army was described as "Lions, led by donkeys." There seem to be two or three conflicting origin stories. The current example is from a group of anti-Brexit activists who, well, a UK'er would probably give a better explanation but yes, the people who lead Brexit were donkeys in all possible metaphorical interpretations.

Government drops appeal over climate activist who held sign outside UK court | UK criminal justice | The Guardian

Warner said: “It’s wonderful that the right of juries to acquit according to their conscience is now unequivocally established as a legal principle in the UK. This will be more important than ever in our barely functioning democracy where people are unequal under the law.

“My case, and the response of the people in [the campaign group] Defend our Juries, has shown how effective collective action can be. This is a time for courage, which we must draw from one another. And we must hold together for the challenges ahead. We are many. They are few.”
