oldbearchris.bsky.social @oldbearchris.bsky.social · 16/04/2026How do we flush half the annual budget of the NHS down the crapper implementing Brexit and then claim we have no money? EU divorce settlement £40 bill HMRC IT upgrade £20 bill Duplicating EU reg frameworks £10 bill Upgrading customs facilities £7 bill Two entire government ministries £4 bill etc 000
oldbearchris.bsky.social @oldbearchris.bsky.social · 20/03/2026I always wondered why Labour decided to pander to the Brexit ground that was already taken by UKIP and the Conservatives. 48% of referendum voters were ready and waiting to be represented. 070
oldbearchris.bsky.social @oldbearchris.bsky.social · 18/03/2026Why replace indefinite leave to remain with a system that reviews whether one can stay? The only difference is that you can then turn down some applications. People who have been allowed to settle legally will then be deported. Deporting legal immigrants is National Front policy from the 1970s. 001
oldbearchris.bsky.social @oldbearchris.bsky.social · 26/02/2026If they proceed with changing the status of people who have already been allowed to settle here, then they are a far right party. The people they attract in the short term have the most horrendous views, so they won't stay with Labour for long. It only shifts the Overton window towards fascism. 020
Reposted by @oldbearchris.bsky.socialDmitry Grozoubinski @explaintrade.com · 16/02/2026Won't be a revelation to anyone but the reason all the worst people on the right are pivoting to talking about race and culture rather than immigration is so they can keep banging the drum even as net migration figures fall (UK) and even reverse (US). This is the next step and it always was. 15567179
oldbearchris.bsky.social @oldbearchris.bsky.social · 04/02/2026Changing the status of people who have already settled here is the very definition far right politics. Labour are done for me. 040
oldbearchris.bsky.social @oldbearchris.bsky.social · 21/01/2026Right wingers have basically been throwing crazier and crazier policies at the wall until they think that something might stick.

oldbearchris.bsky.social @oldbearchris.bsky.social · 03/12/2025The people that Labour are trying to appeal to here will never vote Labour. This is because, amongst that cohort, the least offensive of the views held would horrify most sane people. That's why they will never be satisfied by any party that is capable of governing the UK. 000

oldbearchris.bsky.social @oldbearchris.bsky.social · 29/10/2025Back when I was at Uni, there was a policy: "No platform for racists or fascists" Since then these people have been platformed, beginning with Farage being on every BBC show possible, even before his party had won a single council seat.

oldbearchris.bsky.social @oldbearchris.bsky.social · 16/09/2025Perhaps effort should be put into leading opinion rather than pandering to it. The fossil fuel lobby have managed to persuade many people that climate change is not real, so why can't this be done? 251

oldbearchris.bsky.social @oldbearchris.bsky.social · 21/08/2025BBC 'journalism' simply means they looked through their address book of Oxbridge/private school contacts and rang a few old chums for a chat.
