Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

So, if I understand Nigel Farage's argument correctly it is: "Everyone I trusted and elevated into a position of responsibility is constantly doing crimes that benefit me but of which I somehow have no knowledge. I am a man with the character, judgement, and intelligence to run the country." Ok.

For all the emphasis on young people not in education, employment or training, the proportion of NEET youngsters is currently just below the 25-year average Not saying more shouldn't be done (and it's long been neglected) but recent breathless coverage suggests its a new problem or at record levels

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

This is especially true if a man is built like a threatened anteater. Miller has relatively narrow shoulders and wide hips, which means there's not much shape through the torso.
Stephen Miller on the beach with his wife. He's wearing a white polo shirt and shorts, which shows the natural shape of his body. An angry anteater built like Stephen Miller.

There's also little acknowledgement of the effect of blanket social media bans on marginalised & isolated young people - including many who are disabled or LGBTQ - who find supportive (non local) communities online. Many charities, inc the NSPCC, favour regulation rather than ban for that reason.

We're at the point where the Telegraph are literally making up quotes. I said when veg is sold for pennies in supermarkets, it's a sign someone's not being paid properly. Farmers being paid a pittance for their produce. Workers on less than a living wage in supermarkets.
