A demonisation of immigrants to mask the failures of government.
Lies about sovereignty.
A cynical refusal by politicians and media to tell us the truth.
So very Brexit.

Just so we're clear, one incident of alleged anti-semitism by a musician = a major national scandal that should be roundly condemned.
Multiple incidents of alleged anti-semitism from the man leading the race to run the country = a load of nothing that should be completely ignored

A winter flu surge.
A looming doctors’ strike.
A health system with no slack left.
This is neither bad luck nor a “perfect storm” - it’s exactly what will happen when resilience is treated as optional and difficult decisions are used to excuse incompetent ones.
A Saturday long read.

A Chinese businessman set up an SEZ in Laos. The gamblers arrived first. Then came the drug runners and human traffickers.
Don't assume for one second that corporate crime is not coming to the UK's 74 deregulated SEZs and 12 Freeports, Brexit continues to be all about legalizing lawlessness.

Eh, David, it might be like that for a long time. The important thing is that you are doing good work raising awareness. Also, you are not alone. Did you see this Bloomberg article about an SEZ in Laos?
