Kidnapper convicted of FIFTY crimes since arriving illegally aged 14 wins bid to stay in UK https://mol.im/a/16175847 

 

Historically, when voters repeatedly perceive institutions as producing outcomes profoundly at odds with their conception of fairness, security or common sense, support for parties offering much more radical institutional change can increase.

 

The stronger the perception that conventional political parties cannot or will not resolve cases like this, the more attractive politicians promising to fundamentally change the immigration and human-rights framework can become.

This is true, historical evidence for it is demonstrable. 

 

What is also true is that when those entities promising and then delivering such radical change force a society into years of darkness where a great many innocent people of all demographics suffer and die in the name of that "fairness, security and common sense" (and historical evidence abounds on that too), those same voters have that blood on their hands.

 

So, unfair as the choice may appear, those voters will have to pick their poison and their responsibility for it.

After Mother and Father being labelled as ‘unacceptable language’ as well as calling for Pal Action to be desubscribed and charges dropped….Zack Polanski, again. 

While I think these are strange things to pick out, my feelings on ZP have crystallised. As feared, he's allowed the usual far-left, anti-Semitic suspects to colonise his party and it will not end well.

 

It's hard to decide whether the Zionism motion they're debating at conference is profoundly ignorant or downright racist. Either way it is poisonous. Personally think there's every chance this'll screw their chances of involvement in a potential future coalition government - doubt Burnham touches them with a bargepole.

The modern Zionist movement is totally racist there's not even a debate to be had on that. Just speak to them and listen to what they say. 

 

It's just a question of whether this type of racism is acceptable to you or not. The UK has generally supported racist regimes in the past eg South Africa, Chile etc.
