Look, for fuck’s sake, humans have been migrating continuously for our entire existence.
Every single human in the world is the product of migration.
It’s what humans do. There is nothing *more* human.
That’s never going to change.
Just grow up, get the fuck over it and plan accordingly.

Life as a food delivery worker: ‘Sometimes men open the door naked’
To earn a living as a delivery rider, some work 10-12 hour days, contending with low pay, exhaustion, accidents, injuries and harassment. Is this a new form of modern slavery?

London is also diverse. It's hugely multicultural, and it's a largely tolerant and welcoming place.
Sure it has it's problems and the housing crisis is a big one.
But the haters don't hate this city because of that.
They hate it because it stands as living proof that multiculturalism works.

Oh this is very disappointing. As a teenager I thought Omar Sharif was hot. Now I’m watching Lawrence of Arabia and he looks like Omar Sharif trying to be exotic. Ridiculous.

If people no longer want to come here, it’ll be because the country is fucked. Not because we’re a success story but have closed our borders to immigrants.
Ps. We will not be a success story without immigration.

One last thing. All those Labour supporters posting pretty infographics about all the achievements, this new proposed policy on refugees is the kind of thing that means those infographics don't make any difference to the polls. One piece of vicious xenophobia drowns it all out.

Inherited wealth is the absolute enemy of equality. Spend it or pass it on before you die by all means, but anything left in an estate should be taxed at 80+%
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

The upcoming changes to the asylum system, which are all about putting refugees off from coming to the UK. are being sold as “the most radical” since the Second World War.”Presumably that’s referring to the signing of the Refugee Convention and recognising the importance of the rights of refugees….

We dubbed it ‘Hamasgate’, the right wing went crazy over a simple truism - even suggesting I’d broken UK terror laws. MPs, Peers, the Daily Mail obvs, GB News - and others. It was crazy. I sued the ones that wouldn't correct what they’d said - current score 9 - 0.

Well that’s odd @tommckinney.bsky.social said “when he was in his early forties, despite his age, Vaughan Williams signed up to fight in the war”. Is early forties old now? Huh. #bbcradio3

Everything Farage has instigated & pushed for has been a disaster for the UK. He’s a traitor of the highest order.
We’re now in a divided, bitter, isolated & poor country of his making.
Of course he wants to torch the BBC, it’s a valuable British institution.
Putin must be over the moon with him.

Completely beyond why people try to defend Labour record on treatment of asylum seekers. They are awful.
They have done terrible things the Tories never even thought of, like denying any refugee who came here through irregular means from EVER becoming a citizen & ENDING FAMILY REUNIFICATION. demons.
