Whatever your political persuasion, whatever your ethical boundaries, surely there is point beyond which the sheer misery inflicted upon ordinary people by exploitative bastards like Andrew Milne should make us question how society ought to protect itself from such people.

Had a fast-food lunch today and boy is it not agreeing with me. I hardly ever have deep fried food so I'm assuming that's the issue. I expect an uncomfortable night. Lesson learnt.

I'd quite like to know what she means by "culturally coherent" because I have virtually nothing in common with white supremacists/the far right.

She is clear she wants lots of legal migrants to be told to "go home" so as "to leave a mostly but not entirely culturally coherent group of people"
(The interviewer suggests she is scrapping ILR or stripping people of it)

I was at FiLiA 2025 and what I saw, amid everything, was the power of female solidarity. Let's not lose sight of that.
The tenth anniversary conference of FiLiA, a major women’s liberation organisation in the UK, has just been held in Brighton.
