Shabana Mahmood swears at ‘white liberal’ hecklers over Reform remarks Home secretary accuses protesters of trying to ‘delegitimise’ concerns people have over immigration

For the Labour government, if you're not an old white man convinced fascism is the only way forward, you are not part of "the people"

You are part of naive youth, the woke identity politics minorities, white liberals etc but you are not "the people" and it doesn't matter if you're the vast majority

Sorry for your loss

The *top two* stories on the BBC site, plus a 3rd further down, are now about the claims of scammers which the BBC presents as evidence of the asylum process being “systematically exploited” - whilst also admitting they don’t know how widespread the issue is. Practically a Reform mouthpiece now.

BBC News is going very hard on its investigation into advisers who help people ‘fake’ asylum claims, focusing especially on people who falsely claim to be gay. But it doesn’t say what percentage of claims are made on the basis of sexuality. As of 2023 — the last available figures — it was 3%.

For almost a century generations of scholars and thinkers have tried to understand why the Germans sleepwalked into disaster. Future generations will focus on a different case.

Sorry for your loss. It is heartbreaking to lose a dear pet.

So explain this to me please..
How come Reform voters ‘have legitimate concerns’ and Green voters are just dismissed as gullible?

Tracking UK migration: Small boats, asylum hotels and visas Use our interactive tracker to explore the latest migration statistics for the UK

The risk here is that Labour latches onto these figures to claim that their policies are "working" without assessing the harm which the reduction in immigration causes not only individuals affected, but the country as a whole. 1/

The British Union of Fascists DID win multiple council seats. The Communists had more than 'a couple' of MPs. It takes less than a minute to check. Why wouldn't you?

Noticeable absence of asylum seekers, trans people and drag queens listed as child rapists in the files.

Is Wokeness Responsible for Fascism? A response to Thomas Edsall (and others who answer this question in the affirmative)

Thank you! I will have a read. It would be very interesting to see what pragmatic interests would cause conflict between AfD and Trumpist USA.

It will be interesting to see how far that anti-Americanism goes. As far as I know, the anti-Americanism of the European far right has been founded on antisemitism and the belief that the USA is too cosmopolitan and multiracial. If the USA is led by white supremacists, what then?

That's very interesting to hear. Their current political direction is so self destructive. It is like they are programmed to believe that betraying their voters is the only sensible political strategy.

Thank you for your reply. That is very interesting. I am struggling to comprehend the contemporary Labour Party.

On passing through the veil into fascism

I want to believe that she is better than this. I want to believe that current labour politicians will stop this fascist appeasing insanity... but.... it's hard to see it right now.

Yes, the solemnity of the clown emoji adds gravitas to the very serious points made by this highly conscientious political leader. Nothing hilarious here.

A million times this. It's sickening but not surprising to see that there will still be people taking time out of their day to ridicule Zack Polanski rather than acknowledge the possible need to resist the global fascist onslaught. Such information resistant smugness is morbidly fascinating.

Give them some credit, at least Starmer, Streeting and co. are getting lots of lovely dark money for their trouble.

It is time to name names and get serious The time for being nice is over: the rsponse to Trump must be robust now

By the way, hats off to the counter protesters. The way they took control of the rally site and peacefully removed the far-right activist with a history of extreme violence is commendable. This courage, organisation, and self-discipline is inspiring.

Man who wants to burn a Quran and lead a hate march to homes of Somalis, NYT describes as 'conservative influencer'? Is this an attempt at ironic humour or at normalising the far right? Hmmm.... let me think about that one.....

They've been flogging this line for years and now Labour is at 16% in the polls.

How much further do Labour have to sink before they start thinking that maybe it's just a bit more complicated than that?

Nigel Farage-Backed 'Raise the Colours' Campaign Pivots to Racially Abusing Migrants and Harassing Aid Workers on French Beaches Far-right activists were seen stabbing dinghies and releasing dogs to intimidate migrants and aid workers

Nigel Farage said that the 'Raise the Colours' campaign was a "grassroots movement driven by ordinary people”.

Kemi Badenoch said they should be "welcomed" as a symbol of "unity"

Now the campaign has pivoted to racially abusing migrants and intimidating charity workers on the beaches of France

The NSS is like a version of the Eisenhower Doctrine written by the KKK. A commitment to intervene aggressively abroad (especially in Europe) to uphold white supremacy and foreclose the emergence of multi-ethnic democracy. Its a declaration of political race war from a gang of white supremacists.

Anyone who’s ever actually spoken to a single asylum seeker about their experiences in any country in Europe simply could not honestly conclude that what would improve things would be to further reduce their human rights protections.

It’s vile scapegoating unworthy of us & it needs to end #r4today
