The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions.
It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.
Well done to the US for heroically deterring Russia and China from considering regime change abroad by doing it themselves and suffering absolutely no consequences whatsoever up to and including having their allies fall short of actually criticizing them for it.
Paragraphs like these reflect a frankly evil political outlook on Britishness, citizenship, and national identity, and I find it chilling that they now just casually appear in supposedly mainstream conservative publications
Have to say I find the proposals to take away the route to permanent settlement of refugees both shocking and repulsive. It's code for 'whatever you do and contribute you can never become one of us so we won't allow you to try.' Racism, pure and simple.
Rendezvous on the Beach, by Edvard Munch, 1896
Tech Overlords: You can't abuse an AI for being a robot because that's racism, which we otherwise support.
These are some of the most extreme restrictions on immigration in years. We're told to see them as benign because they're less bad than Farage's far-right extremism. But they are still terrible.
Pretty disgraceful for Mason to call Davey’s criticism Trumpian given his disastrous coverage of the Reform conference among other things. Maybe do your job better instead of shooting the messenger?
Arresting 400+ people for the "terrorist" offence of protesting against mass murder while large segments of the right are openly encouraging riots against immigrants is a tale of a very unhappy country and government.

AND bear in mind the Lab govt itself says that the dataset getting out there wasn't as dangerous as the Tory govt initially said.
My belief is that over the long term that this was at least as much about ministers' and officials' embarrassment as about protecting any risk to life.
This is a perfectly sensible and proper view.
The problem appears to be that this commendable view was also used to justify things not being disclosed which should and could have been at the time.
Difficult to express how I feel about those in our politics and media who are more concerned about what some rapper said at Glastonbury than fact that, as a matter of deliberate policy, the Israeli government is paying mercenaries to murder starving civilians for fun.

Then, they can use those tax savings on their tips to pay their medical bills. Checkmate, libs.
I cannot emphasize enough how needlessly cruel the UK immigration system is to ordinary people who want a family life together and aren't well-off already, and anyone wanting to make it worse should be shunned.
Police departments have exponentially more control over how officers are recruited, trained, and overseen than a protest does over its participants, but are allowed by a sympathetic press to use the "bad apples" defense to separate deeds from goals and institutions in a way protestors often aren't.
Walz announces that Rep. Melissa Hortman is dead as a result of a "politically motivated assassination"
My fantasy team certainly does too

So much to do! But how to find the time around my doomscrolling commitments?
Whatever Times columnists might tell you, it was never about sports. It’s about elimination.
The nice broad political spectrum of "Pro-Democrat to Anti-Republican
Das ist keine "umstrittene Wahlkampfaktion", das ist Einschüchterung und Terror. Mag sich jemand in der Redaktion beim SWR mal vorstellen, was das mit den Menschen macht, die Ziel dieses völkischen Furors sind?
Und was muss noch passieren, ehe man diese Rassisten stoppt?
a fun satire someone who's not me should write is a modern day tech-based Goodbye Lenin, where a group of cool devs manage to make everyone move to mirror copies of popular social media sites, while somehow making their Silicon Valley overlords believe that nothing has changed for their companies
