I can't say I'm finding any of what is happening now at all laughable, EV

Though it is deeply ironic that our Home Secretary is framing an immigration policy that would have prevented her parents, and those of other Cabinet members, from immigrating to the UK...

Boris de Pfeffel Johnson was born in New York.
Priti Patel is Ugandan-Indian.

Laughable really, isn't it ?

Well Mr Jones could be sued for libel if that was untrue, but it isn’t and he won’t be. Boris has consistently made racist and homophobic remarks.

Imagine the court case if he tried to sue ???

It is scary that just by being there BJ is encouraging the emergence of far right groups. There has alwys been an undercurrent of prejudice but until now it had no stake in legitimate politics. Now it has.

Greymar we already saw the start of that on BBCQT. People think they now have ‘permission’ to openly mouth their vile views.

to more and more hate crime, people feeling it's OK to say vile things, people despising the so called " PC Brigade", more ghettos, more ignorance.

“We are ruled by a prime minister who has a history of racism and bigotry and who – quite unlike previous Conservative leaders – is idolised by far-right figures and movements, trashing the demarcation between centre-right and what lies beyond.”
Owen Jones in today’s Guardian.

So where is this going to lead?
