I know that the bastards have won by me even being annoyed about this, but:

#ArmisticeDay, unless it coincides with #RemembranceSunday, is *not* a big deal for the whole day. There is a 2 minute silence and that’s it: everyone gets on as usual. See, for example, below.

If Armistice Day beyond 11.02am were that special, would they be holding the UK’s biggest entertainment explosives event in the afternoon of 11 November?

#SuellaBraverman, directing Chief Constables to clamp down on public displays of support for #Palestine and #Gaza:

“Behaviours that are legitimate in some circumstances, for example the waving of a Palestinian flag, may not be legitimate such as when intended to glorify acts of terrorism.”

This will sound very familiar to some of us.

Much as I fucking hate thick fascist ambitionbot #SuellaBraverman with every fibre of my being, I am keeping things in context by considering that the headlines generated by her speech today are basically the same things that have been parroted by Tory Home Secretaries since at least Theresa May, and in fact the rhetoric coming out of the #HomeOffice on immigrants was pretty fucking appalling under Labour too.

“It’s like being bait in a trap. We feel as if we are being hunted by the Home Office, when all we want now is a system that treats us fairly, a swift interview, a stable future and a voice. Please be our voice.”

We were held on Suella Braverman’s Bibby Stockholm barge – and we’re terrified of going back there

We asylum seekers feel part of a cruel game being played by ministers, with little regard for us or public opinion, say two anonymous asylum seekers

Presented with the question of whether the Home Office is evil or just shit, I would say that it is almost certainly evil *and* shit.
