People's problems in this country aren't caused by other people seeking asylum.
They're caused by disingenuous politicians begging you to give up your hard-fought for human rights.
Tories now permanently stuck in Brexit-failure shit creek, demanding they flounce out of every institution with ‘European’ in its name, to avoid the rules and responsibilities that all our neighbours share.
The notion that these evil morons should oversee our human rights is sinister in the extreme.

On everything the Tories say to Starmer, he just has to turn round and reply 'what the f*ck were you doing for the last 14 years?'

The Tory Party in one word!
Word of the day is ‘pavonise’ (19th century): to strut about like a peacock, all puffed up with conceit.

Quite apart from the batshit crazy daily pronouncements from Trump and his followers, it's the profound lack of respect for other countries, their leaders and their peoples.
America voted for an idiot and a bully.

The Brexit Curse:

Brexit cost UK £27bn in lost trade in first two years.

British exports fell by 6.4%, imports by 3.1%.

OBR forecast a 15% slump in trade, leading to a 4% reduction in national income, over the longer term.

Self-inflicted harm.

Rejoin the EU.
