The billionaires and their media are using hate and fear to divide communities and win power. We believe there’s more that unites than divides us and we’re having the conversations that prove it. www.commongroundorg.co.uk

@commongroundorguk.bsky.socialToday's board in Exmouth. Some good conversations but also some instances of shocking racism and bigotry... so very sad to hear and all the result of toxic propaganda. We need to mobilise people to turn out to vote to keep fascism out of power.
@commongroundorguk.bsky.socialGreat to see new teams out in Loughborough and Basingstoke! Lots of good conversations....so very needed given the crises we face. @labouruk.bsky.social @libdems.org.uk @greenparty.org.uk

@davidosland.bsky.socialReposted by @commongroundorguk.bsky.socialAnyone know why a newspaper owned by the Fourth Lord Rothermere, who inherited a fortune from the Third Lord Rothermere, who inherited his money from the Second Lord Rothermere, who inherited it from the First Lord Rothermere, is so strongly opposed to inheritance tax?

@bestforbritain.orgReposted by @commongroundorguk.bsky.social👏 David Smith MP: "Two individual billionaires giving a total of £72 million to one political party, and hundreds of thousands of individuals, teachers, nurses, care workers, as we were just discussing, giving small amounts of money to something that they believe in."

@claramay.bsky.socialReposted by @commongroundorguk.bsky.socialReally interesting listening to Anthea Simmons — campaigner, citizen journalist, co-founder of the South Devon Primary, founder of Common Ground, and editor-in-chief of West Country Voices. The skills of staying calm and diffusing arguments are skills we are all going to need, and need to teach
@commongroundorguk.bsky.socialKingsbridge today
Busy positive day - getting a bit of daylight in through the darkness of disinformation.

@commongroundorguk.bsky.socialAnother new location: Crediton Sad to say most people have had a taste of the poison spread by the far right but, so far, they have (in the main) spat it out, thankfully. We aren't fans of hate. Choose love...or kindness at the very least! Empathy is NOT a weakness!
@commongroundorguk.bsky.social"Join a practical, collaborative course to understand the disinformation crisis, tackle division and build democracy."
@commongroundorguk.bsky.socialClacton today. Farage will win, sadly,but there are plenty of people in the town who take a different view. Great conversations with people from both sides, hands shaken, thanks given. Positive overall and plenty of interest in replicating what we’re doing. Street convos are the way forward.
