Imagine how dishonest & biased you'd have to be to go on national radio and present a crime report from a secretly funded, right wing, lobby group like Policy Exchange, as if it was the unalloyed truth.

A serene view of a calm lake surrounded by lush green trees under a clear blue sky. The branches of the trees in the foreground frame the peaceful scene, and the surrounding greenery is perfectly reflected in the still water. The image evokes a sense of tranquility and natural beauty.

Yup. As I am constantly saying.
People say they want far less immigration when polled because they have been led to believe that immigration is primarily a small boats phenomemon.
I try to push back but jesus, they're funded by fucking billionaires.
In Nick Timothy's case, easy to make another comparison. Paula Vennells had her reputation destroyed, her CBE revoked and stepped down as an Anglican priest following the PO scandal. Nick Timothy, senior advisor at the Home Office during the Windrush scandal, is a Tory MP and has a Telegraph column.

The image captures a panoramic view of a New Jersey skyline across a body of water, the Hudson River, with a prominent foreground of dark, rippling water. The skyline features a cluster of modern skyscrapers, including one particularly tall building and others in various stages of construction, suggesting urban development. On the far left, a distinct, lower silhouette of Ellis Island Museum with a structure resembling a fort or historical building is visible in the distance. The sky above is a mix of clear blue and scattered clouds, with hints of warm light, suggesting near sunset. A solitary bird is captured in flight over the water in the lower left portion of the image.

I didn't know the tidal River Hudson is actually an estuary, every day's a school day.

'universities will receive penalties if more than 5 per cent of their international students do not start their studies, or if more than 10 per cent do not finish them.'
What could possibly go wrong with requiring a completion rate of 90%, especially in the age of generative AI, she wondered idly.

Been a lone voice for weeks, saying that RefUK have not maintained momentum. Been bobbing around 29-30% despite LUDICROUS media help.
They're now going backwards (-2pts on latest YouGov poll, compared to a week ago). And I bet, once JC's party is in the mix, they will lose another couple of points.

My strong view is that "those who wish to uphold the Jewish faith should simply leave Britain" and "those who wish to uphold the Muslim faith should simply leave Britain" are both prejudiced arguments. Does GB News believe that one or other of these are legitimate contribution to public discourse?
