I just want to set out where I am at, today.

Literate. Argued. Logical. Evidence-based. With passion. I delete when wrong.

EU federalist Brit, resident and At Home in 🇪🇸. Give me my fkn EU citizenship back!

I hate fascists, authoritarians, populists, far right, with a passion...

This is the thing which leaps out about these people - their solution to things they don't like about the UK is to *explicitly borrow* from the model that produces more of it, by design!

Nute @nutedawn.bsky.social · 2h

This piece literally refers to “British banlieus” though so he seems to believe France practices… the same integration policies as the UK?

If you want to read an actually good piece about integration in the United Kingdom, try @samfr.bsky.social:

The Truth About Integration

I have been challenged by readers to write something less depressing about the state of the country.

The invective that Daisley hurls at Muslims he would have hurled at my great-grandparents when they came here and indeed much of it is still true of the ethnic group he slobbers over. 'Aggressive integration policies' do not work in France and would diminish Jewish life here in the UK.

No, it's not. It's all a lie. The blunt truth is across the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them.

Iain Mansfield @igmansfield.bsky.social · 2h

Outstanding piece by Stephen Daisley.

Ethnicity is no barrier to Britishness - it's culture and integration.

That means 'smaller cohorts and aggressive integration policies' - and tackling the institutions that 'have amplified grievance narratives and radical anti-Western ideologies'.

This is probably one of the most important video's I will ever post.

Are we living in a Democracy?

The Labour Party, the Home Office and Keir Starmer have lost their idiotic zionist minds.

Arrested for holding the cover of a newspaper.

What is this country coming to.

"15 years ago, Polish workers came here to find opportunity. Now Poland is growing twice as fast as we are," says Kemi Badenoch.

Any ideas what may have happened in the interim?

Spot on from @stephenkb.bsky.social. And the other aspect of this nasty turn is the eliding of British ‘culture’ with ‘white British’, which will shock anyone who has watched TV or football, or listened to music, or read a book, or indeed breathed since 1980.

People, I present to you, the master race.

A tweet by user @Neccccy asks "Would you?" The tweet features a photo of a bus stop advertisement displaying the text: "If I could find a country that didn't take immigrants in I'd move there."

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

Laura Rodriguez, on Twitter:

A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them.

Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.

Whoops. Priti Patel. Sitting right there. Everyone else is mentioned, except her. Camera lingers. Priti trying to cover her seething - and failing. Is alienating your Shadown Foreign Sec wise, while knives are being sharpened?

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.
