This is all very well evidenced and not subject to plausible deniability

UK politics live – latest updates
Nigel Farage has denied saying anything racist “with malice” in his latest attempt to address allegations of abuse made by numerous of his contemporaries at school.
The Reform leader declined to call his accusers liars, but lost his cool as he turned his fire on the BBC for questioning him about alleged antisemitic comments. Continue reading...

Like, I'm sorry the fascists are giving you difficult choices. But that's what fascists fucking do. The only legit answer is "fuck you make me". The only answer that shows you have actual fucking principles not preferences is "fuck you make me". And that sucks. But here we are.

too true, and the VG+ in particular is sending me
Just spotted someone sharing this AI image on Twitter to bait the "WE WANT ARE COUNTRY BACK" brigade, but the first thing which crossed my mind is I know a fair few guys who would part with an extraordinary amount of money for a VG+ copy of a Christmas dub album with this cover

The appeals backlog has increased significantly, partly because there was no plan in place for dealing with an inevitable consequence of reducing the initial decision backlog. But the quality of asylum decision making has, by the Home Office's own metrics, drastically declined.

This is correct re: Rwanda, but also fuck off with 'contribute to their communities'. The fundamental right to asylum and protection is what's at stake, not whether someone goes on a beach clean-up in their local area (for pure example's sake).
The Government inherited an asylum system in meltdown, and had managed to at least get cases being processed again while ending the madness of the Rwanda plan. But the policies being announced today undermine all of that, making it harder for refugees to integrate and contribute to their communities

this whole paragraph is an exercise in the pose of knowingness, and illustration of how making being "more reasonable than the extremists" the whole core of your intellect leads inexorably to believing in nothing at all
This paragraph especially!
If I understand him right, he's saying "moral clarity it good" and the right has been utterly immoral so it might sound weird to criticize moral clarity. HOWEVER, because the left is bad [unspecified reasons], "moral clarity is an obstacle to insight." ???
