Fantastisch klar auf den Punkt gebracht.
Das Statement zu den #UKriots von der Triphop-Band Massive Attack (1990er Fame, die mit der Titelmusik von Dr House) gestern. ♥️

"This violent racism has long been simmering under the surface. What is happening is the direct result of years of normalised racism and Islamophobia, enabled by politicians and the British media. As far-right mobs threaten mosques, intimidate and harass people, and throw Nazi salutes, we offer our utmost solidarity to people of colour, and Muslim communities in particular. We demand political leadership that recognises that challenging the far right is not simply a question of tackling online misinformation, or increased police surveillance. Instead, we urgently need our leaders to challenge the conditions that embolden the far right. These scenes should be unimaginable in 2024."

Obviously due to the distributed nature of the Fediverse it's never going to be possible to tell how many UK users have joined Mastodon/Firefish/Fedi in the last week or so.

But I'd be curious to know if anecdotally anyone thinks there have been an uptick in new UK accounts here.
