I just got a Sky News alert saying “Britain has 'lost control' of its borders.”
I couldn’t believe it at first, but I checked and the country is now shaped like a Ninja Turtle eating a pizza.

LIVING IN AN ISLAND OF STRANGERS
By Michael Rosen.
I lay in bed
hardly able to breathe
but there were people to sedate me,
pump air into me
calm me down when I thrashed around
hold my hand and reassure me
play me songs my family sent in
turn me over to help my lungs
shave me, wash me …

One of my ancestors grew up speaking a foreign language and living in this country. I'd ask him what he thought about this. Except he's buried in Imphal war graves cemetery.

"It is well-known that most of the mainstream media do not approach a Labour Government in a neutral way.
Some blatantly misrepresent what is happening, but more often they simply do not report activity, leaving people with a sense that the government is doing nothing."

Government is busy: but the media are not telling you
Despite what the press tells us, the government is very busy, often doing popular things. But you wouldn’t know it from the press coverage

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.
