Shabana Mahmood's proposal to stop being told to "go back home" is to send people "home". Her proposal to stop black and brown people from feeling like they don't belong, is to bake in to the immigration system that they will never belong.

I too would be saying stuff like this, if my status and career depended on people not ever saying openly that I had been deeply complicit in an avoidable calamity with a five figure bodycount

The “piggy” comment is really disturbing.
Yes it is bullying and just mean and disrespectful.
But it’s probably also indicative of a continuing loss of inhibitory control. And that’s a sign of cognitive decline.

I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills: the emails from Landon Thomas has his New York Times signature block...he was employed by NY Times at the time. He was communicating directly with Epstein about Trump, and was given incriminating information about Trump. It's been in NYT's possession since 2015

It is clearly deeply annoying for a sociopath when a human collapses nearby and distracts attention from him.

One potential factor in X radicalisation/racism which shouldn’t be ignored is the financial incentive to be outrageous/widely-shared. Rupert Lowe - whose payments we know as he has to declare them - can clear £5,000 a month in X payments.
