Finally I acknowledge the case for mass deportation. Those clamouring for it, however might not approve of my choice of candidates for expulsion.

I have in mind Robinson, Farage, Katie Hopkins and every other far right demagogue we can round up...’

Supporting the case for mass deportation- but wait until you see which deportees i have in mind - and praising Max Hastings for demonstrating against the Trump visit. @mrjamesob.bsky.social @kevmag.bsky.social @elizacarthy.bsky.social

I wish the Standard well. But why would its absurdly titled Chief Content Officer insult Londoners by pushing the far right down their throats? Four pages of pretty unchallenging chat between the Officer’s predecessor (Dylan Jones) and Trump-loving Nigel Farage.
