In the 1930s the Daily Mail supported Oswald Mosley and the Nazis and now it supports Farage. 😡 They and he are hateful.

Yes. Thankfully not all men but definitely some. Of all nationalities and races including white.

If only Labour stood up& talked about the real dangers that women face.
Because I'm sorry the problem isn't immigrants or asylum seekers it's men that are responsible for the death of women,the rape,the violent/sexual assault,of women that is the reality!
Farage is besties with one remember!

Two posts neatly summing up the threat towards women by men the far right & media only want to focus on the male perpetrators who are not white. They forget it's men,poor/rich fat/thin are the common denominator in death of women.
They don't care about women at all.

Never forget that Farage was instrumental in causing #Brexit
The level of immigration we now have is as a direct result of Brexit
DO.NOT allow the grifting SoB to hoodwink you.
Leaving the ECHR is about removing your rights

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage calls Britain to quit ECHR

The Reform UK leader told the Daily Mail that Britain's membership of the treaty had 'totally neutered' the Government's ability to deport illegal migrants.

Yes. And apart from anything else Matt Goodwin is just not likeable. Something he shares with Reform party leadership. Their poll rating baffles me.

Compare Matt Goodwin's introduction with Faiza Shaheen's introduction #BBCQT

Chat GPT says: "The framing favors MG because it makes him sound more neutral or credible (academic + media presence) while making FS sound more partisan or controversial"

"Do white British people not also commit these violent crimes? Is your narrative not that these crimes are only committed by asylum seekers and refugees"

Just beads in a glass jar: this is how the Tories dehumanise migrants and those in need | Frances Ryan

The Conservatives, like Reform, are rooting their immigration policy in the language of welfare dependency. It’s deeply harmful, says Guardian columnist Frances Ryan

Be careful if building a bonfire this Halloween and Bonfire Night. Hedgehogs love to hibernate in piles of sticks and branches – so build a bonfire on the same day you plan to burn it, and check it carefully for hiding wildlife.

3 things Starmer could do instead of camps in old barracks that would actually WORK👇

1. Create safe, regulated routes to apply for asylum in the UK

2. Let asylum seekers WORK & support themselves

3. Fast track status for people from obviously unsafe countries

Keir Starmer tries to look tough - and exposes himself as a coward

The government's immigration policy is in desperate need of a bold change in direction.

Don't be fooled, Tommy Robinson and Elon Musk are playing you

The message the hate engine transmits is simple: asylum seekers are not really people in need

What’s with all the folks online tearing down other people’s stack? I’ve read many a post in the past few weeks where people have been complaining about WordPress.
