Tant och tönt. Associate Prof in Law at Uni Reading. Lives by the sea. Listens to the Archers, despairs at Politics, loves long country walks with husband and dog. If you have to resort to "F*ck off bitch!" you probably lost the argument a few bleets ago.

I see the plan there - campaign as long as they can, go to as many protests for photo ops, head off to picket lines, shout solidarity a lot and avoid any of the complicated part about real solutions with really hard choices - same as the last 40 odd years then

Well said Lisa Nandy!
Reform have no real answers to anything.

To be clear: deportations to increase cultural homogeneity is the text book definition of ethnic cleansing. Demands that come even close to this are so far outside any democratic norm and the rule of law. What has happened to a country when this is not condemned in the strongest possible terms?

Apropos of nothing, I really do think UK journalists and politicians need some reminding that mass deportation of LEGAL immigrants, particularly those with permanent status, is far more extreme than even Trump's America and would basically place Britain completely on its own among democracies.

No, it's not all just good honest patriotism: this appeared on our daily dog walk on Lancing Beach Green. Don't worry, Spitha, you're going nowhere and neither am I.

Over the last 24 hours Reform, with just a single policy announcement, have put fear where previously there was none into the hearts of millions of UK residents.
No 10 and the Chancellor have said nothing about the ethics of this.
I have no words left for them.

Reform are filth. They represent hatred, extremism, ignorance and irresponsibility. They'd make us a wretched vicious hateful little island. If people don't stand up to this, they won't stand up to anything.

Harper Moyski. It's worth knowing more about her, her life and legacy, rather than more focus on the guy who basically got what he wished for others as "an acceptable price to pay"
The mother of a 10-year-old girl killed during a mass shooting at a Catholic church in Minneapolis remembered her Sunday as a fierce, curious and funny child who “didn’t water herself down.”
