My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

The boat wasn’t headed to the U.S., which we would have learned with a little due process instead of murder. www.cnn.com/2025/12/05/p...

Hillsborough: Long-awaited report into Britain's worst-ever sporting disaster to be published today An investigation by the Independent Office for Police Misconduct has focused on amendments made to officers' accounts and allegations that police passed misleading information to the media, politician...

Behold, the modern efficiency of the British state, a full verdict reached and police officers held to account (unless they happen to have retired in the last 36 years).

He should visit Gaza, with a film crew and no Israeli minders.

The sheer scale of Israel's atrocities there need to be shown to the world.

The biggest shock to the British political establishment in the last 30 years was not Brexit but the 2017 General Election.

But it's Government policy which is causing this...

"...BBC Radio 4's File on Four found asylum seekers were being issued with a bus pass for one return journey per week. For other necessary travel, like doctor's appointments, taxis were used."

Extend the free bus pass to, maybe, 2 journeys?

Government to ban asylum seekers from using taxis The ban is set to come in February and any exemptions will have to be signed off by the Home Office.

This is a story about the poor provision of GP services and private contractors fiddling their expenses, but the BBC makes it all refugees' fault.

There is not the faintest indication that cows, pigs, or chickens suffer less than dogs, cats, or people. A fair and cautious mind should take it for granted that their pain is just as real.

Hear, hear. Bloody hell.

PERSONAL FINANCE No prudence: it just got harder to retire if you're in your forties or fifties Kwasi Kwarteng

The inside story of the mini-budget disaster Photo of Kwarteng and Truss Faisal Islam > Economics editor @faisalislam › 25 September 2023 The term "mini budget" will be forever toxic in British politics. So disastrous was then-Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng's September 2022 statement - which included £45bn of unfunded tax cuts - that its long shadow still stretches over our economics and politics.

You just cannot take the iPaper seriously when it wheels out Kwasi ‘mini budget’ Kwarteng to comment on the budget.
We don’t *ever* want to hear from this arrogant clown again.
“No prudence”
FML.

It's never a 'tough choice' to take money from the poor and vulnerable and give it to the wealthy.

At some point, surely, the penny will drop with the British people and they will realise that it is rich people who have all their money, and not immigrants, refugees, sick people, disabled people, unemployed people, trans people, single mothers, black and Asian people, gypsies, jews, or witches.

How is the BBC still able to platform Melanie Philips after she declares 'there is no such thing as Palestinians'?

Israel launches strikes on Gaza in further test of fragile ceasefire Israeli airstrikes targeted a car in the densely populated Rimal neighbourhood of Gaza City and homes in other parts of the territory, including Deir al Balah and Nuseirat camp.

Israel, of course, never violates ceasefires, it merely 'tests' them.

Billionaires are economic tumours - unrestrained growth wrecking the rest of the body. They need to be excised.

Good morning! The term 'financial literacy' is a gimmick by capitalists to frame poverty as a failure of the individual 'illiterate' rather than as the planned outcome of a social order that requires a class of desperate labourers paid only enough to survive their physical prime."

YouTube video by Al Mayadeen English Former Obama speechwriter blames social media for shifts in youth views about 'Israel'

Well, this is quite the clip. Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurst thinks critics of Israel's genocide do so because they wrongly believe the lesson of the Holocaust is that the strong shouldn't victimise the weak.

Immigration isn't 'tearing Britain apart'. Racists and chancers are.

Class > ethnicity.

Palestinians hoped the Gaza ceasefire with Israel would offer a chance to recover from two years of genocide, but a month later, Israel continues to strike with impunity, the economic crisis remains, and nutritious food is nearly impossible to find.

Israel's genocide continues. The BBC continues to equivocate.

The BBC can traduce, misrepresent, and smear the politically powerless all it likes. It's only upsetting the powerful that costs senior heads.
