When you have to laugh but you don't know why! Quality from larryandpaul.

I want to retire so badly after 40 years of this, but can't for at least 18 months because of legals, and probably far longer because of da monez.

I am so tired. I feel ok and then try to start work and it hits me like a wave.

What people conveniently forget is that before the war the UK closed it's borders to Jews trying to flee the Nazi terror.
There was the same kind of rhetoric then, from the very same newspapers.

@zimpenfish I think it's a figure taken from a report on displaced persons, and then they assumed they'd all want to live in England. It's all of a piece with those leaked messages revealing Johnson can't count.

Hello world! Elon Musk picking a twitter fight with Icelandic philanthropist and man of the year 2022 Haraldur Thorleifsson ended up being the final push that we needed, so now we are here on Mastodon.

@BBCNews The free speech brigade are some fucking woke snowflakes.

was factually accurate. 1. UK has fewer refugees than other European countries. FACT. 2. Language in the debate is redolent of the language used by politicians and media in 30s Germany. FACT. The role of the media is to seek out truth. Facts are quite important to that 2/3

The idea that millions and billions of people want to come to this neoliberal hellhole, that pays the worst pensions and benefits in Europe and is run by people who partied while people died of Covid, is hilarious.

But I ain't laughing.

Over 40 years ago I visited the Anne Frank House, Amsterdam. It’s always haunted me, particularly the basement exhibition on fascist parties - the National Front (later BNP) was marked out as a particular danger.

Yvette Cooper is wrong, we must draw comparisons with the 1930s.

the problem with normalising people *saying* stuff that's very extreme, even if literally everyone hears it and thinks "woah, that's too extreme!!", is that over time it normalises everything not-quite-as-extreme as that too, in effect it draws a new line in the sand

Why are @SkyNews casually comparing the number of UK asylum seekers with prisoner numbers?

What a shockingly inappropriate conflation and one which will only serve to further demonise innocent, vulnerable individuals seeking safety.
