Yes. But you Americans are all sitting around like bloody zombies. No strikes. Compliant business people. Quiet politicians (most). Scared media that rolls over, too timid to ask the big questions. I watch from abroad, aghast.

You don’t see this👇🏼news pushed by the BBC on its main news page like they “report” when Farage opens his mouth or a migrant lands etc.. #RightWingScum put a Union Jack on a Mosque to intimidate them.. So its leaders put it in a window saying 'This is our flag... we are proud British Muslims”👏🏼👏🏼👌🏼

You can smell the hatred. I don't believe these numbers. The characterisation of 'illegals' as criminals too stinks ... with these terrible shots of people being send to camps running in the background. What scares me even more is that Americans watch Fox and support this stuff.

The government's decision to invite Donald Trump for a second state visit is a disgrace. Trump's support for Israel has been central to the continuing genocide of the Palestinian people. SIGN THE PETITION: Stand up to Trump - Cancel the state visit palestinecampaign.eaction.org.uk/noTrumpvisit

Psaki: I felt a mixture of anger—a lot of anger—and emotional exhaustion about this today, as I’m sure many of you have, because we have been here so many times. And yet again, like clockwork, half the politicians in our country have little more to offer than thoughts and prayers.

We in the UK need to rethink too. It would be naive to think there will be a change of government in the US in 2028. Knowing the criminal history of Trump, including the storming of Congress and undermining elections, Americans still chose him to be POTUS. They may well do so again.

He caused the problem in the first place. As an EU nation we had the right to send illegal immigrants, who crossed the English Channel, back. So when we left, surprise surprise, the numbers have rocketed. Farage is a very dangerous man. Americans may recognise the type.
