Yup, lots of people here think their lives are rubbish because of foreigners.

They're not correct, but that's what they think.

I don't think mass production is really viable in the UK any more unless workers are prepared to work for £1/hr.

But we've also lost so, so many people (retirement) who can make and design tools, prototypes etc. The last cohort of these is nearly finished retiring. When they go, it's finished.

Oh can the Israelis STFU with this nonsense now. We all know they just want to kill all the Palestinians and take their land.

And in 5 years time I could be a billionaire.
Neither is very likely though, is it?

Well, I'm not sure how that would 'unite the kingdom'. Maybe this guy thinks these are legitimately concerns.

Or maybe he's an absolute crazy.

Cool, so Labour now just do whatever Reform and the Tories say they're going to do.

All that waffle from Starmer about not all politicians are the same is looking, erm, ironic.

I guess that Rayner was a 'left' influence on Downing St? If so, Starmer & McSweeney might choose to replace her with someone more of their mindset i.e. austerity and more Tory policies.

I want Keir Starmer to lead - to call out racism, not mutter about bunting.

To offer real refugee policy, not parrot Farage.

To show Britain is better than this.

Instead we’re cowering. We must do better. They must do better.

His "country of strangers" speech was dismissed as an unfortunate mistake.

They can't try the same back-pedal this time.

I've just realised that Derek Gow was one of the nice accounts I left behind when I deleted Twitter. Does he post on any other platforms?

All the protesters that are being arrested aren't being charged - just let go. It's wasting massive amounts of police time. But Yvette Cooper gets to go on telly and say her usual word salad

There's going to be a shedload of compensation payments for wrongful arrests when this 'law' gets repealed. Good.

If you need a plot 20% wider, they charge you 20% more. Seems perfectly reasonable to me.

Cemeteries don't have infinite space, so this makes sense.

Well, we could stop our spy-plane flights over Gaza and giving the info to Israel. But maybe that's me being naïve?

Answer: Israel prevented all food entering Gaza. They even persuaded Egypt not to let any through their border with Gaza.

There you go, a 2 sentence explanation.
