To be increasung concerned about Restore Britain.

[NoisyHiker]

I know many people don't like Owen Jones, but I found this article deeply disturbing.

I am a child of immigrants, and my children are mixed race. So things like this are really starting to worry me.

I completely understand why people are angry at the current rate and quality of immigration (my own family are also disgruntled with it). But Restore want to deport even those who have citizenship.

And I am genuinely concerned that things are going to get worse than Farage if the government don't get a grip on this.

Musk wanted talent visas to support his various business interests and the MAGA movement said no. He used to be a Democrat, but was radicalised by the horror of not being able to protect his son from trans activists.

Well... He's also insane TBF.

He is! Really strange man in lots of ways. But the visa thing is bloody annoying for kids like my oldest son, who is in STEM, as there is almost no industry here anymore. British students can’t even apply for summer internships over there thanks to Trump’s visa changes. I get putting your own citizens first in the job market, but not with internships.

Don't you get it? They want a foreign underclass that they can exploit and discriminate against at will.

How do you explain his own campaigns director advocating for an ethnically - and religiously- homogeneous society?
Knowing the US well, this reminds me of the people who supported Trump when he said he had nothing to do with Project 2025 and lo and behold his administration is full of P2025 supporters and very much implementing it to the letter. Politicians will say one thing and do another, what a surprise.

To be honest, I haven’t seen that. I don’t agree with Lowe on the death penalty, but I kind of understand that if you sat through several weeks of rape gang testimony you’d want the perpetrators dead. The scale and horror of what has been perpetrated can only real be described as a war crime. That these girls have then had to continue seeing the same men in their local area must cause an ongoing trauma. It’s all so upsetting.

The girls were utterly failed, no question about that. The perpetrators are absolutely disgusting criminals that need to be severely punished. Death penalty is a tough debate - I personally don't believe the state should have the power of life of death over anyone. I get the sentiment though, especially in these cases.
But what I'm talking about is different: Restore's rhetoric is not linked to empathy for the victims, it's a considered ideological agenda that is being pushed by their donors. This is not neutral. Ethno nationalists and Christian nationalists in the US are powerful backers of Restore. Many of their aims overlap.

I agree with you entirely in the death penalty. I don’t know if you are right on the party’s funding etc. Broadly speaking, I see them as one of many parties. Yes it’s a dynamic political landscape, but ultimately the British FPTP system punishes extreme positions. You have to be a broad church with a centrist gravitational pull to win a majority.

Oh please. Elon Musk’s daughter wasn’t radicalised. She choose to transition and seem perfectly happy with her choice.

He's a terrible father who has no contact with her because he’s too entrenched in his own right wing political beliefs.

I wrote that he was radicalised.

Apologies, I misread!

Have you hit a spare room? I don't take up much space & I'm good with kids & animals!

Yes he is, but he’s the current ‘right type’ of racist. Anti Semitism is fine, no other racist is. 🙄

Does he not distinguish between the current Israeli govt and Jewish people generally.
