Tory MP and "rising star" Katie Lam supports the mass deportation of families who came to the UK legally — a policy so unprecedented it has been compared with Idi Amin's expulsion of Asians.
But did you know Lam has drawn sartorial, as well as policy, inspiration from the brutal Ugandan dictator?

Men in balaclavas set fire to a mosque in East Sussex last night. It's only appearing on the BBC's local coverage, rather than its main national headlines, despite coming just a week after the (also under-reported) firebombing of an asylum hotel in London last week

For my entire life the political discourse has been dominated by two things:
1) people saying that immigration is a forbidden topic
2) the exact same people talking about immigration all the fucking time without ever once stopping

Comparing two cases, one in N. Ireland one in England.
A UVF (proscribed terror group in NI) gun runner caught with pistols, magazines & 200+ rounds of ammunition in 2022. He wasn't charged under terror offences and was given half the minumum sentence of 5 years for the guns charges. [1/n]

You know, if I were, say, an ambitious Labour Culture Sec minister I'd be reading the riot act that certain news orgs have been soft soaping Tommeh supporters and haven't prominently reported any of the racist abuse I've seen documented.
Quite. So many Labour people on this website visibly have no idea of just how bad things have got for ethnic minorities since they came on, and how their visible indifference lands.
Also frankly I am quite desperate! A party that’s at best ambivalent on the question of whether I’m English and wants to deport my friends is 9 points ahead in the polls and the current leader is floundering and visibly out of his depth!

What on Earth is this? An "in depth" BBC article about free speech in the UK that only cites examples of right-wing/ 'anti-woke' speech being suppressed. How can you mention Lucy Connolly but completely ignore Palestine Action / Just Stop Oil? Gob-smacking. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It's been at the back of my mind for a few days, so I'll just put it there and then go back to nicer thoughts, and posts. There is no need to talk about a Reichstag-like false flag . As I see it, Kirk is to MAGA what murdered S.A. Horst Wessel, turned into a "martyr" by Goebbels, was to the Nazis.

Just for perspective, a few weeks ago roughly 100,000 turned up for the London Trans+ Pride march. By contrast fewer than 3,000 ACROSS THE WHOLE COUNTRY, have turned up to anti-asylum "protests". Yet we are meant to take the latter as "the voice of the people" and the former as "the minority".

A verdict was said to be coming "next month" - in February.

If you read down this Mail article long enough, you get to this grudging admission:
"76% of pupils at Kobi Nazrul are meeting 'expected standards' in reading, writing and maths.
That compares with a local average of 71 per cent and an average of 61 per cent in England."
