Those protesters got it wrong! We want to end the system of oppression and discrimination against palestinians and replace it with systems of equality and self determination which isn't the same as calling to burn cities! Time for sensible people to take away the Palestinian

The Rwanda bill passed.

Very few asylum seekers will ever be sent there, but this morning, thousands of homeless men, women & children who came to us with nothing & asked for help but we left in limbo, have fear hanging over them of violent deportation to a dictatorship #r4today

To be completely honestly man only 2 out of 10 dentists recommended this toothpaste but they both have quite esoteric taste and are always early on things that later become cult classics

Kim Jong Un starves his own people.

Wow, Elon's politics are so mysterious and difficult to classify

Kind of appropriate that the ‘patriots’ choose to utterly shame our country on St George’s Day.

So the Rwanda bill becomes law, with Britain now an inspiration to the extreme right in Europe while undermining the rule of law at home.
Legislating that Ruanda is a safe country after the Supreme Court stated it is not, remains a dangerous precedent.

Only consolation in any of this is that the Rwanda policy is doomed to failure. Like Brexit the government will now make complete fools of themselves as they try to make it happen and if it wasn't set to cause so much misery and disgrace I'd be tempted to put the popcorn on.

Sure... if that talk involves Fox giving 24/7 coverage to make absolutely sure its viewers understand Republicans want to strip them of these entitlements so the money can be spent on tax cuts for the rich.

The US has got to get the hell over the idea that the cruelest solution is always the most effective. It's *babyish.*

My wife says I'm 'condescending', but she pronounces it 'condense-sending'. I can't correct her because that would be condescending, you see. It's killing me.

One simple but obviously implausible way to avoid this scenario is for Tories not to lie.

Fine. Let's form an orderly queue of all the Tories volunteering to go on TV to host their own destruction.

Laying waste, then California here he comes.

The intention here is clearly to get the Met commissioner fired for one cop’s altercation with Gideon Falter, and I’m mostly just thinking … did you see what Cressida Dick got away with? theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/a…
