The Daily Blog Open Mic – 6th July 2025
Announce protest actions, general chit chat or give your opinion on issues we haven’t covered for the day.
The Editor doesn’t moderate this blog, 3 volunteers do, they are very lenient to provide you a free speech space but if it’s just deranged abuse or putting words in bloggers mouths to have a pointless argument, we don’t bother publishing.
All in all, TDB gives punters a very, very, very wide space to comment in but we won’t bother with out right lies or gleeful malice. We leave that to the Herald comment section.
EDITORS NOTE: – By the way, here’s a list of shit that will get your comment dumped. Sexist abuse, homophobic abuse, racist abuse, anti-muslim abuse, transphobic abuse, Chemtrails, 9/11 truthers, Qanon lunacy, climate deniers, anti-fluoride fanatics, anti-vaxxer lunatics, 5G conspiracy theories, the virus is a bioweapon, some weird Bullshit about the UN taking over the world and ANYONE that links to fucking infowar.

Is Support Palestine Action.
The UK government has just voted to make the UK protest group ‘Palestine Action’ a ‘proscribed terrorist organisation’.
Under this precedent setting proscription, a direct action protest group like New Zealand’s HART, that invaded football fields would be a terrorist organisation.
Under this proscription, anyone who joins, or supports, or even just expresses support for ‘Palestine Action’ can be jailed for 14 years.
George Mobiot says this is our sparticist moment. Monbiot calls on everyone to say”I support Palestine Action”, and dare the authorities to arrest them.

Real certified women, or in-between people ‘bent’ on evening up the gender crime stats?
