Capitalists will simply do anything but accept that immigration is a solution

If you want more young people to live in your country to pay for your older people then you simply need to make it an attractive place to immigrate to.

It would be both entirely valid and drive Trump into a tailspin if the award went to Greta Thunberg for willingly putting her life on the line to personally seek to alleviate suffering in Gaza.

Of all the Western leaders the only one who seems even on the field is Pedro Sanchez.

Someone could write an entire column on how multiculturalism has failed and the two cultures that have been allowed to coexist, and should be now divorced, are the tolerant Scottish society and the hatred of Stephen Daisley in particular.

"While Britain was redefining what a woman is, China was building five nuclear reactors," says Kemi Badenoch.

I cannot be the only person curious about how these two things are related

He is an online far right extremist

Britain would be a measurably better place with the deportation of Stephen Daisley.

This is bigotry taken all the way to fascist ideology.

Nasty, hateful, ignorant, and racist.

Just as we are beginning to understand the biochemical basis of this horrendous condition, the government appoints the man perhaps most responsible for the mischaracterisation of ME/CFS – Simon Wesseley - to its *overdiagnosis* commission. www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/news/controv...

Because of the unforgivably appalling decisions of the Charity Commission, these hate groups, Sex Matters and LGB Alliance, are funded from your taxes.

One of the most heartwarming things at the beginning of 2022 was actually seeing reports of North American indigenous peoples fundraising for Ukraine and when they were asked why they're doing this they basically said "because we know what it's like to be invaded by people who just want your land"

This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

Maybe they wouldn't be "rip-off" degrees if they had costs closer to those of our European neighbours rather than those of the USA.

My lord, you've upset the priesthood

As the End Conversion Practices consultation responses are published today we are glad to see a Scottish Government response that recommits to a comprehensive and inclusive ban on conversion practices delivered to parliament by 2027.

Of course this all might be down to this just being what conservatism looks like - it's overwhelmingly an ideology inflicted on society by the wealthy.

But reliance on a myth of the present to try and dispel myths of the past means I just don't think this article makes its case.

(Even though he's entirely correct that it was the particulars of German extreme decline and the WW1 loss that created the conditions for Nazism that the USA lacks)

Bayliss seems to rely on the same myth of the Democratic opposition to Trump being liberal wealthy intellectuals that the MAGA movement paint their opposition as - but it isn't the reality.

The reality lies far closer to the picture he paints of 1930s Germany.

The "the small town bourgeoisie in protestant areas" and veterans is the Republican base.

It is not just immigrants that Trump has targeted but instead anyone who is the target of MAGA racism, people disappeared, shipped to facilities across the US, all within his first year of power.

I'm not sure this makes the case it thinks it does - because it relies on myths of what the present moment in the US especially looks like:

The average Trump voter isn't working class, they're wealthier than Democrats. The "bourgeois", are, in greater numbers, Republicans.

“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”

“Because that’s what they are”
