Interesting thread.. Guy who looks like Ray Reardon in the pin-stripe suit is saying.. "Oh God ! Here comes Derek from Accounts.. Let's cross over."

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

The Express is furious about this because the moment you show those who repeat anti-immigration rhetoric the real human stories their narrative collapses.
The “immigrants” are people. Our friends, colleagues and family.
And it’s this nation of neighbours that is what makes Britain great.

I guess a few of you will remember when the streaker craze started. There was even a lad at my senior school who was, in dear ol' John Arlott's mind, a "freaker" (from my book, Made in Luton).

The 50 wealthiest families own more wealth than the bottom 50% of the population.
How can this Labour Government say this is a "cost of living" budget and refuse to tax the rich?
They care about protecting power and wealth. And cost of living is a buzz phrase for them. Dire.
