Still think this is a good idea, tbh - I’m still shocked by the number of empty flats in the new builds around Vauxhall that were purchased as investments. Those flats would be perfect for young people starting out - and would do far more for the country than a nice big return on investment.

There seems to be two types of Labour. Labour which has more traditional Labour values. And Labour which apes the worst of the Conservatives, Reform UK, and Restore. I'm not a Labour voter, but I much prefer the firar type Labour to the latter.

I think once black clad men are interfering with rescues at sea, we are past "legitimate concerns". Once they're attacking boats, and risking the lives of everyone on board, it's just thuggery. The Home Secretary's statement is on the side of criminals. There's no other way to read it.

This seemingly idiotic Piddington bullshit needs to be called out for what it is, rather than as some justifiable act of communal victimhood. And any responsible govt minister and media outlet would say so too. Nothing ‘legitimate’ about this. Just nasty prejudice thinking it’s got a point.

If that sounds crude, it's because the politics of this are very crude and we should be clearer about what these people are really saying.
It is essential to the anti-refugee right that asylum seekers are never presented as desperate people in need of help, but instead as an invasion force. That is where the language of fighting-age men and sexual violence comes from. We barely even notice it anymore, but our entire narrative around asylum has shifted into an invasion storyline, which even a few years ago was only heard in the wilder territories of the far right.

So instead she does what Labour ministers did under Kier Starmer and will now evidently do under Andy Burnham, and pretends that all this ignorant zombified racist Facebook tosh is, in fact, reasonable and valid.
If only our problems could be solved by ushering this village out of the UK and putting it into some kind of international quarantine zone. But unfortunately, they can't, because there is nothing special about Piddington. It is consuming the same poisoned media diet as the rest of the country and parroting the same toxic lies.
It can be stopped of course. But that means we have to challenge it, rather than pay lip-service to it.

If "legitimate concerns" were considered to excuse illegitimate methods, then nobody from Just Stop Oil or Palestine Action would have been arrested. So we know it doesn't. In fact that phrase is only ever used in one context. Only in that context is uniformed mob intimidation "peaceful protest"

The UK government ceasing automatically to support almost anything the government of Israel does is a major shift. The next step should be to rescind the ban on #PalestineAction, to stop treating protesters as terrorists, and to acknowledge that those seeking to disrupt a genocide may have a point.
