Pathetic performative cowardice. I mean, it's not even a workable lie. A better one would be to pretend it's only the suburbs which are inhabitable, while the centre is lawless. Which obviously wouldn't be true, either, but at least has some remote connection to the actual areas where crime has been going up and down.ย
Instead they peddle this mad fiction that you can't walk the streets of London after 6pm, like it was 1980s Johannesburg or whatever, when they must KNOW that literally millions of people do this every day and our violent crime statistics have almost never been lower.
Honestly, the new willingness of politicians and pundits on the British right to peddle these mad and blatant lies about their own city, which they see outside their own bloody windows, entirely to curry favour with their American counterparts - who at least have the defence of ignorance - is probably the most contemptible political development of my lifetime.
I actually wouldn't be surprised if they WERE scared to leave the house, but only for fear of people laughing in their faces. What a joke these people are.
Sick of the BBC acting as a mouthpiece for Farage and Reform? Us too.
Our national broadcaster should reflect the whole country, not just one manโs ego.
I think if your surprise conference stars are Nadine Dorries, Andrea Jenkyns and Lucy Connolly itโs probably time to put the bottle down and have a good old think about how life is going.
For fuckโs sake. Socialism is NOT Communism
Capitalism โ anybody can be rich
Communism โ nobody can be rich
Socialism โ anybody can be rich but nobody should be poor
