The “unwanted truth”. The Twitter-twits and similar people will close their ears. They want to believe that mass immigration has nothing at all to do with the housing crisis, or low pay, restricted State benefits, crowded schools, hospitals, trains etc, even water shortages.
They also prefer to believe that you can import half a million or a million persons per year, mostly from very backward parts of the planet, to the UK, without any effect on public safety, a decent life, standards in all areas, you name it.
As Hitler said of the people of the Weimar Republic, “they want not only their daily bread but also their daily illusion“.

āTerrible news for Ukraineā – European experts on Trumpās choice of J.D. Vance Donald Trump’s choice of J.D. Vance as his candidate for the post of vice president of the United States has again raised fears in Europe that the former American leader will take a businesslike approach to foreign policy and will pursue it based on the principle of āAmerica First,ā writes The Guardian.
This, as the article notes, could lead to the United States insisting that Kyiv give in to Vladimir Putin and ask for peace with Russia. āIt’s bad for us and it’s terrible news for Ukraine,ā said one senior European diplomat in Washington. āVance is not our ally.ā
Foreign diplomats and observers often call Trump’s current policies a “black box,” saying it is impossible to know for sure what the unpredictable leader will do once in power. Some are comforting themselves by suggesting that leadership candidates such as former US national security adviser Robert O’Brien will maintain the status quo on foreign policy while Trump focuses on domestic affairs. But the would-be US president now has a much more energetic deputy who will stoke Trump’s skepticism about Ukraine and Europe while urging the party to pursue aggressive trade and foreign policies in other parts of the world.“

“Last week I made the decision to cancel my Conservative Party membership after nearly a decade. The party has failed to set out a positive visionĀ on housing, the environment and investment, as well as a pragmatic stance on Brexit. It has also drifted from the values of inclusivity and aspiration which drew me to the party under Lord Cameron.Ā This isnāt me leaving the Conservative party, itās the Conservative party that has left me.Ā Read my interview with the Telegraph on why for the first time I am politically homeless.”

Once again, I refer readers to what Khrushchev said about Malenkov, namely that the “filing clerk” type should never be given power. That’s Starmer, in essence, a would-be dictator but in the guise of a careful, over-controlled lawyer.
