Goodwin's palpable disgust for black and brown people is, of course, a colonial inheritance. But the "national" prosperity that made Britain's welfare state possible is in no small part a colonial inheritance too, plundered from places like Africa and south Asia. He might show a little gratitude.

1. Family reunification is ALREADY limited to "close family"
2. Forcing people to avoid claiming benefits they are entitled to and need under threat of being refused citizenship is horrifically cruel. That was the policy under Michael McDowell and it caused great hardship to the most vulnerable.

New: major overhaul of immigration laws to see citizenship denied to those who got welfare, or are in debt. Family reunification only for close family, tighter rules around self sufficiency. Changes to revoke residency for those who commit serious crimes

“It's both possible, and even necessary, to simultaneously enjoy media while also being critical of its more problematic or pernicious aspects" was such a simple message that was so thoroughly and viciously rejected, but i think many of you still need to learn it

Counterpoint. Ireland needs more of most things and fewer David McWilliamses.
Breakneck by Dan Wang is worth a read. McWilliams takes the wrong lessons from it & passes it off as his own homework. In short China is run by engineers, that see all problems including humans as engineering problems, the book warns against this, not for it. www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2025...
David McWilliams: To get things done, Ireland needs more engineers and fewer lawyers
A country run by engineers will build and accelerate into the future, while one run by lawyers will litigate and decelerate

I would put it like this. Minority communities and the majority of the majority community have integrated v.well. However, a significant minority of the majority community and a significant majority of the political class are stubbornly refusing to integrate, and that is where the real problem lies.
Fundamentally, the UK is a massive success story on integration and most of the anxiety around it from the right should be treated as in insincere concern trolling it actually is.
Remember integration? That thing voters "really, really" care about? Where's that in the latest plans?

Do the people of Newham, Brent, Tower Hamlets, Haringey, Croydon etc get to have "Legitimate Concerns"? Or is that a privilege reserved just for the people who hate us?
The multi-ethnic, socially liberal working and middle classes of London are as much Labour's "traditional voters" as anyone else. Perhaps we can now start talking about how its immigration policies have betrayed them and what the political consequences might be.
I've been out canvassing quite a lot in London lately. Labour's vote has absolutely evaporated.... it is quite extraordinary to go to places where Labour were on 50-60% of the vote at the last locals and find nobody, or virtually nobody, supporting them.

I've been thinking about this a lot - perhaps the only way to preserve any freedom of thought is a strategic retreat from English.
