Watch George H. W. Bush and Ronald Reagan answer a question about illegal immigration during a 1980 debate.
They wouldnβt even be allowed in todayβs Republican Party.

How BBC presents the anti-migrant hotel protests vs how we do at @bylinesnetwork.co.uk
BBC lead with a Reform UK voter saying "We are not happy with these men in this hotel because we fear for our childrenβ
We tell of the refugee children inside the hotel terrified by chants of βsend them out!β
"London lives rent free in their heads as it's living proof of how completely wrong their politics is - they πππ«π to lie about it!"
As the far-right push a thinly veiled anti-immigrant narrative by branding London a "crime-ridden hellhole" - Jon and Lewis push back.
80-90% of crime is caused by poverty, outside of Murders and Rapes, it is all driven by the need for money.
The increase in crime in the UK has nothing to do with lack of Police or leniency of the law.
And everything to do with crushing poverty caused by greedy billionaires.

Femi, thank you for this massive, excellent and necessary piece of work!
I would like to make a modest financial contribution in your support, but don't see a Ko-fi (or equivalent) account for you. Is there a convenient way for me to make this happen please?
Thank you kindly! πππ½
This is a superb new resource about rejoining the EU.
rejoin.info
It takes all the thorny questions, and the objections and obstacles people throw in the way of rejoining, and tackles each one slowly, factually and calmly.
Bottom line: we can rejoin. It won't necessarily take a very long time.
