Londonβs demographic change is unprecedented in peacetime
Most of the population has been replaced within a couple of generations
If the entirety of your op/ed compares demographic changes in London to the Khmer Rouge's mass murder of millions of people, you are willingly engaged in stochastic terrorism, and should be held responsible for any and all violent actions committed by fascists against non-white people

Anyone who can turn out at the New Bridge Hotel today to defend migrants ASAP it is needed. I hear the fascists are on the attack today! Help if you can!

Given itβs taking 7, 8 up to 23 years to make some determinations this actually had me laughing out loud in the absolute certainty this this is undeliverable on every level. Itβs a broken policy on inception. The bureaucracy alone is unworkable.

I for one am quite glad my family was not told to go back to Bialystok or Kyiv when they were "safe" in 1922.

I'm in Nairobi this week for the opening of the inquest into my sister Kate's death here, almost four years ago, which is still very much unsolved. The case has been beset by obstructions and evasions; it's taken us a long time to get this far and there may be more to come.

NHS staff who visit patients at home say St Georgeβs flags can mean βno-go zonesβ
Black and Asian staff left feeling βdeliberately intimidatedβ, according to chief executive of one NHS trust
'Prof Nicola Ranger, the unionβs general secretary, said: βA sustained campaign of anti-migrant rhetoric is fuelling a growing cesspool of racism, including against international and ethnic minority nursing staff, without whom our health and care system would simply cease to function.' 1/2

wonder if this could have anything to do with the British press running a 24/7 hate campaign where typically a single newspaper might contain 3 anti-trans stories *a day*

After Captain Tom
The cultural memory of the Second World War has long been used to serve the interests of British conservatism. But now that the long post-war compact is over, has its meaning evaporated completely?
Seen that video of a hundred-year-old veteran weeping over his lost country and being comforted by the 'D-Day Darlings' in a poppy-bedecked morning TV studio? Assailed by a profound sense of unease? Of distaste? Of dread, even? Allow me to make it worse: tribunemag.co.uk/2025/08/afte...
