Falling birth rates in the so-called "West" is a serious issue for which managed immigration is part of the solution. A bigger threat is the international network of the oligarchy who have no moral anchor and no allegiance to anything other than their personal wealth.

This is exactly the sort of information about Reform that should be out there and picked up by the national media. A catalogue of ineptitude, incompetence and criminality.

Guns make it easy for flawed human beings to kill other human beings. But guns aren't taken to court and flawed human beings are because they are responsible. Of course it makes sense for access to guns to be strictly limited. But it is the shooter who chooses to kill, not the gun.

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.

For a "leader" who wouldn't recognise a plan if it came and hit her in the face, Badenoch has an awful lot to say about other people's plans.

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

An excellent article. The truth is that the UK always has been, is, and will continue to be competing for immigrants to fill the gaps in our workforce. Better to admit this and manage the situation transparently rather than bury our heads in the sand.

Farage’s immigration ‘plan’ amounts to nothing more than threats (or promises, if you’re racist) to be as inhumane, unlawful, moronic and prejudiced as possible about asylum seekers. It’s the most unworkable, unthinkable, ruinous, Trump-branded horseshit. Brexit failure and toxic racism on steroids.

Progressive voters who now don't want to vote Labour because of its position on immigration should look across the Atlantic to the US and see what's happening there as a result of Democrat voters staying at home because they disagreed with the Biden administration's position on Israel / Gaza.

Obviously, a Russian attack on a US company deep into Ukraine's rear was deliberate and a clear signal of Russia's true attitude towards US and European peacemaking efforts. Previously, Russia has launched deliberate attacks on Polish and Azerbaijani companies. Conclusions must be drawn.

I think we can now all safely conclude that Netanyahu and Putin have no interest whatsoever in peace-making - and that Strumpf is way out of his depth, making things worse with every blunder he makes.

The fact that Trump insists that Putin agreed that the 2020 election was rigged, that Trump won it “by so much” and the war in Ukraine wouldn’t have happened if he’d been President… tells you all you need to know about Trump’s feeble mind, his grotesquely needy ego and how easy it is to outplay him.

You can't teach U.S. history without "divisive" narratives. Slavery wasn't "unifying." The Japanese incarceration wasn't "unifying." The anti-immigrant Operation Wetback (real name) wasn't "unifying." It's history's job to tell the truth, not cover up past racism to pave the way for future racism.
