Neil Oliver: Today’s leaders have no loyalty to Britain or the British – none that I can see. Maybe a few still feel some loyalty – but are just too demoralised or scared to declare it, far less to do anything about it. 1/2🧵
Utterly tone-deaf from Trevor Phillips. Protestors dismissed as "ignorant racists.. thickos and sickos... illiterates... lubricated thugs... mix of football hooligans, bored teens, inebriates and professional agitators"
No mention of the locals, concerned parents. The actions of a few define all the protestors. Something Phillips would NEVER do in the wake of the 2011 or BLM riots, when it was about listening to "communities" - not clamping down on them
ZERO understanding that last week rioting broke out in 7/10 England’s Most Deprived areas - 7 areas that also have highest levels of asylum seekers receiving housing/support from taxpayers
Not only were there their voices ignored for years - they were put to the back of the queue on social housing
Liberal politics - like Phillips' - has destroyed working class communities, who never had a say, despite voting to stop uncontrolled immigration time and time again!

@admcollingwood it's the gleeful over-reach in response to the riots that will do for Labour. The riots will be forgotten, but the over-reach and the two-tier society will not. The outrages will continue to happen, appeasement and lies will continue to be the response.
I don’t understand this.
Why does the Crown Prosecution Service “stand with” any community?
It’s supposed to be an impartial body taking decisions based on the law of the land.
Why does the CPS need “panels”? Who is on the panels? What influence do they exert? Worrying.
"What we are about to witness in the UK is a concerted clampdown on "legal but harmful" speech, opinions the elite don't like, political parties like Reform, & media like GB News & X. Sorry, but no. This is Britain. Not North Korea. We must resist".

We need to address the root cause of why so many British people feel so unsafe in their own country. We need to fix the borders. We need to end mass immigration. We need to replace the policy of multiculturalism.

This is a childish misconception that deserves to be put right. The British people have voted again and again to reduce immigration substantially, and they were never asked about mass immigration when the policy was first introduced by Tony Blair, in 1997. Nobody knew what was coming, apart from the architects of that policy--and even they were surprised.
When New Labour came to power, net legal immigration to the UK was c.50k a year. New Labour's policy of mass immigration was introduced, in the words of former advisor Andrew Neather to "rub the right's nose in diversity" and ensure that a real conservative government could never be elected again. It was a cold, cynical policy formulation that came from the very top of government, from people like Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and Peter Mandelson. It was not a manifesto promise.
Over the next 27 years, as the scale of the demographic changes taking place became clearer, immigration became an important, but toxic, political issue. The Conservative Party made it a consistent policy pledge, at every election, that immigration would be brought down to "manageable levels," which were usually defined as being "in the tens of thousands a year." Even the Labour Party promised to reduce immigration at elections; although of course they never did.
When the Tories got into power, they continued to promise to reduce immigration, while also doing nothing about it, and in fact making the situation much worse.
The vote to leave the EU was, fundamentally, about national sovereignty and regaining control of our borders, but the Tories managed to betray the will of the British people by increased net migration to over 700k a year, 14 times the number of people who were entering the country in 1997.
The scale of the Tory betrayal of the British people with regard to immigration is why they suffered their most historic defeat, in the recent election. Keir Starmer didn't win the British public over, in any meaningful sense. 20% of the electorate voted for him. Instead, millions of people voted for Nigel Farage and Reform instead of the Conservatives, handing victory to Starmer.
Over the last 27 years, a segment of the population may very well have voted for Labour or other left parties specifically because they want mass immigration, but it's pretty safe to say a significant proportion of the British public, maybe the majority do not want mass immigration.
Understanding this is the only way that events of the last few months, from the election of Keir Starmer to the riots themselves, can be made comprehensible.
So no, the British people haven't, in any meaningful sense, "literally voted" for mass immigration.

Something as insanely dumb as this proposal reveals Phillipson lacking critical skills herself

‘The definition could allow terror suspects to “legally challenge investigations” aka if law enforcement stops an Islamist terrorist? You’re a racist.’
@JoshXHowie reacts to the government considering adopting an official definition of the term Islamophobia.
they’re f*cking punch drunk over finally being able to deploy all the power they always wished they had because it’s finally against a population group who is institutionally blocked from pushing back
Marine Le Pen calls Mass Immigration “an organised replacement of our population” which “threatens our very survival” and results in “endless cultural conflict”.
She’s one of the only politicians in Europe with the balls to say this.
👏👏👏
Worried about this Government's war on free speech? The FSU has a four-person legal team and a five-person case team. Since 2020, we've taken on more than 2,700 cases, helping people who've been punished for something they've said. Join the resistance. 👊

This officer Serena Kennedy was among the very first to circulate the misinformation that the riots were 'EDL'*. These statements led to a great many peaceful protesters being attacked by Muslim gangs, some hospitalised.

His case will be heard in September - what happened to this "fast-tracking" all protesters inciting violence disorder?
I understand he's also coincidentally been given the judge who released 'paraglider girls' without punishment.

A few years ago I reported a website set up to dox my children, with photos and school details, my address, private family photos and lots of other details. The police said that unless I told them who the website belonged to, and where they lived, there was nothing they could do.
