@sajeraj.bsky.socialThis could be an urban myth, but wasn’t this changed before in the 90s because there was concern that people might think the cow was laughing because it had BSE?
@bronmaher.bsky.socialReposted by @sajeraj.bsky.socialIt's easy, perhaps, to imagine that the days of open street homophobia in the UK are a thing of the past. And sure, things aren't as bad as they were even two decades ago, of course. But, as I find in a new piece for @thefence.bsky.social, abject anti-gay hate remains a familiar occurrence.
@natashawalter.bsky.socialReposted by @sajeraj.bsky.socialI spoke to Rachel Marsh, the Piddington resident who courageously spoke out against the far right, and has received doxxing and abuse as a result.

@yeomans.bsky.socialReposted by @sajeraj.bsky.socialWorrying scenes in the Channel today, for all interested in asylum policy and maritime tactics. A small boat from Normandy spent more than 30 hours at sea. Those on board now on their 2nd rescue vessel as Border Force forced to play cat and mouse with far-right activists who have their own boat.
@sajeraj.bsky.socialDoes anyone know why S4 of Babylon Berlin is no longer available on Now TV?! I need to rewatch before S5 is released in the uk.

@adambienkov.bsky.socialReposted by @sajeraj.bsky.socialA reminder that Delo previously pled guilty in the US to violating money laundering protections and agreed to pay a $10 million fine for "willfully” breaking the law with his BitMex platform, which was described as "in effect a money laundering platform.” This is who owns Farage now
@peterwalker99.bsky.socialReposted by @sajeraj.bsky.socialIf you have a big story about Reform and approach them for comment it seems they go quiet and then quickly give the news to a friendly outlet (ie the Telegraph). Lesson seems to be: don’t approach Reform.
