Refugees are not vikings coming to rape and pillage.
They are human beings - equal to you and me - and should be treated as such.
Bashing refugees hurts them, demeans us and serves the interests of the ruling class.
That's why the billionaire-owned media does it.

💯 agree with her that unless we #RejoinEU single market or customs union, now that Trump has been elected, we won't achieve economic growth

Let me get this straight:
Jeremy Clarkson bought land to avoid paying inheritance tax on his millions.
Nigel Farage & Boris Johnson promised Brexit would save farmers & fishers, but it ruined them.
And now they're all claiming to represent the interests of struggling farmers?
Many are unaware, in many of the societies Britain colonised women were often leaders. Many would hunt, many were trained fighters and could defend against enemy attacks. Colonialism put a stop to this and women were forced to become domestic servants, cooking, cleaning etc..
It's been two days since the ICC issued an arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu and Keir Starmer has still not issued a public statement.
Starmer is silent because he is a co-perpetrator of the Gaza genocide and many of the charges against Netanyahu apply to him as well.
It seems any prospect of sentencing Trump has been quashed.
I think his presence on the world stage will undoubtedly plunge us into even more deeply uncertain & dark times.
He clearly believes in US geo-political hegemony & totally believes in his personal omnipotence as POTUS.
Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak refused to provide 10,000 extra beds to the NHS that would have helped during and after Covid.
Because they wanted the NHS to pay the private sector instead.
We must never trust these people with our health again.
John was our voice.
He made us feel we had a right to be in Westminster.
He was first to give the North of England a political profile and paved the way for the devolution of powers to it.
He made politics real and lifted the lives of millions.
He was Our John.
RIP
I am really sad to hear that John Prescott has passed away.
John was a huge figure and personality, from his seafaring union days to the highest offices in Government.
I will be forever grateful for his personal and political support in the 2017 and 2019 elections. His endless warmth and iconic wit were loved on the campaign trail.
My deepest sympathies to John’s family at their loss. He will be greatly missed.
A reminder that Clarkson, who was involved in protest action today, stated that such people who are involved in such action should be 'taken outside and executed in front of their families'.
Joe Biden is a lameduck president.
He can do what he wants without political consequences.
He’s chosen to veto a ceasefire because he is and always was an enthusiastic supporter and facilitator of Israel’s genocide.
