Welp. One of the forums I frequent has announced it might have to shut down next year because it might not be able to comply with the Online Safety Act and keep the lights on.
*Through gritted teeth* Thank you, Parliament, very cool!!!!!!!!

It canât happen here
Feeling really quite glum over the news of far-right riots near here yesterday. I just keep coming back to the question⌠why Sunderland, of all places?
Not that it would be okay in any situation, but itâs not Leicester, where you have sectarian tensions flaring up. Itâs not Southport, where you just had a mass stabbing. Itâs not even somewhere with a properly substantial Muslim or immigrant population, like a Birmingham or a Boston. Itâs Sunderland. Why here, in what is, pardon my bluntness, the White British1 working-class capital of the UK?
I donât know. I guess i thought it couldnât happen here. That we were nicer up north. Or that the scenery was too nice for people to get angry. Or that we were too left-wing even though Reform beat the Tories in every constituency. Or maybe that we were too deprived, and that we didnât have anyone to scapegoat, because we knew itâd be shit no matter what.
Ach. History will trundle on as always, and in due time iâm sure the internet shit-stirrers and fundie imams will be joining hands and complaining about all those filthy undersea neo-post-BahĂĄâĂ immigrants from Atlantis taking our jobs. Maybe we can set up a football rivalry for everyone to redirect their hate into like they did in Glasgow. Who knows.
Hope whoever felled the Sycamore Gap tree enjoyed whatever kicks they got out of destroying a centuries old piece of local heritage. Sick cunt.
