But the far right activists and those in their orbit who are driving the agenda on this, don’t care about net migration or indeed data, it’s about the politics of emotion.

Murdering, corrupt British state. 1. British soldiers let off with murder of 14 Irish civilians at Bloody Sunday. 2. Two weeks ago Johnson & his Tory cronies let off with the needless death of 20,000 during covid. 3. Today the police whose actions led to the deaths our mates, get let off.

Holy shit. So Elon decides it would be nice to know what region of the world people are posting from. So they add that little feature.
2 hours later they figure out that many Trump supporters with millions of followers are posting from other countries. Surprise!
That "feature" is now gone.

Let’s hope a class action for social murder is taken out against Johnson & others. It’s a concept used to describe an unnatural death that is believed to occur due to social, political, or economic oppression, instead of direct violence.

The mainstreaming of National Front 1970s policies and language is sickening. That’s why we need YP so it can offer a national alternative to the bile thsts coming from all the other main parties and media.

Have any Trusts put out reassuring statements for staff? I wrote to our CEO suggesting they did and silence can be seen as support. They referred me to BHM in October, but still no statement.

Nigel Farage claims his mass deportation plan would save the UK hundreds of billions of pounds over the coming decades.

New analysis of official statistics, forecasts and Reform's own figures suggests it would actually *cost* the UK hundreds of billions over the same period

Radio 4 yesterday was awful taking to Zia. It’s not a technical debate about how easy Reform can imprison asylum seekers, of course they can imprison people if they are in government. It’s a political debate about racism, their racist , dogwhistle rhetoric, scapegoating, treating people as humans.
