GBNews contributor says that we should “castrate every asylum seeker”.
This is where the discourse is at among the right-wing commentariat as they hurtle toward their inevitable final solution to the immigration “problem”.

Haha, of course.
Raise the price of petrol and diesel, @MansourBinZayed.
Let’s see what decision they come to after that.

Burnham - so far, maybe a 3/10, if he completes his policy programme and wins the next election, could be the best PM of my lifetime.

Remember how the fucking right-wing spent months calling Adolescence unrealistic because the main character was white and apparently white boys don’t do stuff like this?
‘I don’t know where to begin…’

Even worse given Danny Tommo has five children.
They will probably grow up resenting their absentee criminal father and have every right to do so.
Risking the privilege of having your freedom to cosplay some vigilante hero of the “people’ is the highest level of stupid. And absolutely no one should feel sorry for dickheads like this. Play stupid games, win the the most stupid prizes.

Under the Criminal Damage Act 1971, the basic offence is destroying or damaging property that “belongs to another.”
The prosecution doesn’t even need to name nor identify who owns the property being damaged.
Maybe don’t talk about legal matters you don’t understand, meathead.

Not an endorsement of this post, but this is what our government is currently allowing to continue.
This is a humanitarian crisis. People are drowning and I refuse to believe there is nothing the government could have done in the past five years to stop this regular occurrence.
A child left behind, injured in the water, while his father gets onto the boat and leaves French lifeguards to save him.
What kind of father does that?
Crashing waves. Chaos. A child struggling in the water, while his own father boards the boat rather than staying to protect him.
I believe scenes like this expose the failures surrounding these crossings, from the charities involved, to the actions of the French authorities, to the decisions being made by the British Government.
People are becoming increasingly angry about what they are seeing.
I genuinely fear that if confidence in the authorities continues to collapse, some people will eventually try to take matters into their own hands.
To be absolutely clear, I am not condoning, encouraging or supporting violence in any way, shape or form.
