“Island of strangers” wasn’t even the worst part. The ‘incalculable’ harm bit - in the intro to the white paper - and the ‘squalid chapter’ were even worse. And later, his ‘understanding’ the far right rioters outside asylum seekers’ hotels was a real low point.

And the truly shitty anti-immigrant policies on indefinite leave to remain and family reunion can’t be glossed over. This is a very anti-immigrant government, playing a key role in the rise of racism and racist abuse.

It is a bit.

For a year or two he has been getting attention by making obviously fake claims that go viral when people debunk them.

Claiming a paid model is his girlfriend, claiming he owned a rented yacht, claiming a hotel room was a penthouse he bought, and so on.

When Boris (as Mayor) wanted to do his stupid Boris Island Airport project it meant that serious people had to do serious impact assessments of the SS Montgomery.

"JAMES BOND" IS NOT A CODENAME. HE ALREADY HAS A CODENAME. IT IS 007. RESIST THE URGE TO CANONISE STUFF. CANONISATION IS THE MIND KILLER. CANONISATION IS AMERICAN

That P Andrew interview - according to Andrew Lownie in "Entitled" most of the background was the work of Laura Burns, a producer on Panorama working from N. Ireland. Panorama tried for an interview and were refused with denials about that photograph. When A settled on Newsnight, months of 1/3

Thats the same captured "pro-trans" bbc that ran a piece by a lesbian rapist against trans people because it confirmed their anti-trans biases.

Newsagents, the BBC and Hannah Barnes did not report this recent tragedy which the coroner blamed on lack of access to preventative healthcare.

"We were told that these anti-trans clinicians encouraged a person on the board of governors at GIDS, David Bell, to write a report on their “concerns” about the clinic. He had, without approval from the trust, made a report" that was “highly critical” and “verging on transphobic”

That Maitlis appears to be so proud of being instrumental in stripping an entire generation of trans youth of gender-affirming medical care - which has led to several suicides already - is quite frankly obscene.

I'd think consensus from the medical establishment outweighs concerns from a few hack journalists.
