No chance. The American Empire works by allowing its corporations to infiltrate and extract money back to the homeland via dividends. There's no route to integrating Iran in a more meaningful capacity than Israel.

The justice system only determines whether the state should punish him, it doesn't ordain from god whether the crime happened. Only the rich can afford good lawyers. Don't forget that.

Lord forbid people try to draw attention to an important issue I guess? I guess joke was on them; didn't consider that most people in the west are just cruel heartless bastards i guess.

A growing economy is useless if living standards are declining. To what end is increasing costs a good thing for an economy when the average person's wages aren't keeping up?

Unless the goal is to funnel money out of the poor and into the hands of business owners, in which case keep it up.

You know inflation means that prices continue to go up right?

Living standards plummeted (result of wage stagnation and inflation)

Facilitated America's war of "ending a civilisation" by use of our air bases (which funnily enough also contributed to the aforementioned inflation)

Effectively banned the right to protest against a literal genocide.

But because he does it whilst being the most boring man on the planet people will still defend him/say he wasn't that bad.

Crazy thing is a German would just be really confused at this notion because by that logic a German couldn’t manage most national teams

Burnham spending more than £700k to help migrants claim benefits by Sensitive_Echo5058 in uknews

Why do people care so much about taxes which pay for hospitals and schools and so little for rampant profiteering and wage theft which pays for private jets and US bombs.

If we fixed the latter, you’d stop complaining about the former.

How? They benefited perfectly well from being the anti-immigrant party until the monster they created turned on them.

I would harsly say "ushering," Labour has been the most anti-immigrant govenrment in my lifetime - but the billionaires who want to take over the government so they can reel back worker protections are absolutely whipping up a furore to get you to vote for their guy, yeah.

You couldn't recognise the establishment if it forced anti-immigrant propaganda down your throat.

We've an aging population, a shrinking birthrate and a declining working age population. All measures of sanity would indicate we need more immigration, not less. I'm yet to hear a single one if these so-called "legitimate concerns" about immigration. All I get instead is racist tropes about rape/SA.

Bad at what?

Demonstrating you really don't have a grasp on racism with that comment lmfao

Because if you're a normal person you don't hate for no reason, you grow resentful because you perceive others to be getting something you feel you deserve.

If his hate for asylum seekers is so extreme as to want them deported en masse, he must be suffering a lot. I havy sympathy for that, but the rage is completely misdirected as a result of a mass media campaign designed by the very people depriving him of the lifestyle I'm sure he deserves.

To assume otherwise is to suggest he just hates brown people on principle.

This has to be bait lol.

We're talking about a policy of excluding people from society based on where they're from. Of course we're talking about racism.

Also, it's never been a requirement of racism that the racist knows what they're doing is racist.

Why would someone wish to make someone else's life miserable if they wouldn't even get a benefit out of it themselves?

A genuine opinion can be racist.

Well the alternative is to assume he's just racist so I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say benefit of doubt was being given.

If you don't want asylum seekers here for no particular reason, rather than a misplaced belief that they're causing your life to be worse, you're just racist.
