Banned as well, obviously

Dude, technically I'm not even allowed to carry my frigging pocket knife with me.

Needless to say I still have it on me, cause it's a bullshit law and there is no way to control this nonsense.

Can't we just fry this guy? Stone him? He's barely human excrement.

@icemaη I'm sure you've seen the governments anti immigration white paper today.

I don't know if I would stay if they extend the time to get indefinite leave to remain to 10 years retrospectively. I'm 1.5 years away from it and they would effectively rip it away from me. I'm not paying another £10k to the government in visa fees and IHS.

Glad to see the government is learning all the wrong lessons from Reform wiping the local elections. I’m only 2 years in, not sure if I want to wait another 8 years before I can truly settle down. It’s fucked up.

Good news. One of the few times I've agreed with a decision made here in a long time.

I didn't expect them to support it, especially after the first minister was against it.

@icemaη well, that Yvette Cooper bitch already confirmed they want to make the changes retrospective.

@JuveJay What’s your opinion on the government’s plan to change the ILR qualification period for Skilled Worker visa holders in the UK from 5 to 10 years?

I don't know enough about it tbh.

My only view is that we shouldn't be turning away real skilled people who benefit the economy, especially those with 'credit' in the bank.

I understand the concerns about influx of people from abroad. I don't recognise the city centre of my home city anymore, it's changed for the far worse, there are people just walking about all day on their phones or in small groups just hanging out as they have nothing to do. But I think it's a separate issue, I don't see the benefit of targeting skilled working people.

I agree with getting people out of the country, or any country for that matter, who can't speak the language, especially after living there for years. It's pure ignorance.

What a moronic use of political capital. People were going to forget about the winter fuel changes eventually.

From a Reddit post. Pretty good take imo

Hot take: This cursed island is obsessed with nostalgia above everything else, and that's why Reform will inevitably gain power

Oasis were a nostalgia band the first time round. In the 1990s they were using 1960s guitars and trying to write songs like The Beatles. The only contemporary thing about them was their tracksuits.

The reunion has captured the public mood and we now have heavy nostalgia for the nostalgia band.

Stay with me, here's my point:

Thatcher was a nostalgia act for Churchill. She was using "family values" and flag waving rhetoric from an earlier time, with a promise to bring Britain "back" to a nonspecific Golden Age. Now Reform have captured the public mood with a nostalgia act for Thatcher, playing all the same hits which the country already knows all the words to. We've reached peak post-modern, post-irony culture and are now nostalgic for things which were trading on nostalgia the first time around.

(My point is not "everyone at the Oasis gig loves Farage". I'd be there in a bucket hat and Euro 96 shirt myself if the tickets weren't so expensive and if the venues were smaller. I unironically listen to Standing On The Shoulder of Giants )

It’s inevitable. Farage is a genius. How else does one of the architects of Brexit, one with a German passport no less, get away with that catastrophe with not even a blemish? Now he’s got the hottest party in the country.
