the thing that always gets me about this story is: it’s the early 80s. What kind of prep and commitment do you need to put in to be able to sing Hitler Youth songs? How would you go about it?

This is the cycle that fuels populist. It perpetuate policy failure while encouraging a narrative of scapegoating. The prime minister came to power promising to address it. Instead he now supports it.

@teamlabouruk.bsky.social has got itself into a proper mess with this. Another screeching u turn in the making.
Labour's Stella Creasy asks Shabana Mahmood if she will "incarcerate children with their families as part of enforced return, or whether she intends to separate children from their mums and dads"?
Mahmood says she won't separate children, but doesn't say if they will be incarcerated

One of the most shameful incidents of WW2 was when the government and press scapegoated refugees, then decided to pack them off an a cramped ship, The HMT DUNERA and ship them to Australia.
As they boarded the boat they were stripped of the valuables and robbed by the guards.

Blue Labour’s takeover of the party has made it into a cruel, racist horrorshow.
Starmer, Mahmood and the rest must go now before Labour become completely unelectable.

Asked a question by Kuenssberg about whether her proposals on refugees would mean refugee families being broken up, Shabana Mahmood immediately started talking about illegal migration. Eventually, she’s admitted that yes, Labour’s policy will break up settled families. Vile.

Super weird decision. It’s not just that “some people feel unsafe” in a vague sense. The convention center is government owned, so trans people could be arrested for using the bathroom. So of course they don’t attend, and important technical meetings don’t happen.
I’m disappointed the CNCF keeps picking deep red states for #KubeCon. It’s unsafe for so many community members. Why not Canada or Mexico?

English councils are planning to sell social clubs, sports centres and shopping arcades as they bet on a fire sale of assets to balance the books, according to a survey of local authorities.
The key cities group of councils, which represents second-tier cities in England, said 60% of councils were planning to sell assets to meet the escalating costs of adult and children’s social care. Continue reading...

Performing desirable behaviour and "virtue signalling" is also absolutely core to human society.
It's why we tell kids that stealing is wrong, rather than just that it's illegal and punishable by law.
Living in a place where people only treat each other well when forced to by rules would be AWFUL.

Performative decency is actually *so* important for this reason.
It tricks the 10% of ghouls into thinking that there are only 1% of ghouls.
And it makes the 30% of people that don't care one way or another follow the mostly decent crowd

I don’t think it’s inappropriate to have some news stories about migration issues but it is very odd indeed for BBC 6 Music, a station essentially targeted at hipster leftie middle-aged people, to be majoring on asylum seeker stories as much as it does.
*Again* the top story on BBC 6 music is about immigration
How is Shabana Mahmood wanting to introduce a ‘Danish style’ system for refugees the top story this morning?!?
The obsession of 6 Music news on immigration and asylum is frankly bizarre
