Entitled students, EU red tape, EU immigration, EU in toto, non-EU immigration, trans people, black people in adverts, asylum seekers. Don't worry, the same people who have been in charge of the country this entire time want you to know they're going to find the culprits any day now.

Just to echo Rodent, UK politics makes much more sense if you understand it as Thatcherism collapsing in 2008 but persisting as gospel among the elites, who then spent the next two decades setting up various scapegoats to slaughter and then go, "Whoops. Turns out the blood is in another neck!"
I am not going to tell you my ideas are for def 100% the solution but I am going to say that it was crystal clear ten years ago that migrant-squealing Thatcherite centrism was a democratic disaster, and the lads spent that entire time screeching and gargling to protect it.

Just so: the financial crisis laid waste to Thatcherism but our politicians and media are all Thatcherites, so they have spent all the time since desperately trying to prop up the Thatcherite consensus. Doing this has led them to the verge of fascism.

While it feels like I'm repeatedly slamming my head against a brick wall repeating this massively simple concept. Saying "Reform would be worse" doesn't make what Labour is doing better. Labour is now the most anti-immigration, anti-any marginalised group, government we have seen in decades. 1/
Very long thread: As with many of Labour's anti-immigration policies, this isn't new. British police have been stationed in other countries for this purpose for a long time
It does however show how Labour is pushing more on anti-immigration than previous governments. 1/

It's wild how "our intellectual elite are a bit morally smug" warrants the same article being pushed out saying as much for a decade, but a global paedophile ring in which many of our richest and most powerful and leading minds all took part is, you know, uncouth to talk about.
Someday you, too, could have the moral fortitude to look upon a years-long rape circus organized by the nation's most powerful elites and declare, "The people upset about this are speaking about it the wrong way."

Reporter to Trump: Elise Stefanik calls Mamdani a "jihadist." Do you think you're standing next to a jihadist?
Trump: No, I don't. But she's out there campaigning, and you say things sometimes in a campaign. She's a very capable person.

Find something to love the way Liberals love rehabbing fascist republican war criminals
Watching the funeral of VP Dick Cheney and listening to his daughter, Congresswoman Liz Cheney, speak. One can only hope that this GOP will find its democratic compass again and reject all things fascist. I didn’t always agree with VP Cheney BUT he was antifa. He always put country over party.RIP🙏

Fun fact: this is explicitly why Dick Wolf created Law & Order: he violently hates defense attorneys and felt tere weren't enough shows about how defendants and their lawyers are scum
(also when somebody "gets off on a technicality" that actually means the cops committed a crime against them)

These guys got arrested for a conversation supposedly overheard by an off duty cop at a fucking restaurant
speaking as a virginia beach native if these kind of dudes are plotting against ICE then there is wide runway in public opinion for straight up abolishing the agency under a dem presidency
Kempsville High School assistant principal charged for threats against police, ICE
Virginia Beach assistant principal John Bennett and Mark Bennett charged for conspiring threats against police and ICE agents. Both are held without bond.

Synthetic voters/audiences are increasingly being used by political campaigns. They’re being sold as a more affordable alternative to real focus groups and polls.
This is a horrible idea for many reasons, including that the results are weird and bad.
