I am somewhat tired of being told how I should feel about stuff like flags and patriotism and people’s intentions by people who have neither experience of nor imagination about my lived experience.

34 people killed in 50 days. Their guilt or innocence unknown, for an alleged crime that doesn't carry a death sentence. That's a lot of death.

Polanski is a gifted communicator but he isn't being held to boring details like "how would you rejoin?" Which EU countries have you consulted? Which prior steps to prepare the UK for rejoining have you considered and planned for? etc

I went down her feed, saw the catalogue of pseudo-intellectual self-congratulatory bigotry then blocked her. Problem is, there’s a lot of this about.

I walked away after two replies. There’s no point wasting time on such a self-delusional being.

Trump has now murdered 34 people in international waters.

No one has any idea if any were criminals, and of course it doesn't matter, because it was a war crime to kill even a single one of them.

Drug trafficking is a felony, but it's not a violent crime and isn't punishable by summary execution.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says in a social media post the U.S. military conducted its eighth strike against an alleged drug vessel

What's grotesque is that Labour only hardened their condemnation when shamed into doing it.

This rhetoric affects real people. It's not a focus group issue; it required an immediate visceral response of condemnation.

Whatever the prevailing far-right supremacist political wind in Westminster and the fringes of the country, here in the cities of England we know who we are, there is a physical record of us here for decades, together side-by-side. British. Belonging.

In 1972, Idi Amin expelled Uganda’s Asian community in the name of culture.

In 2025, a British MP is using the same language to justify removing lawful residents.

Don’t say it can’t happen here.

"They Will Also Need to Go Home"

A sitting Conservative MP has introduced a bill that would make lawful residents deportable for earning under £38,700 - and Britain’s political class is barely blinking.

Senior Labour figures have expressed dismay at the Party's "cowardly" and "incompetent" response to Tory shadow minister Katie Lam calling for legal migrants to "go home".

"What’s the point of us saying we’re anti-racist when we fail to call out racism," said one MP.

I don’t usually feel the need to be with people. I do stuff in my local community and the charity branch I run if I can, and that seems enough for now.
