I monitor the Mail to see what the right are up to. By its very nature only a small proportion of crime gets reported in the national press i.e. it's cherrypicked. The Mail focuses on crimes committed by Asians, Muslims, asylum seekers, to give the false impression, that they commit most crimes.

So to distract from the reality, that people are suffering because of the very rich, who sponsor mainstream politics, politicians scapegoat minorities as a distraction. Then feign surprise when conmen politicians like Farage, take advantage of this, to blame everything onto minorities.

What I'm saying is very simple. Yes, far right agitators are responsible for whipping up the current racist riots. But they couldn't do this if mainstream politicians and the mainstream media, hadn't been pandering to scapegoating minorities for decades, to distract from what the real issue is.

Ordinary people are confused by what is happening. Their standards of living are no longer improving, public services are being cut back, because they are told there's no money. But the wealth of the very rich, is exploding, and mainstream politicians refuse to contemplate wealth taxes.

At least it wasn't raining and was sunny on Whixall Moss NNR, but it was stupid windy again, so very difficult for dragonflies and butterflies, except for a few semi-sheltered bits. I got my first Emerald Damselfly (Lestes sponsa) and my first Meadow Browns of the year.
In reality, there is nothing at all radical about why I say total system change is necessary. It is those destroying our natural life support systems who are the extreme and dangerous radicals. I just want a liveable future for humanity. What is radical about that?
Yet the perpetrators of genocide and grave war crimes go free, and these sentences are meant to silence all those trying to hold them to account. Gross injustice.

Farage et al, are simply opportunists, conmen, taking advantage of distraction methods, scapegoating, by neoliberal politicians for decades. Labour has been playing the get tough on immigration card for decades. Although the Tory Press, are the worst, by cherry-picking the crimes they report.

The current race riots happening in Northern Ireland and the mainland, are not just the result of inflammatory comments, by Farage, Lowe et al.
Mainstream politicians like Keir Starmer, have been pandering to this anti-immigrant rhetoric for decades.
