A new report indicates that zero net migration would shrink the UK economy by 3.6% and likely force an increase in taxes, as well as being cruel, inhuman and impractical.
Migration is good for our country. Inequality is the problem. Tax the super-rich.

The second essay from the Birmingham Dispatch on the post-war rise in UK fascism, up to the knuckle-dragging morons of today. Well worth a read and a follow: @birminghamdispatch.bsky.social
Colin Jordan was a post-war fascist from Smethwick, who was obsessed with mysticism and bizarre rituals.
When he married Françoise Dior - the fashion designer's niece - the couple cut their ring fingers letting the blood mingle as it dripped onto a copy of Mein Kampf.
