This isn't about flags, or about asylum policy. It's about far-right street thugs being able to intimidate, harass, and assault whoever they want using the cover of 'legitimate concerns'. And it's astonishing that the Prime Minister can't bring himself to condemn any of it.
Don’t appoint a landlord as Homelessness Minister.
Don’t appoint someone taking thousands in donations from private health companies as Health Secretary.
Dont appoint someone taking thousands from Israeli lobbyists as Home Secretary.
There’s a theme here.
Disgusting mealy mouthed passive voice nonsense- who is killing, who is starving children- and asking Israel to ‘change course’ as if they haven’t green lighted genocide-pathetic. We are completely devoid of honesty and humanity. This is a truly shameful time.

"To call them protestors is profoundly misleading. It is to discredit a long tradition of perfectly legitimate and peaceful and important protest that has made our society better in many ways"
"What's going on is specific to these crowds.. Crowd psychology is there when people are cleaning up the streets as well as attacking the streets.. The difference is one group has an ideology of hate and violence, another has a vision of community and solidarity"
"Most people are pro immigration.. The irony is that over recent years attitudes towards immigration has become more positive.. People see immigrants as a boom rather than as a menace to the country.. Britain is one of the more liberal countries"
"If we didn't have migrants then our care service would fall apart, our NHS would fall apart.. It's important not to highlight the negative exceptions, but to show that most people are pro migrants"
