Oh, Andy Borowitz. What a gem you are.
Spot on, by @nesrinemalik.bsky.social Brexit was meant, by many of its proponents, to โsolveโ immigrationโฆ but of course it didnโt. And for many, immigration will never not be an issue to stir & sell as a delusional panacea.

The Tories made the decision to start calling asylum seekers illegal immigrants. How many legal routes are there? The answer 0. All the mechanisms for ppl to seek asylum in the UK from other countries were closed down by the Tories. Only 5%of immigrants arrive by small boats. They're not the problem
Douglas Carswell has skirted the line and now he's crossed it. This is disgusting racism from a former MP who now demonstrates who and what he is.

Nigel Farage says he hates Europe but all his children, which have European mothers, have EU passports not British ones. He is a disgraceful fraud everything he says is a lie.

@sangitamyska.bsky.social Since you're unscheduled departure from LBC, I've hardly listened to it. I was especially appalled by @mrjamesob.bsky.social's mealy mouthed excuses for your leaving. LBC has become too right wing and is hiding the truth from the public through misreporting of Gaza

When people say that they want to abolish the ECHR what they really mean is abolish these rights for *other* people. Just those people they believe *deserve* to lose them. Not themselves, obviously.

"Oddly the BBC never mentions this. It would be a shock to people in England to see how poorly treated we are down here." via Expats for Scotland Independence
Something stinks!
The fact that Reform were trying to run a person who had been dead for six months as their Croydon Mayoral candidate is proof if it were needed that they are not a serious party. It demonstrates abject incompetence and no vetting as well as utter contempt for the electorate.

The Westminster system made people poorer with austerity and Brexit - and now itโs trying to distract from those failures by scapegoating people who have been through unimaginable hardship. It is pathetic, it is cowardly and I will have no part in it. #RefugeesWelcome
Labour in Scotland, eh? www.thenational.scot/news/2542510...
This is just next level insanity. In January this year, Reform picked Sharon Carby, aged 70, from Bradford, to run as their Croydon Mayoral candidate. There was just one rather significant problem. She had sadly died in July 2024. insidecroydon.com/2025/08/27/f...

I just donโt think itโs unreasonable to say the public should be worried when a former senior Labour MP, who famously helped General Augusto Pinochet evade facing trial for crimes against humanity including torture, argues that Britain should โdecoupleโ from the European Convention on Human Rights.

It's only fair that John Swinney gets to be on Question Time, 76 times. The SNP has twice the number of MPs Reform UK has. Britain hasn't learned after the: 'painting on shop windows bollocks' of 100 years ago.

Is the BBC Reform UK's mouthpiece? Yup. "Researchers at Cardiff University have produced a detailed analysis of every episode of the BBCโs flagship Question Time programme broadcast between September 2014 and July 2023 to see if the broadcaster was balancing political viewpoints."
What the hell?
Via SNP: "The SNP has hailed the benefits of public ownership of essential services...Earlier this year, Scotrail was ranked the best large rail network operator in the UK by passengers. A survey showed customer satisfaction levels have risen from 67% to 91% since coming into public ownership" (1/2)

Here's how the real two-tier Britain works: 1. Whatever Nigel Farage says, however stupid, is looped and discussed by the media, while left-wing voices are treated as noises off. 2. Tiny far-right protests get massive airtime, while 10s of 000s gathering for Palestine or green causes are ignored.๐งต
