So bear in mind that when Labour are calling for these changes, what they mean is that it’s ok for some people to be treated inhumanly, as long as they’re migrants, and that some families should be destroyed, again as long as 1 or more of them is a migrant, no matter what the effect on the children

downwardly mobile educated alienated elite-adjacents clearly are a large part of the contemporary american left's constituency, but it's such a stupid thing to have a complex about or considering particularly damming. read like any history book ever about who starts political movements.

With Mahmood talking about copying Denmark's inhumane anti-asylum policies, it's worth remembering this is what Denmark is already sending people back to, just as others like Germany are planning. Conflict zones can remain unsafe for many for years after conflict ends.

It's also noteworthy that when the Danish People's Party were supporting a government, immigration policy got to such a point that the immigration minister ended up in prison. Considering the scale of consensus around anti-immigration among the establishment parties, quite an achievement.

It's not an exaggeration to say that Musk sees foreign aid as suicidal empathy. In his eugenicist views, it's suicidal to keep Black and brown people alive while white people are not having enough children. The deaths of 600,000 are not an unintended consequence. It's what he wanted.
I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

‘Propaganda’
I’m actually a policy nerd with a pretty clear sighted view of the costs and benefits who didn’t swallow the propaganda that ‘all immigration is good’. For example, do you think it’s good when the primary ‘benefit’ is to hold down wages in a sector?

Imagine the Labour Party having the guts and the grace to say something like this
Mamdani: "The bigger question is whether we are willing to say goodbye to ... anti-Muslim sentiment that has grown so endemic in our city that when we hear it, we know not whether the words were spoken by a Republican or a Democrat."

It’s mad to give migrants leave to remain when we’ve no idea if they contribute
Britain cannot afford to give a route to long-term residency and citizenship to thousands or eventually millions of new arrivals who will cost the country
