ooh, that's good

Just beyond parody at this point

The Home Office tweet here - referring to asylum seekers legally here and legally supported by the government as “illegal migrants” - is a deliberate attempt to stir up resentment and racial hatred.

I can’t see how else you describe it.

Lucy Connolly is having one or two 'moments' in the other place.
