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

Notice how nobody is puking blood with pure blinding white hatred this time? Nobody issuing fiery denunciations, cutting up their cards, roaring abuse, none of that shit. Just a load of people sadly huffing and saying, Well, I guess we will just have to descend into fascism then, nothing to be done.

I am amazed at how such tiny cliques of weirdos seem to be able to have such influence.

That’s very interesting. Why was McSweeney the one to do that? How did he even get to be a major player?

Not surprised but extremely disappointed to hear that.

I still cannot get my head round why McSweeney is there and why he has ever been taken seriously. Any insights would
be appreciated.

Does this claim stand for all potential
Leaders of the Labour Party? Are all its leaders in on this far right turn on immigration and asylum?

Far right activists love explaining how they are not racist and they are seeking to protect everyone from ‘illegals’. They are often paid handsomely for their political activity. I am sure they can justify whatever they do, to whoever meekly listens, whilst laughing all the way to the bank.

Same here. Thank you for putting this into words so calmly and succinctly. I really couldn’t.
