I have now accepted we live in a fascist state. On Monday I am being measured up for my uniform with some rather fetching death's heads skulls. I know where you live. And no. Residency of the UK since birth will not save you.
this one is even worse. An absolute horrible horrible human being I’ve the misfortune to have as my MP
Braverman on her father… “On a cold February morning in 1968, a young man, not yet 21, stepped off a plane at Heathrow airport, nervously folding away his one-way ticket from Kenya. He had no family, no friends and was clutching only his most valuable possession, his British passport. His homeland was in political turmoil, Critics have wondered whether Braverman might suffer pangs of conscience about sending Afghans and Iranians to Rwanda given that they, like her father, say they are fleeing political turmoil. Her previous comments suggest not.” I simply cannot, and never will, understand this. My father was a refugee with no family, friends not even a country to go back to - no hope, nothing at all. Every refugee I see or hear about reminds me of him. It doesn’t inspire me to persecute people like him. The people who lead this country are a disgrace. A slur on humanity.
In other less depressing news I see Jacob Rees Mogg has been appointed Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy. I’m sure we will all sleep much sounder with that great appointment
We've got a bloke who doesn't even use a ******* computer in charge of business, energy and industry. They couldn't make The Thick of It these days because politics is now beyond parody.
