London definitely has to deal with the consequences of immigration as anyone stuck renting there for a lifetime will tell you. The elite has quite obviously chosen to impoverish working class Londoners by allowing immigration to outstrip housebuilding for a generation.

We do integration so much better than mainland Europe - it's one of our big success stories and yet so much of our politics is built around denying it.

Everyone who has spent time on 'the left' has met hundreds of people like this. Achieve absolutely nothing with your life, operate with no stakes, criticise everything for not being perfect, ruin every else's efforts with abstract nit picking..... A poison.

The UK asylum acceptance rate is 76% (2022). It was 12% under Blair in 2004. The Tories have liberalised the system at every turn.
Those who think Britain is this awful racist hellhole simply ignore the statistics
George Lansbury archives are now online. This is a great resource for labour historians and a fascinating insight into the life of the Labour Party politician and one-time leader sslh.org.uk/2024/04/25/geo…

Having worked in CSR for a while I can tell you this as a fact - big city/ canary wharf firms hire abroad partly to harp on about diversity whilst running huge scale tax avoidance. They run local diversity schemes in tower Hamlets, but the kids get outcompeted by posh foreigners.

Surely splitting the vote to keep Tories in power is an achievement of sorts
UK asylum settlement relies on the good nature of the deindustrialised North to make a London feel better. media luvvies virtue signal about asylum, but refugees aren't settled there - they get shipped to places like Hartlepool, one of the highest density asylum areas in Britain

This is typical of those who know so little about a topic, but who hide their ignorance behind a veil of sneering, arrogant and snobbish propaganda that seeks to bully the general public into their camp, rather than debate complex issues honestly.
This is a genuine, tangible front in the fight for reparations for slavery. There is no way on earth Drax should receive a penny for land he owns due to a lineage of slavery. theguardian.com/world/2024/apr…

@LabBeyondCities Comprehension not your strong point.
@Samfr Bearing in mind Hartlepool’s history with foreign chimpanzees let alone people, potentially being sent there would probably be a far better deterrent than Rwanda ever will be… My dad is a ‘Monkey hanger’ so I’m allowed to say this!
@Samfr @DavidHeadViews You don't expect joined up thinking from a brexit and militant supporter.
@LabBeyondCities There's also a Princeling trend in the banks: hire the offspring of clients. The spawn of, say, a Chinese or Nigerian politician counts toward diversity targets. British public school, US university. Nothing diverse about them
@DespoticInroad So they are basically saying they would rather build houses than do performative anti racism because they understand that material needs affect everyone,
@redrumlisa @AaronBastani I don’t even disagree. Apologies if I sound like this is a wholly negative assessment! I’m not a Trot but I think the contemporary left could learn a lot from a materialist class-first politics that dropped the post-grad idpol garbage.
@DespoticInroad @AaronBastani So do I sadly they dont - I am a mere class essentialist or sometimes class reductionist. But the middle class would say that wouldn't they? They wouldn't want their class privilege out on show

@dai_alectic Derek Hatton - Inside Left The other bit with lots of biro is from Panitch - Searching for Socialism
@EvanCull Well, no, because as I said, most of the left at the time criticised them for their social conservatism. But it seems to have been totally forgotten.
You’d never see a post like this aimed at some middle-class Brits drinking in a ski resort. The so-called ‘white working-class’ (which is a problematic term to begin with) have now become a symbol of racism to many in the middle-class left, to be sneered at and disgusted by.
The English: if they're coming over here they should accept our culture! Also the English:
This. Whether we like it or not, South Yorkshire is still living through the consequences of decisions taken by Margaret Thatcher. We’ve made huge progress, but our buses, our economy, our communities have been shaped by her legacy. We’re not just going to ‘get over it’.
@olivercoppard just brought up Thatcherism on the mayoral debate and the conservative candidate told him to “get over it”, some of us don’t have the privilege to do so!

@LabBeyondCities They're an embarrassing sight. But that's no excuse for saying the Flag is representative of that.
@LabBeyondCities Make it a national bank holiday and crowd out the morons
@LabBeyondCities Maybe if successive governments actually championed st George's day, made it a national holiday, not be frightened to be seen to celebrate England and its glories not just jump on the bandwagon come a sporting event! We might see our flag as just that our flat not idiots above!
