Trying this outlet in the mistaken belief I have some control and influence in the world.
In the Nazi party there were 2 types who enabled the holocaust: those who were evil and the regime enabled that evil (Stephen Miller) and those vying for Hitlers favour who kept ramping up the evil to impress him (Kirsty Neom). Both are dangerous.

Of course Suella Braverman has defected to Reform, she was a shoe in, brown and racist.

A few months ago, ICE hired me
I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable
And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof.
What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

The BBC row is interesting because I despise Trump but I am concerned about an edit that changes what someone said and ignores the nuance of the situation. Ignoring nuance and oversimplifying complex issues is a tool of the right wing and responsible journalists ought not to do that.
