They came through immigration fraud and drove out native labour through fraud, bribery, nepotism and driving conditions back to Dickensian industrial squalor. When people talk about job adverts and being encouraged to come, they ae talking about the enticements of the people smuggling gangs and the ridiculous boasting of their relatives who had already migrated and would tell fantastical lies about their success and how much they were needed and how valued and indespensible they were. A lot of the "doing jobs the British wouldn't do" comes down to Indo-Pakistanis izzat inflating bullshit about themselves.
Just reading a Parliamentary report on Student Loans in the UK, very interesting.
It argues that the British government HAS mis-sold the product to the British public (important information was not accessible).
BUT, they exempted themselves from consumer protection laws...
Andy Burnham says he wants to end rough sleeping. While making a BBC Radio 4 programme on the issue, I interviewed him. He blamed it all on Tory cuts. But two care leavers sleeping rough told me their hostel was full of migrants. The CSJ says migrants make up a quarter of rough sleepers, rising to half in London. If the PM wants to fix rough sleeping, he must fix migration. Wishful thinking isn’t a housing policy.
Goodall's inhaled James O'Brien's interview style of following exact questions with abstract ones if he dislikes the answer. Here he basically asks Hausdorff when her birthday is then asks why she ignored millions of people with different birthdays. Pedantic, partisan & puerile.
Welcome to Burnham's Britain, where the 1970s meets David Brent Stalinism. Cast and Shed 7 play in the background—just be normal, lads—as everything you remember is dismantled and erased. Come on mate, have another pint, it's a great country, yeah.
EXCLUSIVE: I went undercover with ‘cigarette police’ working for enforcement agency 3GS on behalf of councils across the country where I learnt
- Staff are told to target vulnerable people outside hospitals with £175 fines
- Officers can earn bonuses of up to £7,200 a year for fining people despite claims by 3GS it pays no commission
- Workers are told to target people from specific ethnic backgrounds
One thing the middle classes really don’t understand about the working class (key word: working) is that they hate this type of guy more than you ever will. This is the family having a screaming match in the street at 3am when you need to be up at 6
Indeed. Alastair Campbell is an amoral sociopath & a bully. Extremely tribal, obsessed with comms & personalities, & will defend the post-1997 status quo at all costs. He is an extreme example of a communications obsessed postmodern 'politician'. Reality is merely an obstacle.
In gold-standard Nordic economies like Denmark & Norway, Brits are the most fiscally productive migrants.
In the UK, no ethnic group has a lower unemployment rate than White Brits.
Yet the prevailing attitude on both the left and the right is that native White Brits are lazy.
🚨 NEW: Police have launched an urgent manhunt for a Sudanese national who escaped from a prison van while being taken to hospital in Manchester on Tuesday
He was serving an indefinite sentence for serious attacks on two women and police officers last year
Very well spotted by Max. I wrote about this for @TheCriticMag at the start of 2025 when this emerged on the agenda.
This is no ordinary social security pact which allows for posted workers serving on overseas secondments to have temporary relief from certain taxes.
This is part of India's deliberate foreign and trade policy push to expand Indian emigration the country can receive remittance income. They are doing the same with countries like Australia and Canada as well.
A five year National Insurance exemption for Indian workers in Britain is no ordinary social security pact. It is essentially a subsidy for firms in the UK to bring Indian workers to the country at a discount, while unemployment grows at home.
