I live in hope that this morning there are some people turning up for work who are called into the bosses office and sacked on the spot having been seen on TV. -

People on here know how much I hate something being quoted that is not the whole of what was said or written to manipulate the discussion and change the context of what was actually said. This is exactly what these quotes do, for example the Ashworth quote cleverly misses off ""That’s the Tory policy."" from the end and then ignores the rest of what was said, all to just try and show something different and stoke division. -

I mean...yes politicians and media have some blame...but they focus group this sh*t and probably see people's concerns and so try and address those concerns...it's the lack of control people don't like, why Take Back Control was such a successful slogan for Leave with that slogan meaning borders for a lot of people. What hasn't helped has been the slow response to process asylum claims which has meant hotels filling up across the country at great cost and great annoyance to many, some of this may be due to austerity cuts and/or covid, but also possibly deliberate because of Rwanda scheme and to help Tories in an election because they wouldn't be soft like Labour. And so you see Labour trying to counter it by smashing the gangs and clearing the backlog. With Israel/Gaza that could be feeding into it a bit, every weekend the pro Palestine marches, and some politicians labelling them hate marches etc. So, actually it could be argued that people have legitimate concerns, but we just had an election, Reform were on the ballot, Tories were still pushing their Rwanda scheme, but Labour won. People can protest, that is fine...but they're not, they're going out targeting minorities or mosques or hotels used for asylum seekers or shops to get some gear...that isn't protest. Also, no one talks about the crime that caused this, and that there was possibly a failure in social and mental health services, and also that Andrew Tate style misogyny might be a factor. -
Its sickening but I cant help but feel that there is an element of chickens coming home to roost. This is what happens when you capitulate to the other side’s rhetoric for so long. I daresay the approach on israel-palestine war has also exacerbated things, particularly the way politicians have been all too happy to dehumanise palestinians and by extension muslims. Its also how Labour paints itself into a corner economically. Now is the time, at the start of 5 years of govt, to start being honest, standing up and making the case for real left wing politics- ’winning the argument’ on migration, asylum seekers, redistributing wealth.
