Believer in real, constitutional, democracy and unfashionable truth telling in politics.
The last war, the crushing of human rights, is why British and other Europeans established the European Convention on Human Rights. Nothing to do with how the UK deals with immigrants who are proven to be here illegally, in small boats or whatever. They can be deported. IF ITS THE RIGHT THING TO DO

Always remember that Tories/Reform wanted Brexit so that they could ignore rules that everyone else followed. A race to the bottom. Deregulation. A bonfire of *our* rights and protections. Exploitation and consumer risk so that the wealthy and the powerful could grab more wealth and more power.

"Seizing Brexit opportunities to deregulate" was mostly unspecified magic fairy pixie bullshit then, and it's not going to get any more realistic in the hands of a bunch of Reform clowns who don't know how anything works, don't care to learn and disdain anyone that might.

This has been one of the worst recent developments… the media shrug at the brazen racism of the right… passing it off as an expression of concern or patriotism, when they should have been calling it out in the strongest terms.
The damage this has done to our communities is unforgivable.
