You are missing the point. ‘Legitimate concerns’ was a response to a foreign racist billionaire accusing his government of treason. Not to a UK voter complaining about a lack of housing.
All the British Abdul’s with corner shops have done more service for their community than Mr Carswell’s will ever do.
Heaping cliche on cliche like a, I dunno, game of Jenga? Compost heap?
YES! Thank you... Say it again, and again, and again. They are not "illegal immigrants". - seeking asylum is legal and has been since 1951.
Mistreating & abusing citizens is not morally more reprehensible than mistreating & abusing those deemed “illegal”...[but] if we turn a blind eye to such treatment on the grounds that “it’s only illegals being treated this way”, it will not remain “only illegals” observer.co.uk/news/columni...
“The ECHR isn’t Brussels meddling. It’s the foundation that protects you from your own government.” 👏👏👏
Archibishop of York, "We should actively resist the isolationist short term knee jerk, in this case, send them home" "Nigel Farage is saying the things he's saying but he's not offering any long term solutions to the big issues which are convulsing our world which lead to this"
This is the replica of the car in which 6-year-old Palestinian child Hind Rajab was killed while fleeing Gaza City with her family It was displayed in Bradford, UK, on what would have been her 7th birthday The original vehicle had been shot 335 times by Israeli forces

Why don't they just put a chart up?
Fantastic new article by @ailsahenderson.bsky.social & @richardwynjones.bsky.social on the @uk.theconversation.com. "...UK governments find it easier to address Farage’s successive foreigner problems than to look at their own role in stoking English grievance." theconversation.com/nigel-farage...
Yes over a threshold is a good idea.
Actually jaw dropping from James McMurdock MP, even by his standards. We cannot become numb to this. The far right are in Parliament, and they're trying to normalise outright, vicious racism (same goes for the likes of Rupert Lowe too)
Waxing lyrical about democracy while working for an autocrat
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...
Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, who resigned from the CDC, revealed that RFK Jr. has NEVER been briefed by CDC experts on measles, flu, or Covid: “No one from my center has ever briefed him on any of those topics…He’s getting his information from somewhere”
Ok where’s the anti Reform/Farage tweets?
Very succinct WSJ summary of the staggering migration shock that successive Tory governments inflicted on Britain as they tried to mitigate and hide the economic consequences of the Brexit disaster
Reform will have to reselect in Croydon, as their initial candidate for Mayor had been dead for 6 months when they selected her, Inside Croydon report Being dead is one way to pass the social media vetting but was likely to get noticed eventually insidecroydon.com/2025/08/27/f...
I think he went to every barrister until he found one that told him what he wanted to hear
What, Macron should eliminate all antisemitism in France before he can do or say anything about the mass slaughter of civilians in another country? What nonsense you post
I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees. No refugee underfunded a school. No refugee closed a hospital. No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled. We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!
As Farage parades around the studios and airwaves today can reporters please ask him why there were no Channel crossings prior to the Brexit which he claimed would "take back control of our borders". Thanks
Definitely don't repost the research that anti-wind groups are trying to bury using lawsuits www.climatedevlab.brown.edu/services-1 drive.google.com/file/d/1TAZw...
'Immigration doesn't bother me but it seems to bother everyone else' – Everyone. This is what happens when the media runs away with Hard Right narratives.
Sexual politics are being recalibrated; Women are speaking up when they are uncomfortable. This doesn’t mean they are always right, but that men are getting the benefit of the doubt less.
The logic is, we weren’t banging our head on the wall hard enough. Just do it harder and the wall will come down.
This is outstanding. God knows what Labour is doing: legitimising the racism that'll be its undoing, losing the coalition which put it in office, trying to secure voters who will never support it, digging its own moral grave. observer.co.uk/news/opinion...
Kamala Harris at her closing campaign rally: "Donald Trump intends to use the United States Military against American citizens who simply disagree with him."
"Israel’s control over Palestinian aquifers and its systematic restriction of water access in Gaza and the West Bank is a striking example of how resource management is turned into an instrument of collective punishment." johnmenadue.com/post/2025/08...

“Famine in Gaza is a deliberate atrocity, not a natural disaster.” The IPC has declared Gaza in Phase 5 famine, with over half a million people starving and children dying while food is blocked nearby. This man-made catastrophe has resulted from blockade and aid obstruction. The world must act.

Rússia Israel and the Sudanese RSF- the new Axis of Evil
She pled guilty. Probably on the advice of her solicitor. Wtf did Starmer do?
Genuinely baffled as to what Bertie Jenrick would have to do for any of the one in ten Tory MPs from an ethnic minority to go “steady on”. Turn up at their house in a Klan robe?
Also the party of states’ rights.
So, the party of limited government, strict constitutional originalism and free markets is now lining up for federal troops in cities, government-imposed censorship in education and state ownership of major corporations. Shocking, but not surprising, I suppose.

OTD in 1939 the Molotov Ribbentrop pact was signed. It remains one of the very few treaties we have honored.
But it should apply to anyone wearing a UVF T-shirt in Belfast or Glasgow as well though

I meant for any theoretical offender in Castlebar. The ability of the British justice system to pursue offenders in the EU was another thing weakened by Brexit.
ISRAEL BEGINS ITS ‘FINAL SOLUTION’ ATTACK ON GAZA CITY I am personally beyond horrified at the genocidal attack on the city by Israeli forces. This is the last step in what’s clearly a rolling racial and political extermination. I’m ashamed that my government has supplied arms to let this happen.

