Yes and if you push them they're often quite open they want a kafala system with no route to citizenship. Which is why they're all so obsessed with the "Boriswave".
BeijingPalmer@beijingpalmer.bsky.social · 19h agoI think it's key to understanding their worldview that they imagine a world not *without* immigrants, but one in which immigrants' inferiority is permanently asserted and they become a subservient caste. All these people worship the Gulf States.
Oh my god what TF is wrong with #BBC #BroadcastingHouse? They have got KATHLEEN STOCK on to do the review, SPECIFICALLY to talk about Jason Arday. When she was one of the most egregious examples of the pile on, just days ago. I have turned the radio off. Shame on you BBC.
Sunday Telegraph reports on how Miles Routledge advocating total remigration & hoping for a new Hitler by 2039 was no barrier to Restore Britain accepting him into Rupert Lowe's Cromwell Club. www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/202...
Very much this. There is too much excusing of people as 'being paid to hold these populist & neo-Nazi beliefs' [often allegedly by Russians]. It's utter nonsense – they really do believe this stuff. It's high time we (collectively) accepted that.

I wish media outlets would describe Nathan Cofnas as a racist rather than a "self-defined race realist" which doesn't mean anything to most people. His writing meets any definition of racism however narrowly and cautiously drawn.
Two Black mayors took cities that the country loves to write off and made them measurably safer. That’s not a fluke. That’s a blueprint. Chicago and Baltimore just posted numbers that should be front-page news. They’re not. We need to talk about why. 🧵 www.theroot.com/opinion-blac...

Miles away from Farage’s stunt in Clacton, Liberal Democrats are beating Labour in Devon and Reform in Yorkshire. Stunning victories for hard working liberals - who turned up to their counts!
it's hard for non-perverts to understand how many perverts are out there. My daughter, now 20, gets a lot LESS hassle in the street from ADULT MEN now that she's NOT wearing a school uniform. When she did, it was a daily occurrence, multiple times a day in a walk to school that took c 90 seconds
Wow this is a bad result for Farage. In the most Reform friendly seat in the country should get more than this - and Binface’s result shows once again that the centre and left will vote for literally anyone to try and stop him.

I guess once you know this stuff the dominant narrative makes no sense so it wouldn't occur to most people who don't spend all their time engaging with this stuff.
Playing tennis today with a group I don't know well and we started talking about small boats and there's just so many misconceptions (like they get normal benefits, that they can work if they want etc...) These were smart professional people who read the news.
I decided to click on Acrobat’s ‘generate podcast’ option for an invoice I just opened.

Best job was doing IT for the NHS. The money was excellent, the job environment was centred around a commitment to provide quality service and data security, and everything ultimately centred on patients. The NHS has problems, but they are not problems that will be solved by outsourcing IT.

Weird watching the right-wing columnist cohort try to collectively pull the handbrake on ethnonationalism. Like the world's biggest hotdog man convention.

The second high streets announcement from the new administration, alongside business rates cut for pubs, clubs and music venues. Suggests growing recognition that policy needs to shift us away from retail-dominated model. But this must be start of something bigger.

Better cycling cities are not just "more bike-friendly." They are also more equitable in access to cycling between genders. This means that infrastructure, safety, and policy improvements tend to benefit women more by removing barriers that affect them disproportionately.
More than half of accounts posting about violence in Belfast & Southampton on X were based overseas. Only 4 of the 12 most-seen posts were from the UK. X is now "“a weapon of choice” for hostile foreign actors seeking to manipulate shocking & divisive content". www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...
