Seriously, this kind of front page shows how futile it is is to try and appease by being “tough”. The goal posts simply shift and the dehumanisation accelerates.

Silly me, I forgot!

For the people shouting at me about Biden: I am talking about the UK, where I live! And I’m talking specifically about the asylum proposals which the Home Secretary trailed saying “if you don’t like this, you wont like what comes after me” and which have been cheered by Tommy Robinson.

I live in the U.K. and I’m talking about the Labour government’s recent asylum proposals.

These people are incompetent, scared of the tasks before them, adrift from any real values or vision, and cosseting themselves in sad fantasies of populism and authoritarian power. Even as its clear these are a wretched offer to the public and loser electoral propositions in the US.
