So they arrested 171 deliveroo drivers, because the newspapers have decided that they are all illegal immigrants, but only 60 of them were actually here illegally... so what was the criteria for arresting them?
Because that's a very low hit rate.
This was just small scale ICE shit?

All of this is fascism. And not early stage either. This is the embedding of the Right Wing Daily Mail press consensus as the absolutely unshakable common sense of the UK state. Made possible because the "left wing" party has abdicated any kind of moral position on it.

It says a lot that This lady was cited in the manifesto of Anders Breivik and she is still invited to be on TV over 15 years later
Everyone involved knows Mel is a virulently racist fascist lunatic with horrendous views on the use of massive, murderous violence against civilians. But there she still is on Sky News, because her crackpottery is well within acceptable opinion, for our political/media class.

Again, notice how much worse this is than Trump’s America. There is meaningful resistance to this bullshit across the Atlantic. There is no elite resistance to it at all here, because these people have driven themselves insane and stomped all over anyone who objected to their horrific behaviour.

Could not be clearer the real, fast approaching political divide is going to be between closed societies retreating into tech-sponsored fascism and those attempting to remain open, and while it's clear this country is already on the path to the former, I doubt the EU can hold back the tide either
US government adopted the far-right Great Replacement myth and is now demanding NATO countries to dismantle the EU and the European project. They themselves frame it as a binary choice. Essentially the end of NATO as we know it.

Worth noting the role of NewsCorp. Murdoch wants this social media ban for young people. That alone should give you pause for thought.
How Australia became the testing ground for a social media ban for young people
How Australia became the testing ground for a social media ban for young people
From nascent policy idea in one state to passing federal parliament in just days, it’s been a whirlwind journey for the world-first legislation that will take effect from 10 December
In late 2023, the South Australian premier’s wife put down a book she had been reading. It was Jonathan Haidt’s The Anxious Generation.
“[She] said to me you better bloody do something about this ... and then we got to work,” Peter Malinauskas later recalled in an ABC interview. Continue reading...

You might think that the "Labour" Party would consider labour itself to be a contribution to society, alas no, only "having lots of money" is a real contribution.
Perhaps they need to change their name to the Capital Party?

"He wanted the deportations of people born in Britain to be “as voluntary as possible”. So not "voluntary" then.
Labour and Reform are essentially aligned on anti-immigration. The only difference being that Labour claims its xenophobic cruelty is "progressive".

And also, life is not supposed to be *permanently* stressful. We're adapted to short periods of stress. If you maintain that kind of thing for weeks, let alone months or years, with no respite or hope, that's putting people into PTSD territory.
Right, but is it that we’re “forgotten life can be stressful” or is it that neoliberal capitalism doesn’t allow us to have natural, normal reactions to stress, so we seek treatment? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
'Life being stressful is not an illness' - GPs on mental health over-diagnosis
Hundreds of GPs in England tell the BBC they are also worried about a lack of help for patients.

Is this the same Kuenssberg that went so hard on Labour’s antisemitism crisis now ignoring the accusations about Farage? I’m so shocked!
Not a peep on Kuenssberg's show.
The Farage story seems like it's been wiped in time for the Sunday news round.
No mention of it on @lbc.co.uk at least.
No politicians (I'm aware of) have chimed in throughout the whole thing either.
VERY curious.

I don’t consider it a trope to point out the Board of Deputies and other centrist and right-wing British Jewish elites don’t seem especially interested in combatting antisemitism qua antisemitism, but are extremely interested in conflating criticism of the state of Israel with antisemitism per se

I remember this especially because it’s the last time the question was “should we change the country from this obviously cruel and stupid bullshit”, and after this it was relentless idiotic no content drivel that nobody could argue against, because that’s how they win. It’s how they’ve always won.
Sitting at the pub at Waverley Station takes me back to Christmas 2018 here with JK Rowling complaining Old Jezza’s Labour were rubbish. To which I recall saying: it’s not that I think they’re gifted or even mildly skilled, it’s that they’re the only people offering anything I actually want.

Every interview with a right-wing politician is like: "Mr. Hitler is adamant: If we sacrifice enough children, Santa Claus will come back and deliver 5% GDP growth. But I have to ask him: Do you ever worry that your relentless advocacy for working folks offends the rootless cosmopolitan parasites?"
I don’t get how Jenrick can actually believe that we should shrink the population and then start making more of our own things from pots and pans to what iPhones? How does he think that happens?
