Congratulations to Labour who have won the coveted Tommy Robinson endorsement. Excited for sensibles to explain to me why I have to vote for the people enacting actual fascist policy.

There is no difference in practice between removing rights of individuals and leaving the ECHR. The end outcome is still the same, people lose rights. If human rights are an obstacle to your policy it is not the rights which are the issue, it is your policy. Labour going full Reform at this stage.

Vision can sound wanky, but it matters. Done well, it gives you a cross check for everything you do. It allows people to act with autonomy - and the wider world to plan around where you are headed.

Said this a lot before, but there is no politician conveying any sense of what they think the country should look in 2040 or 2050, so no sense they are taking steps to get there.
Good test of how UK politics at least is failing, there isn't a single frontline politician with a convincing big picture view of the country. Nostalgia, simplism, and warm words will have to do instead.

it's basically impossible to argue with this, they have won significant policy concessions, and there's no reason to think they'll stop pushing now that Labour have opened the door for them
They must be proud with this endorsement, they worked hard for it.

You cant parachute asylum seekers into deprived areas, in completely inappropriate housing, then say those migrants are 'dividing our country'. You divided the country because you can't organise a basic service and process claims in a timely way

Whatever happened to regular old war? The vile nation of Badistan has invaded the peaceful Republic of Goodistan, and Vaguely Benign Western Coalition has to stop them?
There's also one boss that is a giant version of one of your squadmates/imaginary friends that vomits red smoke at you and has you do MMO raid mechanics (like jumping to avoid getting hit by the shockwave when he slams the ground).

Shabana Mahmood on the BBC this morning talking about desperate people fleeing war and persecution as being given a "golden ticket" and "handouts" and saying she's got a "moral mission" to take them away from them

Shabana Mahmood and the Politics of Extortion
Labour's strategy of telling its supporters to back Reform-style policies, or get a Reform Government, is the politics of the protection racket and it is not going to work

Tommy Robinson is claiming credit for the language/policy being used by the Labour government (about deporting people found to be refugees once their home country is deemed safe)

#OTD in 1942 Morozov pushed back against requirements for a wider turret ring for the T-43, arguing that backwards compatibility with the T-34 was mandatory. A year later, the delay in widening the turret ring would spell death for the T-43 #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

I don't know if "look, these people have little fear of boats, possess an entrepreneurial spirit, and are willing to risk death rather than spend one more minute in France; clearly these are natural Britons returning to their spiritual home" would work as a line.

But I want someone to try it.

But your actual starting point has to be 'what is the measurable progress we can actually show' and/or 'can we change opinion on this?' not 'well, it sure would be useful if the boats can be stopped!'

There was unauthorised movement out of Nazi Germany by Jews, there is unauthorised movement out of North Korea, so there is always going to be some unauthorised movement - you can reduce it by increasing the risk of doing it (we've done this quite a bit - we stopped the lorries, hence the boats).

I'm not indifferent to the political problem here, but Labour, just as with the Conservatives, really seem to be confusing 'here's the political issue' with 'this creates an obligation on the universe to solve the problem for you in a way you'd like'.

The best way to understand what is actually “driving the small boats” is “if something carried a one in a 100 risk of death, would you do it it it gave you ten more years of healthy life?”
Shabana Mahmood tells Sunday Times it should take 20 years for somebody granted refugee status in UK to secure permanent status (ie, reapply 6 times) if came without permission.

Paper says Denmark has toughest settlement timeline (8 years) but UK govt wants longer

One thing that’s sort of weird is that there is an actual no-shit ground war in Europe with a relatively clear morally right side, a tiny nation fighting off an imperialist aggressor, but they keep the settings of these things stuck in ripped-from-the-headlines-of-2015-as-understood-by-subliterate

The unis he's thinking of *are* vocational colleges in practice. The reason they were granted formal university status in the 1990s was to improve the prestige and recognition of the qualifications they offered.

For all his claims of being a working-class whisperer, Glasman at core is just a snob.
it's fascinating to think what Blue Labour's ideal Britain looks like
