Wilfred refers back to the prewar refugees to UK and kindertransport and says, "Back then, it was different."

It wasn't. It was the very definition of a hostile environment for refugees.

The reason it was "kinder" transport was because hate was whipped up against adults fleeing Nazi Germany. 1/2

However bad you think this is from the graphic, the article is worse.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

To be clear, this is horrific. However, the subtitle of the article is "‘Why are they targeting a clarinetist?’" which does unfortunately make it sound like she'd think they were perfectly justified if they were going after the French horn players.

Sometimes fascists fight amongst themselves. This doesn't make the fascists on the losing side not fascists. Hope this helps.

You’d think Farage believes Brexit is the best thing to happen to Britain. But the Kremlin r🐀t’s Freudian slip showed his real preferences - the first country that came to his mind as benefiting from Brexit was Russia.

Not a labour fan here, they’ve done some good but also some terrible things.

You’ll have to ask them, not me?

You could have also had 5 more years of the tories or reform.

I got one, they didn’t give them out for anything other than the jubilee as a thank you.

It could have come in a cereal packet and had the same meaning and relevance.
Mine promptly got thrown in a drawer and forgotten about.

What a bell end that is.

So you've got a Canadian "journalist" covering the trial of an Irish citizen, who lives in Spain and whose costs are being covered by a South African born migrant living in the United States.

I sense a pardon on its way.

A tweet by Jacob Shamsian reads: “The Wall Street Journal reports that Ghislaine Maxwell had a meeting with an unknown person in her new prison camp, during which the entire prison was on lockdown. Inmates say she’s getting unusually favorable treatment by the prison.”

Putin with Syrian President:

Russia has never had any relations with Syria that were linked to our political situation or special interests…We have always been guided by one thing:the interests of the Syrian people

(How many Syrians did Russia kill "in the interests of the Syrian people"?)

He’s got more convictions than I’ve had hot dinners.

How the hell does he get to travel internationally with drugs and violence convictions when others can’t?
