The name Katie Lam should be now equivalent to Mosley, Stephen Y-L and Enoch Powell as synonym for British fascism. She should be persona non grata across all sections of society. No doubt she'll get a book deal soon and a show on GB News.

Katie Lam freaks me out because she looks exactly like those fresh faced, blonde bobbed, German 'angels' of the camps. But also, as we say in Austrian and very crudely, who shat in her brain? Descended from holocaust survivors!

I really think people are underestimating the degree to which 21st century politics are going to be apocalyptically bad; we are collectively sliding towards mass ethnic cleansing being the norm in the Western World, out of no reason but pure fucking spite and empty nostalgia.
Tory policy is to revoke permanent residence (ILR) for everybody who does not earn £38k - deporting most nurses who have ILR
This is put in the video as "who is unlikely to contribute more than they cost"
NB: video does not say EU settled status is exempt
No govt since Idi Amin has done this

Excited for the time when Wikipedia will be taken over by a far right billionaire, whoopee do
we have gone from a world in which we were told not to cite wikipedia because it was unreliable to a world where wikipedia might be the only reliable source left on the internet and we all owe a lot to the pedantic nerds who got us there
for all people mock it wikipedia is genuinely one of the wonders of the modern world

It's not just young men, it's radicalised men and women from white backgrounds, often middle class, in their 50s+.
What we’re dealing with is something most media and politicians don’t want to see, which is that their failure to regulate tech fascists or deal with rising authoritarianism has radicalized a generation of young men who are looking to feel powerful and are easy targets for Nazis.
