Beyond the media's omission of migrants navigating a path to ILR paying thousands of £ for the NHS, visa fees, NI, etc., and of any opposing views, this to me is as clear a plan to strip dignity away from those who choose to build a life here as can be. And it's been given legitimacy.

Each day, we learn of new horrors about the ongoing genocide in Palestine. Yet nothing seems sufficient to compel Western governments to take meaningful action to end it. They are dragging us, alongside Israel, to a point of no return.

They waited for paramedics and first responders to arrive.
Then they bombed it again.
This is known as the 'double tap'.
