Jolyon Maugham’s serially incompetent Good Law Project is using the North Belfast attack and subsequent protests to ask for donations to “stop Farage.” Grifters gonna grift…
An email sent after lunch to everyone captured by GLP’s data collection says: “The far right are following the playbook they used in Southampton and Southport: take an isolated tragedy, talk about it in the language of race, divide us against each other and push their hate.”
“According to the ONS, there were more than 20,000 knife assaults in the UK in 2024/2025. It’s no accident that the far right have chosen this one…
