SUTR? Stand Up to Racism? What do you mean 🤔?

Not sure if that link works and it’s X but article on GB news about it

All 12 Reform councils have said they won't remove the flags

I felt a bit sick tonight watching the news at 10 about the hotel ruling. I feel like the fascists have won and will be empowered by this to go even further.

It is feeling like that, Zonder.

I thought there were ten.

For the love of God do you all want me to start singing?

Bang bang you shot me down.

<pulls up a chair>

I've put you on the spot, now, @placemats

I have been a little too suspiciously silent.

<hastily shoves leaflets under sofa cushioms>

😁

I just don't understand where the hotel occupants will go. I know where some want them to go but that's not going to happen.

Absolutely sickened by the football style chanting . I hope the Lightning Seeds / Frank Skinner/ Baddiel speak up.

I just heard someone on the radio saying they thought they could all go on one of the inhabited islands in the UK in tents! We really have lost our humanity.

Aside from anything else how much would that cost??

The idea that some people want internment camps chills me to the bone.

But Australia!

They'll go BACK won't they? Whatever that means. And however they would manage that. Just go BACK. Easy.

Lost our humanity. That's what all this boils down to.

Yes, indeed it is. I actually incorrectly wrote inhabited instead of UNINHABITED! Crazy...

The brain's a funny thing - I read it as uninhabited so your meaning was clear!

Same as @Piggywaspushed

There's not that many in England that are actual islands which don't disappear according to tides:

I was drily amused by Truss's Island. Send them all there?

The man it is named after is genuinely related to Liz.

According to some of the less intelligent on MN and FB etc. migrants all get housed on brand new estates, jumping the queue over loyal British residents. So maybe that's what will happen.

The hate and lies are sickening.

This is what Farage and his fans want

• just detain & deport 30k people (with nowhere to hold or send them)
• just take people back to France (invade French waters without permission)
• just send people back to Afghanistan (how?)

And the press is happy to let him shout unchallenged

Posts have been enlighting on how there is an agenda, from posters popping up from other forums to threads with the 'lefty bullies' narrative.

Family in fear after Tommy Robinson shares video of black man with white granddaughters.

Exclusive: Olajuwon Ayeni racially abused and falsely labelled a paedophile as far right weaponises clip of family in park

Ah, yes.
St. George.
A Turkish immigrant.

To be totally frank, Farage and co just want to bring the government down and this is the issue they know they can hang it on.

I'm reminded once more of pandora's thread about the rise of unchecked racism on MN.
