I don’t say this to criticise Sunder specificall, who holds up far too much anti-racism work on his own, but the idea of a control:compassion ratio can’t strike me as anything but ghoulish

Thanks mate, and I’m really profoundly sorry you feel that way. Britain has always been my home and I hate what we’ve let it become

Refused due to a judgement call decision as well, so as far as I’m concerned it was a policy decision, ie Shabana Mahmood and Andy B personally chose to remove my partner from the country

Me and my partner are going to have to leave the country because of this government (ILR refused). Very much looking forward to Labour cabinet members boasting about net immigration figures when it’s our lives theyve completely upended to reduce that number by 2

I want to play Ace Combat 8 but apparently the antagonist country is sort of an Iran stand-in? Can anyone tell me if this is a big deal because as much as I hate the IRI I don’t really want to play at bombing Iran right now

I don’t share your optimism about the Tories, sure they withdrew it but their immigration plan was worse than anything Reform came up with, they’re not really better on the economy either. Only thing they’re clearly better on really is Russia

Elizabeth Taylor @elizabethtaylor47.bsky.social · 18h

The immigration bill she will undoubtedly support which is set to harm vast swathes of immigrants, including refugees and all of their loved ones of course seems suspiciously absent from this analysis.

I’ve seen a lot of your posts around here recently, and all of them reveal you to be an idiotic bigoted cunt who should fuck right off forever

Would really recommend her ‘constellation novels’ (not sure if BoJ already qualifies) - House of Day, House of Night is fantastic, Flights too

I love Tokarczuk but will confess to being pretty intimidated by Books of Jacob. How is it compared to the rest of her work?

Sorry if I came across as aggressive at first, there are better targets I’m sure. But I’ve been thinking about this an awful lot recently

alj8.bsky.social @alj8.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Oh for sure (check my pinned post for how I feel about HO caseworkers) I’ve called for HO abolition plenty in my time, and I still believe it, I just increasingly question whether it is helpful or even not actively counterproductive

alj8.bsky.social @alj8.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Is it unreformable? Yes. But I just think the popularisation of the phrase is becoming an excuse for avoiding addressing the real causes

120

alj8.bsky.social @alj8.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Sure but frankly it’s not HO mandarins making the decision, I see too many Labour people shrug and say ‘abolish the Home Office’ as if this is a decision made by a monster in the basement and not people who they vote for and cheer at conference

alj8.bsky.social @alj8.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

This is a political decision, the responsibility is that of the Home Secretary, not the civil servants in the Home Office

I remember a lot of Labour people saying they were proud in Abdi-Wali to have someone who they claimed ‘reflected their values’ given she came to the UK as a refugee. Where are these values?!?

Whether he gets every statement 100% right or not (he never will), it’s really disheartening to see him criticised like this for essentially trying as hard as he can to do the right thing

Not keen on this developing narrative I've seen on both the left and right that counterposes Jews with everyone else. Ultimately a policy that harms other minorities will harm us...and vice versa

god i am so sick of NOBODY calling out that automatic settlement ISN'T A THING every time the liars at the home office, and ukgov generally, make this claim. call them out!! it's the easiest thing in the world to pull them up on! jesus christ inews.co.uk/news/uk-inde...

A Home Office spokesperson said: “Last November, we set out reforms that mean settlement must be earned and not automatic. A consultation on elements of those reforms has now closed, and we will set out our response in due course.”
