🚨 UK Trade and Business Commission's new report:
"Ministers could allow more than 40,000 EU citizens into Britain as part of a youth mobility scheme without increasing net migration, research suggests, before talks in Brussels on Starmer’s EU reset."

UK could allow in 40,000 EU citizens under youth mobility scheme
Net migration would be unaffected, however, according to a study that shows more young Britons left the UK as part of existing schemes than came the other way

To be honest, I never ever remember anyone making jokes about the holocaust in the 70s.
I DO remember the police guarding hundreds of NF members doing a Nazi salute on the roof of a pub opposite the Rock Against Racism concert in Victoria Park
They weren’t joking
Real Nazis are still around

I remember the kids who made "jokey" Hitler salutes in school. They were utter cunts in every other aspect of their personalities, too.
It's not an excuse, it's a confession.

You know I actually find it really intriguing that a bunch of British upper class people are coming out of the closet to admit that as children they made "jokey" Hitler salutes, because I was once (if in another country) the child on the receiving end of that kind of "jokey" antisemitism.
