Your regular reminder that Reform UK's "Family, Community, Country" is reminiscent of "Travail, Famille, Patrie", the motto of Vichy France during WW2.

Nigel Farage and the Reform Party UK aren't exactly dispelling the suspicion that Farage is a far right sympathiser with this signed black football shirt, with an arrow pointing to the number 18 and a motto reminiscent of Vichy France.

It remains baffling why this is not bigger news.
Still waiting for a reaction by UK politicians and the media to Elon Musk's call for 'the English to ally with the hard men, like Tommy Robinson, and fight for their survival or they shall surely all die' and his claim that 'civil war is inevitable'.

Why does the UK government still use Twitter/X?

"How do the people who oppose face masks, lockdowns and vaccines and cut funding for research, education and the NHS really think we will fight the next pandemic?"

Shabana Mahmood said this month that her migration policies are a "moral mission".

Where is the morality in blocking an eight-year-old girl made destitute by a Hurricane from coming to the UK to join her parents?

This is how the Mail has covered a 70% fall in net migration.

The Government should stop kidding itself it will ever get credit for being anti-migration. They could cut numbers to zero and there would still be front pages blasting them for making the UK a socialist wasteland no one wants to come to

This is unhinged, unadulterated white nationalism that is so off-the-charts fascist not even David Duke would have said that in public.
Trump: “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries … denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.“

‘Speaking outside his chateau in France, former Brexit Party and UKIP MEP Coburn answered "no" when a BBC journalist asked him whether he had ever been paid to give a speech to promote pro-Russian campaigners.’

Great work from @BBCWales. Keep going

Net migration has fallen again to 204,000, the lowest level since 2021 and is forecast to continue falling over the coming years.

Not that you would know it from the endless coverage of Britain's supposed "immigration crisis"

Most of the public think net migration increased last year, when in fact numbers halved.

New findings from the Ipsos/British Future Immigration Attitudes Tracker show that 56% of the public thinks immigration increased last year. Just 1 in 6 realise it was down

‘cowboys who tamed the West’

A reminder that the West wasn't exactly 'tamed' but brutally colonised through military campaigns, broken treaties and forced removals.

Diseases such as smallpox and measles together with profound ecological disruption finished the job.
