Reform supporters chant about deporting refugees, migrants, Muslims. Yet Reform is full of wealthy immigrants and Muslims.
They resent poverty. They target people without money, power or protection. Rich migrants are welcomed . Poor, desperate ones are demonised. It's about class not borders.

The government wants to expand the Public Order Act so that sites linked to animal testing are treated as “protected” infrastructure.

If the Lords approve it tomorrow, even minor, peaceful disruption near a licensed university, not just labs but anywhere on campus, could carry serious penalties.
