The fact that immigration has become THE dominating topic is a failure of both mainstream media and government The far right have played these organisations like a god damn fiddle so effectively, one has to wonder if the BBC has a humiliation kink

That is sadly the conclusion of "harm reduction" politics with no clear hardlines You just end up conceding to facists
It’s so frustrating because, if we portrayed the situation accurately, we would be horrified at how inhumane and rotten our systems are But no, we’ll still be screaming “SMALL BOATS” every fucking day until the 2029 election when the far right will sweep into power
Labour and “liberal” commentators in the uk have lost control of the narrative by giving Reform any ghost of an inch and now we have a looming far right takeover We are playing “look ma, no hands” with a car going 100mph and careening towards a cliff edge
“Why is nobody seriously scrutinising Reform’s awful beliefs?!” BECAUSE YOU KEEP ALLOWING REFORM TO DOMINATE THE CONVERSATION

They are fucking blowing it so badly. There is an insane far right party imminently on the cusp of gaining power and the most they can do is pretend their xenophobic immigration policy (just one of their batshit promises) have any semblance of merit
I mean Labour is playing into their hands too with Starmer and he's a spineless fuck. Transphobic as he is, Corbyn would be better. It's fucking unbelievable. This is like the filter of the fucking century and everybody's failing it except far left people, fuck Me
This literally textbook. This is baby’s first fight with fascism stuff
Many things make sense and become predictable if you rather think of it as a success. Institutions are captured across the board, at all decision making levels.
Well, the fact that the inherent greed of Western civilization is entirely responsible for the unfolding global catastrophe of climate change directly resulting in ecosystem collapse and mass human migration kind of means this conflict was inevitable.
