For Shabana Mahmood to attack some of the most cruelly treated people in the world as having won a "golden ticket" because they manage to get to and claim asylum in Britain is unforgiveable.

A new, far right, low for which I can think of no precedent, by any UK Government.

Well it seems to happily facilitate and support genocide so why not?
If the government really intends to seize jewellery and other valuables from refugees,
either
- it is staggeringly ignorant of the historical precedents
or
- it's aware of the precedents, and thinks, yeah, we'll have some of that.

There was a time I when I would have cared but after the last 10 years, Question time, Kuensberg, the Gaza reporting, the "firing"of Matless and the Newsnight team I think the closure of the BBC current affairs / news dept is no loss.
Just occurred that the BBC is the most literal example of Conquest's third law in that it is actually run by a cabal of its enemies.
