And what if you misspell "Britain" on your conference chocolate bars...? 🤔

So new migrants will have to learn English to an A-level standard, eh?

I assume this will be retrospectively applied to all "real Brits"... with those who fail to meet the required level told to leave?

Those interested, you can read the interview here: www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

I was very happy to read he attracts bigger audiences now than Joe Rogan!! (-:

‘We’re fighting for you!’ Podcaster Ben Meiselas on taking on the Maga media – and winning the ratings battle

His channel, MeidasTouch, puts out 15 videos a day exposing Republican failings – and it is getting bigger audiences than Joe Rogan’s. Is this the champion the American left has been waiting for?

It's just about thee only thing I listen to now. MSM is worthless and the RW propaganda stations literally lie straight to your face and expect you to believe it. Miedas Touch has saved my mental health. Highly recommended.

President Miller is running the country. Donald Trump is just a doddering old man following President Miller's orders.

Get "President Miller" trending and he will soon be gone just like when President Bannon started trending in 2017.

If I cringe any harder at the Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp's stand-up comedy routine, I may fold in on myself, collapsing into a PSR-J0952–0607-style neutron star of vicarious embarrassment. ~AA

For 87p on Kindle today you can buy a copy of the US constitution and see that Trump has, indeed,
read it, but only the first couple of pages as he appears to have adopted the then British King’s actions as a blueprint for himself and read no further.

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead.

This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

I don't think there's a commentator in America who's given less of an inch than @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com in his refusal to normalise Trump and his goons one scintilla throughout both terms.

Just fuck off with this. How about start the conversation by highlighting how much immigrants contribute to the UK - not least by propping up the NHS and social care system!

Also - forced volunteering is not volunteering, it's unpaid labour.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)
