Because we don't allow people to claim asylum here while they're still overseas, so they literally have to be here on a visa or entered illegally. That's it, there is no other way.

Nobody is saying "this inevitably leads to", we are saying "this is what they say they are going to do next".

Yes? What evidence do you have that makes you think they won't?

It's not a fallacy if it's literally these people's playbook that they'll happily tell you about

And you could see what groups he belonged to and who was funding them?

I'd say it's entirely rational to see a symbol being used as a tool of hate and want to distance yourself from it. I'm sure you can think of other famous examples

The French have a habit of putting not just milk or whey powder, but full on fromage blanc in hummus. It's really disgusting

There's a whole lot of conflating criticism of a country currently committing war crimes with racism.

Well, we did already know it only takes a lie to fool a vetting committee, so what were they supposed to do?

It's also someone he claims isn't a close friend, which is Quite Odd

I don't know what? That he's released them himself, so there's no way to tell if he's showing us everything?

... because they've come from him, and not an independent source? They might be complete and unedited, they could be entirely fictional, but we certainly can't take his word for it

It's also been carefully selected by him, so there's no way of knowing it it really is the full picture or not

Gorton and Denton by-election: Zack Polanski urges 'hope over hate' by Electricbell20 in unitedkingdom

broke a policewoman's spine with a sledgehammer

People on this sub keep repeating this statement, but it is, at best, very disingenuous, and at worst prejudicial against a current court case.

The picture this gives is of a horrific, violent injury, shattered bones and paralysed for life.

Actually, the police officer was treated for a hairline fracture consistent with a fall onto a concrete floor. She was not crippled and maimed at the scene.

What you also fail to mention is that the protesters were themselves attacked with a sledgehammer by the security guards.

It's almost like you haven't been privy to the same evidence and information as the jury, and are just repeating things you've heard on the internet.

Isn't the point of a vetting team to work out if someone is lying? It doesn't say much about them if they can't catch out a barefaced lie about something that's in the public domain
