As a brown Muslim immigrant kid with a thick accent who went to a private school age 13, I can recognise Nigel types in a blink.
"Just having a laugh old boy, it's only banter, do they not have jokes in Bangladesh?"
Followed by teacher: "You should learn to take it if you want to fit in"

Our politics are still defined by resentment & hatred of these people.
We still believe that they can be perpetually denied all the safety & comforts that we have always taken for granted.
We dehumanise ourselves & our society by treating their lives like they're worthless.

In France, people still remain destitute, are still beaten, tear gassed & robbed by the French police, still have no hope but the idea that by risking their lives one more time, the UK will provide them the chance of a future.
And we still imagine we can make them disappear.

Ireland managed the same testing programme for less than a million pounds. Where is Dido Harding? Why isn't she answering for the loss of that £37 billion that the NHS could really use NOW?

Labour has not just lost me as someone who voted for them last year - they’ve pushed me into active opposition with this constant and relentless attack on migrants.
The party of Attlee and Bevan is gone - all we now have left is the party of bending the knee to the likes of Farage and Co.

Why I can't Back Labour Anymore
I've given them fifteen months. They've used these to sidle up closer and closer to Reform. I am done.