All this talk of Popper is bringing back traumatic memories of a series of tutorials I had where the tutor only stopped talking about KP in order to chain-light another cigarette. And the only other tutee used to fall asleep. Once I also fell asleep as well but he still didn’t stop talking!
There has been no proper enquiry because BIBI doesn’t want it
She was 11 years old. They saw an 11 year old child get water and bombed her. They are not human.
He’s a genius at destroying perhaps. He couldn’t put Humpty (Brexit ) together again. Mind you no one can
..which means it’s exactly the right thing to do
Tone deaf reporting
Some lacking principles, others lacking diplomacy and self-awareness.
That’s like something from 50 years ago in the UK
His emotions dictating his cognitions. Socrates would be most displeased
Where did the idea come from that he was some kind of prophetic genius when he’s a deluded fool?
Trump’s adoration is reserved for dictators, not defenders of freedom.

Melanie Philips is just a big rabid fascist- par for the course for her
It’s called ‘taking back control’ and then realising it costs too much
Tories criticising Labour for Tory government policies seems the new trend
Starmer has been urged to recall Parliament to “impose immediate sanctions” on Israel in a joint letter signed by politicians in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland ...
From one extreme nationalist neocolonialist (Kashmir) to another
"How quickly you would give up, for the sake of favor and what you think is a friendship with what is known to be a dictator who'd eat you for lunch." He ate him for lunch.
Want fewer migrants? Say goodbye to: * 30% of our tech workforce; * 1 in 4 hospitality workers; * 1 in 5 construction workers; * 16% of the NHS. Still sound like a good plan? Stephen McNair reports
The combination of Brexit and FPTP will continue to lead to absurdities like this, because no political party has an incentive to encourage realism. The fact that it is the LibDems, for years the most pro-European UK party, illustrates what a systemic problem it is.
“He was asking what he had done wrong […] and if the teachers don’t like him,” said his mother Anne, 45. Jake said he was planning to avoid using the toilet at school by limiting the amount he drinks, and was even worrying about how much liquid was in his yoghurt at breakfast” 11 year old trans boy
Just like in Germany or the UK. People who fight for peace, human rights and international law get criminalized…
I will post this everyday to remind us. She was always right.
“Putin would eat you for lunch.” Today, exactly that happened.
The lesson was Srebrenica. The test is Gaza. The difference between Gaza and Srebrenica is that the world still has an opportunity to stop the genocide in Gaza. (Mohamad Safa)
The only thing that should be happening in Alaska is the arrest of indicted war criminal Vladimir Putin. Anything else is a victory for evil. A POTUS should meet with those defending themselves against war crimes—with Putin begging to be involved due to a fear of consequences.
Interesting how you never see the head of this school on Question Time or elsewhere opining on the culture-war topic of the day.
Deluded to think Israel exists in isolation
“Israel’s far-right finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, said … that a plan to significantly expand a settlement near occupied East Jerusalem had won approval, & that it would thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state.” A two-state solution seems “impossible”? www.nytimes.com/2025/08/14/w...

Your Israeli mates are out of control trying to cover up the world's largest crime scene by killing the journalists Sanction Israel now!
Couldn’t be much worse than Robbie Gibb is
Jenrick's statement is very clearly meant to be heard as "I would not want a Muslim asylum seeker from Iran/Afghanistan/Syria as a neighbour/in my daughter's neighbourhood" The Sun's 2014 argument fits

#BREAKING | Pope Leo: Stop the war in Ukraine and the hunger in Gaza. May the hostages be freed.
FBI agents know nothing about policing the streets, so they are not even doing that
I can’t help but notice the Wall Street Journal stopped getting Epstein leaks after Todd Blanche met with Ghislaine Maxwell and she was moved to a minimum security resort.
I would say that they and most of the EU still treat Israel like a normal democratic state, not like the criminal apartheid state that it is.
It’s Back-To-School Month! Remember, reading is fundamental for ages 5 through 79!
Yes why does she allow terrorist spokesmen on TV if people cannot support people throwing red paint at the infrastructure of war crimes
(2/2) This marks at least 186 journalists killed in Gaza in under 2 years, according to the CPJ @pressfreedom.bsky.social My former colleague Mehul's piece: ft.com/content/1bd1... Al-Jazeera's own reporting: www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/8/...
Nothing is beneath Bibi
They talk about AI hallucinations. There are social media hallucinations! As if migrants are the main cause of criminal activity, they have obviously never talked to any prisoners.
100%. Many politicians obsess with “growth”, but growth of what? “The economy” they might retort - but what part of the economy? GDP is an appalling measure. It rewards many destructive dynamics alongside good dynamics- and with politicians hellbent on increasing it by any means - we’re screwed.
Claims that the ethnic cleansing in the West Bank is nothing to do with the State of Israel are becoming increasingly ridiculous
The inference is that some members of the scout group were not white & this is what triggered the abuse Media coverage reflects the idiocy at misrecognising scouts as asylum seekers but downplays the racist premise Need a bigger media,political, cultural pushback on kneejerk racism & xenophobia
