The far right will never fix anything. Ever. We shouldn’t need to learn that lesson again.
“It’s not that the remedies offered by Farage, Rupert Lowe, various fascists and some Conservatives are cruel and morally shameful, which they are, but that they are impractical and costly”

Still true:
*Britain is a success story
*Most of its cities are doing astonishingly well
*Multiculturalism is popular
*Mass immigration has not led to social disintegration
*Nostalgia is increasingly weird
*Britain is incredibly safe
*Levels of social cohesion are high
Don't let them gaslight you.

Heard an interesting anecdote today. Friend was up in Canada last weekend and, when entering via the Nexus line, there was a Tesla in front that got grilled for 15min. My friend breezed right through.
It would be *hilarious* if Canadian immigration officials were profiling Tesla drivers.

On Friday,3/14/25,Trump said: “Etched onto the walls of this building are the words English philosopher John Locke said: ‘Where law ends, tyranny begins' and I see that.”
We know he sees that. It's part of his plan. His lawlessness is his map to HIS tyranny.
We MUST stop him.
