Pretty sure everything after the word "hypocrite" is superfluous in that Mirror headline. Just a couple of dots (...) would have done.

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it. ICE isnβt recruiting heroes, itβs recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures. Losers with power become the most dangerous kind. (c/o Caroline Codsi)

OK here goes. We've already been down this road with Corbyn when he led Labour. There was a massive PR job done by the FAR left wing and membership of the Labour party was boosted by kids. Huge numbers....and he still lost. Its not about who SIGNS up... its about who SHOWS up. Time will tell.

Don't get me wrong, that polyester lounge lizard needs to be gone from our politics, but I dislike Corbyn for a number of reasons that are at least political in nature.
WickedDandelion (@wickeddandelion.bsky.social) reply parent
I get that Nigel's "Look at Me, Look at Me" demands are given to much attention, but why does that entitle Corbyn to a place at the table? With Farage fronting a disgusting political party that people voted for and Corbyn fronting one that no-one has yet cast a vote for, its a false equivalency.

Interesting isn't it, that hardly anyone is using the term "refugee" any longer. Those getting away from war, destruction, intimidation and torture. Have we lost our ability to grant safe haven to these wretched victims? Do they think only economic migrants are trying to enter the UK.

Take off those blinkers. I have not mocked anyone. I simply could not figure out what rights this person felt they no longer had under Labour, so I asked. Then out came the trolls. If anything you've done this person no service by blaming me. I asked a question, I don't know what your problem is.

I have NEVER "dismissed" anyone for how they identify. I want a discussion on how long it takes for rights to be recognised. If you want to argue about womens' rights, then trying going back 300 years! This shit doesn't happen overnight, it takes a fight not a tantrum, to get what you want.

I hate to burst the USA bubble, but the Pilgrims who fled to the US from the UK for religious persecution, were being persecuted because they normalized marrying off 12 y-o girls to much older men. So.... its kinda in the DNA. It wasn't illegal back then (1600s), but it was not the norm.
