It's like something from a dystopian sci-fi comic.

Yep. The way I see it is, we feel shit because we live under end-stage capitalism, but we're encouraged to understand this as a symptom of our personal failure to thrive. We're not supposed to feel our prospects have been stolen and banked by the billionaires.

My version: putting acup over a spider, bread ends in the fridge, hoovering before you go on holiday, the lawn, damp, boiling eggs, the big issue, spice, vaginally thrush, tyre pressure, 20% of goats, a plastic bag with bananas in, coal. That's the real Britain.

Yep. In the UK we saw the blackshirts off at Cable Street and routinely threw bricks at Moseley wherever we went to spread fascism. There are always more of us than there are of them. We have to show that this is true.

In the thirties it was the working class who chased off Mosely and his officer-class fascist henchmen.

It was bollocks as a concept, never gonna get off the ground, but if we waved goodbye to the hardcore bible punchers it would have have demonstrably made the world a better place.

It's just a shame they're fucking up near future speculative fiction, which shouldn't be possible if you think about it.

Thousands of Londoners have indefinite leave to remain.

They have legal rights and are our friends, neighbours and colleagues, contributing hugely to our city.

Threatening to deport people living and working here legally is unacceptable.
