Screenshot of a Telegraph headline 'Rights of asylum seekers trump the people of Epping, Home Office argues'

I know the Telegraph has been off the deep end for a while but their headlines have been *something else* recently

better luck next time yanks xx

Are the legitimate concerns of ethnic minorities about racism being ignored? 'Politicians must not ignore threats to racial equality today'

Excellent piece by @sundersays.bsky.social on the need to address the "legitimate concerns" of many British people - about the growth of open racism and ethnonationalism in the British political class and media.

(Rachael Maskell has a hard-line anti-abortion stance that ought to disqualify her from membership of the labour party anyway, btw)

why are all these media outlets calling him Mark Carney, rather that his real name, Not Mervyn King?

Seven and a half years ago, there was a cross-party consensus that this was the right thing to do. Then the commentariat began shitting on it.

Google search results says: National Institute of Justice (•gov) https://nij.ojp.gov › topics › articles › undocumented-im.. immigrants commit crimes at lower rates than U.S. citizens. No information is available for this page. Learn why

THREAD: The Trump administration's DOJ has removed a study from the NIJ website that found that immigrants, and particularly undocumented immigrants, commit crimes at significantly lower rates than U.S. citizens.

The study is at odds with the Trump regime's propaganda about immigrants & crime. (1)

happy ten year anniversary to this post

Trumpism in one country very much seeing off the Musk idea of exporting the movement here!

Every time I read an interview with Judith Butler they sound so rational and humane, the opposite of the demonized caricature.

(c) is probably baked into whatever you do but is made much the worse by (a) and (b)

THE ACCESS IS ALREADY UNLAWFUL

Passing a law saying that:
(a) adds no options for enforcement;
(b) gives the impression that the unlawful access is *currently* lawful (which it isn't); and,
(c) gives trump/musk ammunition that you're corrupt and trying to prevent them ending the corruption

Trump pardons Silk Road founder Ulbricht for online drug scheme U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday pardoned Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht, who was serving a life sentence after being convicted of running an underground online marketplace that was used by thousands of drug dealers and others to conduct over $200 million worth of illicit sales using bitcoin.

The US President who claims to be so concerned about drug trafficking is the same US President who, on his first day in office, pardoned Ross Ulbricht.

Elon Musk's mother moved to South Africa in the year Apartheid was created, and she and Elon left the year it ended. The last Apartheid Prime Minister, a man who refused to testify at the Truth and Reconciliation Committee, was a family friend who stayed at their home. This is not a crazy theory.

Sure, it was mostly just funny given (to my memory) 'Blairite' was cloned as a term in opposition to 'Brownite'

I had a big chuckle at seeing Gordon Brown described as a 'Blairite' in 2016

Update.

The Telegraph has now corrected its entirely fabricated claim that 1 in 12 Londoners is an "illegal migrant" and has accepted that this claim was false in *four" separate respects.

However, this has not resolved my complaint to IPSO - I will continue to request a front-page correction.

lmao imagine if biden said that

Reform's 14% views on future UK/EU policy shows mixed & slightly agnostic views of post-Brexit

1/10 for rejoin!
1/5 OK if single market

Overlapping views

1/2 (55%) would want more distant links than now

Love the BBC. Here we have industry fully supportive of the third runway. But maybe its the wrong thing because they might knock down some houses in a village where some random 18 year old lives.
