How the f*ck can you be a patriot & destroy our NHS?

Underpay our key workers?

Impoverish our people?

Let our roads, schools, transport, councils, judicial system, etc go to shit?

You can’t

Happy St George’s Day to the patriots who actually give a shit about this country 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

The five people who died in the Channel this morning knew that there was a very real risk of death when they set sail in a small boat. At least, the adults did. Death was, to use a word in the news a lot this morning, a 'deterrent'. It didn't work.

Just off for a hearing in a rape case. Allegation reported in 2021, trial not before 2025, if we’re all lucky.

No podium speeches from the Prime Minister about this. No promises to magic up more judges, courts or lawyers.

Just silence, and the threat of further cuts to come.

If a Rwanda flight does take off…

Your bills will still be as expensive

Your wait for a GP/hospital bed will still be as long

Your court date will still be as delayed

Your taxes will still be as high

…but we will all be more more morally & financially bankrupt as a nation

If there were any justice…

The illegality and obscene reckless public spending of the Rwanda policy should see its architects jailed.

The brutal truth is that - if the Western media and politicians saw Palestinians as fellow human beings with lives of any worth at all - this obscenity would have been stopped a very long time ago.

Aside from the moral and practical vacuity of the Rwanda policy, one thing it illustrates - as we have been saying for years - is that the delays and shortages in the justice system could be fixed if the government cared to.

When they want to spend money on courts, they find it.
