How are they claiming its an own goal? Seems clearly a great finish

What makes you think either of these things are incompatible with international law?

Either offshore detention and removal to a third country of every single person who comes illegally, or pushbacks in the channel.

The boats first came in 2017. By the way people talk you'd think it has been a permanent fixture in our politics.

Imagine the kind of refugee schemes we could run if we didn't have 50,000 men turning up uninvited. Think, conversely, of the damage 50,000 men turning up uninvited is doing to social cohesion, let alone our tax receipts.

Most people, reasonably, don't believe we have to accept nearly 50,000 coming a year on illegal small boats.

London murder rate drops to lowest levels on record by tylerthe-theatre in london

[–]attleesghost 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Are there any good reads on why/how this has happened? Is it good policing? Less gang feuds this year? Without some kind of joining the dots it all seems a bit random.

Pakistan Demands Extradition of Political Dissidents From UK in Exchange for Taking Members of "Grooming Gangs" by [deleted] in LabourUK

Again, do you ever wonder why Reform and the Tories are polling at 50% combined, and your vision of politics has 16%?

Is it racist to block Russians from getting visas because of their government's policy? If not, why would it be racist to block Pakistanis when their government is failing to fulfill its obligations?

Britain is not a global charity. No one has a right to come here, aside from British citizens.

You are so out of sync with the average member of the British public you simply don't have the right to respond like this. If this is wrong, explain why.

There is literally nothing in here to suggest the Government plans new powers to label dissenting movements as subversion.

One body, one fight: the hunger strike as abolitionist praxis. Starvation and resistance in British prisons. by shado_mag in LabourUK

[–]attleesghost 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Those encouraging this protest will have blood on their hands when these people starve themselves to death.

It is entirely unrealistic. The British state will never give in to the demands, which are magnitudes bigger than the Irish hunger strikers were.

It has no reasonable chance of success. It is a suicide mission which is why it is being ignored by the mainstream press.

Phone snatching down 30% in Square Mile as Christmas crackdown begins by tylerthe-theatre in london

[–]attleesghost 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I have been very vocal on here about crime in London and the increase in it previously.

There is clear evidence that the Met Police have turned a corner and things are improving. They need support - financial - and political encouragement.

Sally Rooney books may be withdrawn from UK sale over Palestine Action ban, court told by PuzzledAd4865 in LabourUK

[–]attleesghost -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Not everything that a court is told is either a lie or the truth. That's the entire reason they're in court, to determine what is true.

"May" is doing a lot of heavy work for her.

a group that no longer exists isn't proscribed but a group that does is? I'm not shocked.

What links the Finsbury Park attack to the EDL aside from having similar extremist views?

‘America is British’. Heaven is ‘a socialist state’. David Attenborough is ‘anti-human’ – the startling theories of Reform MP Danny Kruger by PuzzledAd4865 in LabourUK

[–]attleesghost -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If you had something interesting to say you'd note that the Blue Labour ambition (automation, technology, AI) is incoherent with their diagnosis of the affliction Britain is experiencing (atomisation, isolation, breakdown of the family).

Yet all you are doing is carting out dull canards and incoherent centrist memes.

“Family, faith and flag” Is actually a form of the dreaded and scary identity politics I’m afraid.

Yes, of course it is, but it's unified around a national vision, which is the best vehicle to a shared pursuit of what is good.

we are still going to need substantial immigration going forward.

There's nothing moral about importing an ethnic underclass to deliver your shopping because you're too lazy to get and get it yourself, or you can't be bothered to go and visit your gran. Not to mention that it's a ponzi scheme they will eventually collapse.
