Best will in the world , Lofty.
None of that makes it right.

He said: "Britain is an inclusive and tolerant country, but the public expect that people who come here should be expected to learn the language and integrate."

Seems fair enough to me

I'm talking about the stupidity of including a phrase pretty well-lifted from the most famous race-baiting speech in recent history.
And then expecting it not to dominate the narrative.
I know what he means ie "How can we be friends if we can't talk to each other."
Comes across, though, as "We don't want these strangers here" - which is exactly how Enoch and the Nationalists mean it.

Well, one thing it's proved. Yet again. Where Bunter leads, others (including Prime Ministers) follow:

Well, there's one thing we can all agree on anyway. That Enoch Powell was right all those years ago. Perhaps he is due a posthumous apology from Edward Heath and the others. If any of them are in a position to give one.

Thanks MM, and there was me just getting over my bout of depression.................😒

Todays figures on the UK's economy which exceeded expectations mean we are now the fastest growing economy in the G7

And praying that this growth surge is only temporary

They are absolutely desperate for this country to fail

Agreed. Speech was definitely a cock up by Starmer.

No, no, no. My brilliant idea for a TV drama or novel seems to be coming true.

That's unusual!

Meanwhile, more sex criminals and abusers being released from prison I see: www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/prison-recall-sex-offenders-shabana-mahmood-b2751493.html

Never mind, at least there'll be room for those who feel the urge to cut down a tree.

Indeed. Compared to recent occupants of Number 10, he's been a big improvement.

You mean level, not an improvement.
His 'smash the gangs went well yesterday.

Corbyn made a snide remark about Reform MPs sitting in front of him. How witty and cutting.
Lee Anderson retorted with a return snide remark and Corbyn put an official complaint in.

And these people are the people who you think are somehow going to save Britain? And are somehow an exciting new revolution in British politics? Oh boy.

I don't recall saying that.
