Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country?

Glad we've cleared that up. Let's hear no more about immigration and refugees then.

When ministers defended Starmer over Mandelson’s links to Epstein this week, they rushed to X - a platform that lets users strip photos of women and girls.

Is it surely time for the government to log off X? And is social media too toxic for all of us?

Given the toxicity of social media, a moral question now faces all of us: is it still ethical to use it? | Frances Ryan
With so many platforms rife with racism, misogyny and far-right rhetoric, there must be a point where decent people walk away, says Guardian columnist Frances Ryan

Your regular reminder that Reform UK's "Family, Community, Country" is reminiscent of "Travail, Famille, Patrie", the motto of Vichy France during WW2.

A reminder that a large proportion of politicians and public organisations continues to be present on Elon Musk's hellsite.

If he ran a pub no respectable person or institution would ever go inside.
"Whites are a rapidly dying minority,”
Elon Musk posted on 22nd January. The radicalised and radicalising X owner posted about race on 26 days out of 31 in January, the Guardian reveals. His site also invariably protects unlawful racist posts in the UK

"This feeds into the far-right trope that migrants in the UK are imposing their culture and language on us," says @lewisgoodall.com.

Suella Braverman, Robert Jenrick and now Manchester Utd co-owner Jim Ratcliffe – has extreme language about migrants become 'normalised' in the UK?

Education matters.
