Fair play to the wife of a Caribbean man and mother of mixed race children being informed by the BBC reporter that she’s in the minority in her community regarding immigration and responding with, “Yes, I’m surrounded by bigots.”

It's insulting to Rachel Johnson to be continually known as the sister of the former PM Boris Johnson. She's her own woman and more than capable of being an arsehole in her own right.

I'm confused, the Starmer bashers were never told to stfu because they were helping Reform but any criticism of Burnham and we're helping Reform. I will not criticise Burnham just for fun but criticism of his silence about the balaclava thugs and attacks on the RNLI is justified.

On Andy Burnham's sudden bout of shyness. thecritic.co.uk/sanc...
The close of his statement was an appeal to our better natures. If we were going to ask Israelis and Palestinians to live side-by-side, he said, Britain also had to be a place where “people of all faiths and none have a right to live without prejudice or fear.” Listening to him was Andy Burnham, who has been strangely absent from our public debate for the last few days. In August, we couldn’t move for social media clips from the prime minister, standing on a ladder to discuss his first job, or sitting in a pub to rate bar snacks. But faced with masked thugs trying to shut down British ports over the weekend, Burnham seems to have lost the password for his phone. For a decade now, Britain has had a series of leaders apparently paralysed by the fear that if they say that racism is bad, they’ll be voted out. It would be nice to get one who had a slightly higher opinion of us.

A few people have asked me to post this astonishing clip, from Reform Party conference, so they can share it. OUTRAGE at something that didn't happen, but could have, maybe, she thinks. Within three hours is repackaged by Jeremy Kyle and offered to Farage as a real anecdote that actually happened.

"But why are they given houses...?" When asylum seekers are moved out of hotels and into other forms of temporary accommodation, such as the homes in Thetford, it is important to note that they aren’t being “given” a house. 13/

"But what about hotels...?" Around 135,000 homeless households in the UK are also given temporary accommodation in hotels and B&Bs. Compared to the 20,000 asylum seekers similarly housed. 12/

For example, a 24-year-old with no family, out of work with no sickness or disability, living near Thetford would be entitled to £98.05 per week in Universal Credit, as well as housing support from the council. Double the weekly cash take-home compared to an Asylum seeker. 11/

This is hardly "jaw-dropping" stuff! Providing the bare minimum for someone to be able to feed and keep themselves clean and sheltered shouldn't be seen by anyone as some sort of luxury. Especially for those who are unable, by law, to support themselves through work 9/

The Spectator has seen fit to republish a 2012 poem by Rod Liddle dedicated to the Metropolitan Police. Count the racist stereotypes and then ponder: do no white British people commit crime in London?
A poem for the Met

Albanian gangsters with rice flails and Uzis, Ukrainian pimps with high-cheekboned floozies, Jamaicans with handguns, Somalis with knives - just some of the people enriching our lives.

Jew-hating Imams from Rabat and Homs, Stockpiling their basements with ricin and bombs, Rich Saudi princes with cowering slaves, Slovakian hooligans, Romanian knaves, A fat lady from Lagos looking quite glum With five kilos of gak stashed away up her bum, Levantine maniacs beating up gays, Young girls from Thailand whose skills quite amaze, Grim Kurdish separatists from the shores of Lake Van, Strange Russian men with a nuclear tan, From Romford to Ruislip a myriad show Of cultural diversity - so mind how you go.

Rod Liddle (2012)

Former Australian Migration Officer here. This is the biggest nonsense I have heard since the last one. The reason the crowd left, peacefully mind you, is because they were not asylum seekers and never claimed to be. Except for about 1,000, none applied for asylum. They were victims of a disinformation campaign, spread via Meta media (Facebook, Instagram they said in interviews) that informed them Spain had opened its borders. So they made their way to Ceuta hoping to be allowed into Spain to work there. When they heard in Ceuta that this wasn't possible and the information they heard was wrong, they returned home. Which means this is not how you can treat asylum seekers. International law dictates that each claim has to be assessed individually. Because each person might be in peril, persecuted, seeking shelter. And in fact, asylum approvals in the UK show that the majority of applicants make valid, truthful claims.

Someone might also want to ask about the costs. Keeping a warships and enough navy personnel at sea 24/7 to deal with immigration is quite expensive.
