Calling English a 'rip-off degree' is one of the most blatant exhibitions of personal barbarism I've ever seen. You've demonstrated nothing but the poverty of your own mind.

Robert Jenrick slammed for โ€˜didnโ€™t see another white faceโ€™ comment โ€˜People of colour should not have to justify their Britishnessโ€™ to the shadow justice secretary, Labour said

Britain has long been racist: things were slowly getting betterโ€“then Brexit let loose the hounds!
I am ashamed of my country these days.
Itโ€™s taken such a very short time to slid backwards and I fear we have further to fall.
Remainers saw this coming.

Yes indeed. They (Tory stooges) have achieved their goal. The BBC is becoming irrelevant. Lack of funding means fewer quality programmes, instead making cheap populist tat, and political influence makes it a no longer trusted news source. Some radio is brilliant but news bulletins are poison.

This lurid headline is about British tourists no longer getting away with overstaying in Schengen. Or being 'illegals', as it's often called in the UK.

Like the Tories, the Labour government is trying to drive down the number of people who qualify for disability benefits by insisting there has been an epidemic of โ€œoverdiagnosisโ€: a favourite theme of the BBC and the junktanks of Tufton Street. Never mind the science: what outcome do we want?

UK accounting watchdog to ease its probes of audit firms FRCโ€™s proposals follow sustained complaints from the industry about lengthy investigations

There is parade of dud audits, auditors let lying dogs sleep.

UK accounting regulator is changing the rules.There will be fewer investigations.

People will be deceived, fees will keep rising.

There is no transparency about the conduct of audits.

Regulators work for the industry.

If you're 'concerned'

or 'worried'

about immigration,

& your 'worry' is limited

to people of colour,

then it's not 'worry',

it's racism.

โ€˜Thick as Thievesโ€™: Nathan Gill and Nigel Farageโ€™s Putin Problem Far from being distant from the Reform UK Leader, insiders told Byline Times that the former MEP convicted of bribery was one of Farageโ€™s closest aides, while we reveal how Gill worked on the Kremlinโ€™...

Throwing myself into researching Farageโ€™s Russian links including Nathan Gillโ€™s treachery, which the mainstream press is refusing to cover.

On average, every 4 years, the ECHR stops the UK removing 1 foreign person.

They want you to demand we leave the ECHR because of this.

I've being saying "told you so" about Brexit for a decade. Don't let them do it to you again. Please listen this time.....

BBC Laura Kuenssberg Show Accused of Anti-Green Bias After Cancelling Zack Polanski Interview The new Green Party leader was the only major party leader not to have been granted a conference interview on the flagship BBC show

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead.

This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

Donโ€™t despair, Tories: look upon Reform and see your rightful and fitting legacy | Nesrine Malik If Kemi Badenoch wonders why her party conference looks and feels like a sideshow, perhaps she should reflect on the Conservativesโ€™ 14 years in power, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik

The Tories are the toxic mess that Reform grew from. And they still are. Their angry uselessness just feeds the monster they created. And they donโ€™t have the wit or the integrity to realise the harm they do to the country by being so cluelessly shit.

The Tories had fourteen years to stand up for Britain. They let us down time and time again.

Never forget what the Tories did.

Donโ€™t forget partygate.

Donโ€™t forget the covid contracts.

Donโ€™t forget the lies.

The cronyism.

The division.

The NHS on its knees.

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow thatโ€™s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

Police to get broader powers to crack down on repeated protests The move is not a ban on protests but "about restrictions and conditions", Shabana Mahmood tells the BBC.

"The Conservatives made a total mess of protest laws and left us with the worst of all worlds โ€“ wasting police time arresting people for legitimate peaceful protest, while letting others get away with inciting violence. I fear Labour seem to be following them down the same path"

British politics is basically a doom spiral of increasingly unhinged hostile policies.

Reform says something unhinged
โฌ‡๏ธ
Labour counters with their own unhinged policy

Tories shout from back they'll be even more unhinged

Reform announces different unhinged proposal in response
