The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions.
It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

I think a useful response to the political plans of well-funded fascists is not "how ridiculous, they could never achieve those laughably cruel aims" but instead "they mean what they say, they are going to kill a lot of people before they are stopped, how about we make sure they don't get to try".

"My mentor always tells me, 'Kim, dogs don’t bark at parked cars." They’re coming after critical race theory, 1619, intersectionality because these ideas mobilized people. They gave them the language to actually articulate what they were seeing with their own eyes," says Kimberlé Crenshaw.

"I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain." This James Baldwin quote is hitting harder than ever.

The Bend It Like Beckham sequel needs to be gay as hell

The process of colonial theft doesn't end when you finish extracting people's wealth and resources on their soil at gunpoint. It continues when you then deploy violent borders to shut out people from those countries so you can keep the proceeds of that theft for yourselves
Zoe Gardner: "70% of the asylum seekers who've come to the UK in the last 20 years came from countries that we had previously colonised. That means they speak the language, they have ties to this country, we have communities here"

The 'perk' myth is so pervasive that it came up frequently in my research on Blue Badge encounters, even though the BB scheme has been largely exempt from cuts & scrounger rhetoric. Envy & resentment are strong emotions used to scapegoat disabled people so governments can get away with anything
At the heart of every attack on disability benefits is the myth disabled people “get perks”: a free car, loads of cash, a life off work. It misrepresents the reality of disability, whilst exploiting low wages and high living costs to make the public envy people in daily pain.
