Earlier this month, the far right set fire to hotels housing asylum seekers.

Today, the government announced a "major surge" in deportations and promised to re-open detention centres.

The government could have stood up to the far right. Instead, it pandered to them.

Absolutely. The most patriotic thing any White British person can do is work tirelessly to build an anti-racist, anti-capitalist society

Enough. The @Telegraph has gone too far with its condemnation of teaching about colonial history. There's at least three brainless statements from this latest piece of concocted outrage (& more to come):

@kehinde_andrews @Nicole_ACA So, so sorry to hear this. Sending our deepest condolences to you and your lovely family

@audible_ca I just subscribed but am finding that 99% of titles I want to listen to are not available in this region. Even titles advertised on my homepage (Michelle Obama's Becoming! Handmaid's Tale!) are not available. Is this normal? Why so few options for Canadians?

the infamous 'secret brexiteer' doing this while a host of 'the remainiacs' praises the new labour leader voting through a transparently dogshit deal is probably the funniest, most inevitable and most depressing conclusion to this whole sorry period of history

@ServiceCanada_E Hi. Trying to speak with a human at the NSLSC but come up against a maze of automated responses, none of which respond to the Q I have. How do I resolve my query?!

Can't put it much more succinctly than @kehinde_andrews

"The world today looks as it does – white countries rich, Africa poor, & a hierarchy in between – because this world was built on colonialism & slavery. You don't have your phones, clothes without the exploitation of black & brown life." @kehinde_andrews https://t.co/E2AJUMSMov

Here’s what they don’t teach you in school about the British rule over India.

There’s a misguided idea that India should be grateful for the trains, democracy and law that the British empire ‘gave them’.

[Stan's Account @tristandross]

the tory government have decided to ramp this up as a wedge issue over the weekend, instantly merrily aided and abetted by our quisling media and a public broadcaster which has decided to put out live 'refugee watch' as though it's breakfast entertainment. absolutely despair

[Akala @akalamusic]

Again what is ‘traditional working class?’. More people migrated to Britain from Poland, Italy, Ireland and Germany after the war than Caribbean and India... so who is ‘traditional’ and on what grounds? Say it with your whole chest big man 👊🏾

In response to widespread calls to defund police & invest in communities - borne of rampant police killings of Black and Indigenous people across Toronto and Canada -the city votes instead for on an increase in police funding for “reforms” already known to be ineffective. Shame.

We need decriminalization, disarmament & demilitarization. Our lives depend on it.
