Refugees are people, not boats. When the Govt dehumanises people who risk their lives to seek safety from persecution & war, the country dreamed of by the far right is here & it must terrify & galvanise us into action.

This is genuinely the most revolting thing I’ve seen on the bbc for a while. Alibhai Brown raises Stanley Johnson assaulting his wife (he broke her nose) & Fiona Bruce cites his friends saying it was a ‘one off’.
A feudal media elite in a modern country.
Imagine how different our media would be if we had a law
- that it could be run only by citizens of this country
- who paid their taxes in this country
- and therefore had some of their own skin in the game.
📈 Our already extortionate rail fares will rise yet again on Sunday.
💰 Private rail companies are raking in profit for running expensive and unreliable services.
💚 We would nationalise our railways and run services for people, not profit.
Johnson, Rees-Mogg and any other Tory defending your flagrant rule-breaking and wild dishonesty…
What a shameful display of spoiled brat foot-stamping, now you’ve been conclusively found out.
Accept responsibility for contemptuously failing us, you utterly disrespectful shits.
@mrjamesob@MartinRemains He nails his colours to the mast of Brexit
But rather than make UK better, he wrecks it
That vacuous, shallow purveyor of nonsense

@Wulf_Helm Perhaps the thrall, Amanda @amandajplatell, would benefit from appropriate ‘adjustment’ courtesy of our esteemed Bretwalda.

The English Disease (at least since 2016): Complacent Parochialism.
Disease & patient are the same. Self infecting, sustaining, feeding on itself.
Too incompetent to realise we're incompetent, too stupid to realise we're stupid.
The owners of the nation continue asset stripping.

You have a racehorse. You starve it and beat it and lock it in a tiny cage, all the while shouting to the world how brilliantly it can perform - just you wait and see! You also attack anyone drawing attention to the abuse.
That's the Tory party's approach to the UK economy.
Auschwitz "did not fall from the sky".
Auschwitz took time. The industrial murder was at the end of a long process which began with coining the idea. Words & propaganda reinforced stereotypes & prejudice. Legal exclusion and dehumanization was followed by escalating violence.
