I hate to pull the immigrant card, but as an immigrant, it feels awful when elected MPs say I ‘need to go home’ and propose stripping me and all other immigrants of all our legal rights to live here. No, anywhere immigrants move is their home. The UK is my home.

maybe someday there will be a European Reunion that simultaneously brings back Great Britain and reorganizes the bloc into a more cohesive and capable polity. a kind of 1789 moment.

at least Russia is helping.

Jenrick was a full on casual at 5 but got into ecstacy at 7 and really mellowed

The chances that Robert Jenrick *literally* went to "more than a few football matches in the away end" at Villa Park *in the 1980s* (ie, before his 8th birthday on 8.1.1990) are vanishingly small to non-existent. (He may have been in the away end at Villa Park as a child or teenager in the 1990s)

Who will want to carry the mantle of the tainted Duke of York title now?

How is York coping without a Duke and Duchess? Will people in York be ok? Are the jobs advertised locally or will they go again to outsiders?

The silence of the Westminster lobby as one of their own backs calls for me — an elected Member of Parliament — to be deported is telling.

No condemnation, just bootlicking of their proprietors and jostling for Zone 2 dinner party invites.

Our media class is rotten to the core.

What about the cover up by the royal family over years about his behaviour. Surely they need to be held account as well for covering up his behaviour.

this is obviously appalling - and he should lose his job - but it's also really quite shocking; I first met Calgie when he was a baby reporter in his early twenties and sure, he was always a Tory, but he was....fine and normal? right-wing radicalisation is out of control in SW1

A mainstream “journalist” calling for a British MP to be deported. Is it because I’m Muslim? Next time, just say it with your chest.

In case you missed it ...
This was Nigel Farage's infamous "Breaking Point" poster. It helped convince millions that Brexit would "Take Back Control" of our borders. People now see it was just another Farage lie – one directly inspired by imagery used by the Nazis in the Third Reich.
