It's not just the fact that they're evil. It's not just the way they are working very hard to make 'asylum seekers' and 'illegal migrants' into interchangeable synonyms for each other. It's the glee with which they communicate these things. They take uncontainable joy in the suffering of others.

Will they also loot the dead bodies of those who drown trying to find safety?
Govt minister Alex Norris is asked if the govt will take jewellery from people [fleeing war and persecution]. Norris says the govt won't be taking peoples wedding rings but they will seize assets.

Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …

The Rapid Support Forces in Sudan are massacring civilians.
They're armed by the United Arab Emirates - a key Western ally.
This is yet more genocidal mayhem armed and facilitated by the West.

A side point but so much of British politics is just about advert representation really. Maybe England for the English does really just mean putting more white families in ads for debt collection or gambling sites
Reform UK MP Sarah Pochin, “It drives me mad seeing adverts full of black people, full of Asian people, full of anything other than white". She goes on to say there are now more or less no white people represented on British television anymore.

Keir Starmer shouldn't wait until the likely fiasco of the May local elections. If he has any concern for party and country, he should step aside now, giving his successor as long as possible to undo the damage of his disastrous premiership and restore hope in politics.

Treating the far right moment in the UK as a manifestation of displaced economic concerns or social media radicalisation - these are signs of a country that still refuses to fully come to terms with the history, depth and breadth of its ongoing racism problem.

Jenrick casting 1980s British football hooliganism as something that was easily dealt with by police and not an era defining issue which we're still living with the consequences of today... He's genuinely the most unserious person in British politics rn

Marches to end genocide are condemned because they supposedly make jewish communities anxious. But groups of football fans chanting "death to all arabs" around the streets of Birmingham is a good thing, actually.
The PM and leader of the Opposition have criticised the decision to ban away fans from the Aston Villa v Maccabi Tel Aviv football match in Birmingham. The police decision follows violence and rioting in Amsterdam in November at the Ajax v Maccabi game

Wrong to stop Maccabi Tel Aviv fans attending Aston Villa match, says PM
Followers of the Israeli club will not be allowed to attend the Europa League game over safety concerns.

This bit in particular: what, our leaders just decided that the UN aid agency were terrorists, then replaced them with mercenaries firing machine guns at starving civilians? Everyone involved needs to be tried for war crimes then sent to prison for decades.
