Yesterday far-right troublemakers targeted hotels containing asylum seekers.

One was in Tamworth, a few miles north of here.

In another in Rotherham they tried to set a Holiday Inn on fire with people still inside it.

    People are not afraid of this "Far-Right" label anymore. Government and media did this.

    This has been coming for years. Disrespecting your citizens has consequences.

    You might think the solution lies in the endless debates between left and right, working class and middle class, about how to slice the pie more fairly. But here's the kicker – you won't find the resources to fix this mess amongst yourselves. They're all tied up in the pockets of the most fortunate. Let's look at the cold, hard facts: The richest 1% in the UK own 23% of the country's wealth, while the top 10% hold a staggering 44%. Meanwhile, the bottom 50% – that's half the country – are left with just 9% of the wealth. This isn't just inequality; it's a system designed to keep us divided and conquered.

    Nationwide is a contradiction of far-right
  • Anyone remember the police pushing over old ladies because they were protesting against covid lockdowns? I remember.

    Why is it that in the last 3.5 years this extreme amount of migration is happening in first world countries such as England and the USA? It seems coordinated to me.
  • The true tragedy is that the murdered little girls will be sidelined by the media frenzy over the demonstrations. 😢

    Time for the UK to start listening to to the people..."Make your laws more strict on crime" !!

    The most vulnerable?! Can you show the public out of those refugees, how many are actually vulnerable?!
  • 1,200,000 immigrants in just 2 years. 35,000 homes built a year. That's 1,130,000 extra people that are competing for housing with those already here. Rents are the highest ever. Wages are dropping for many workers because so many are willing to take lower wages. We need to limit immigration to the numbers of housing available AND wage protection. Also, the people are being robbed by the super rich through our bills. The super rich own all our utilities, trains, supermarkets, shopping centers, land. They are raising our bills way above any cost increases. They are transferring the worker generated wealth to the super rich. So we are becoming much poorer, all while the rich Tories brought in 1,200,000 immigrants on low wages. Novara Media on YouTube blocked me on live chat for saying "1,200,000 immigrants have arrived in last 2 years. How has this affected housing availability, increased rents, pushed down wages?" We need to be able to talk publicly about the reality of 1.2 million in 2 years and how that actually damages housing available, pushes up rents and lowers wages.

    400 arrests in a day, courts running 24/7 Why couldn't this have been done to desl with the grooming gangs, the rampant knife crime and robberies?

    Two tier governance, two tier media, two tier policing.
