I am sad, and fucking angry, at how my country is swerving to the right in support of racists and cowards.
The UK *needs* immigration. It doesn't need 'reform'.
@AlisonW It's like the whole nation is looking at what's going on in the USA and is saying "I'll have some of that".
@IcyBee @AlisonW About 1/3 from what I can see. The constant unchallenged barrage of bullshit from the ever present face of five jobs Farage is what makes me despair the most. Given 1/10 the scrutiny practically any politician on the left gets he’d be exposed for what he is.
@bjn @IcyBee
The big problem is that the BBC powers that be just love him to bits. 😡
@AlisonW @IcyBee Johnson appointed arch brexiter Robbie Gibb to the BBC board. He threatened to tear it down unless they swung harder to the right. I know some folks at the BBC, they aren’t necessarily pleased with all the goings on.
@bjn @AlisonW Two thirds, not one. Don't give non-voters a free pass. They bear equal responsibility for the results.
