I think the 'Labour are just like the Nazis' hit its peak on here last night & a lot of posters, some with large accounts & podcasts to sell, showed themselves to be deeply unserious people

Hope it all calms down & people start thinking, not screeching

Sky News have just chosen to mention the 944,000 (2023) figure while ignoring the latest available figure of 345,000 (2024). Why would they do that??
Revised estimates from the ONS suggest that net migration reached a peak of 944,000 in 2023 (rather than 906,000) and fell faster in 2024, to 345,000 (not 431,000).

This.

For fuck sake will people take 2 minutes to inform themselves before pretending to believe the govt is planning to strip refugees of their assets and jewellery on the sodding beach?
And: "I made it clear that this is not about taking jewellery—wedding rings and so on—off people at the border; that will never happen"

Do I need to go on? It's bloody clear to me.

If anyone keeps repeating the lies, they are doing what the media wants and sharing misinformation.

Now I'm retired, I've had the chance to watch Mahmood's statement and most of the debate. Nothing she said bore the slightest resemblance to what I saw on here last night.

Can we put the 'confiscating jewellery' thong to bed now?

It is something brought up by the media in a question. It is likely an attempt by someone with a long memory to create a story based on a comment about jewellery from a government minister 26 years ago.

I don’t think the government is trying to win over Reform voters. It’s trying to fix our broken immigration and asylum system, in a similar way to other countries in the EU (the institution that people are scrambling to get back into). www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The outrageous comparisons between Mahmood’s asylum proposals and what the Nazis did to Jews are utterly reprehensible and often antisemitic.

This site is as f****d up as the other one in many ways. A complete lack of perspective from many "Mahmoud and Starmer are just like the Nazis", and a moral and ideological certainty about their worldview.

God, all those people who got their noteriety on Twitter 'performatively' ridiculing Brexit (hugely successfully...erm) are back at it again this evening on here

Increasingly, reading stuff on here, I am reminded of the axiom - 'vote for the least bad option.'

People on here burble on about how terrible Labour is & then say they're going to vote Green

Cui bono?

Well, that's the fascists. There aren't Green/Reform crossover bods. Nigel says 👍

Depressing

I must confess, I feel like it's 2015 again. When Corbyn was elected Labour leader, I thought 'well, they're not serious about actually winning.'

Feel the same about the Greens & Polanski.

Shame, in some ways

Some rather muddled thinking on here...

To summarise...

'I don't like what the media has reported about the Government's stance on immigration so I'm going to vote Green, which will let in Farage's fascists who actually want to repatriate people of colour...'

Hmm...

I can't believe Polanski is going to make it to general election. Failed actor. Failed therapist ('with hypnosis, I can make your breasts bigger!') Failed Lib Dem (wow) yet people on Bluesky think he'll bwat Farage...

He operates under a stage name!

The BBC is the biggest thump of soft power the UK has and its reach and influence to the benefit of the country is extraordinary. Destroy it, hugely damage the UK. The same people who helped weaken us over Brexit are seeking to do it again.
Interesting to see so many great British patriots right now begging an American president to bankrupt one of Britain’s last remaining truly national institutions.

Odious lying bastards. Let's set the record straight. Britain entered WW1 ON THE RUSSIAN SIDE three days AFTER Germany declared war on Russia. Britain entered WW2 two days after Germany attacked Poland WITH FULL SUPPORT FROM THE USSR following the Hitler-Stalin pact.
