Today Nick Ferrari asked if treaties like the ECHR & the Refugee Convention that were drawn up in the wake of WWII are still relevant to modern Britain.

I said the context of racial hatred towards Muslim immigrants now echoes the hatred of Jewish immigrants in the 20th century. We need these laws.

More othering.

Labour MPs should remember what happened to the Lib Dems in 2015 election after they backed austerity.

Voters don’t forget betrayal. Support Tory policies, and you’ll face the same fate. #Labour #Austerity #LessonsFromHistory

"In 1930 Republicans, in an effort to alleviate the effects of the Great Depression, passed a tariff bill, the Hawley Smoot Tariff Act, which raised tariffs in an effort to collect more revenue for the federal govt. It did not work & the US sank deeper into the Great Depression"

Steve Bannon whipped up the CPAC crowd by talking about the possibility of Trump staying in office for a third term—and concluded his speech by giving a provocative gesture that resembled the controversial salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally last month.
Steve Bannon Mimics Elon Musk’s VERY Controversial Salute
The president himself has suggested the idea of staying in office many times since moving back into the White House.

Katie Lam (Tory MP in Kent, & Shadow Home Office minister), says "a large number of people who came here legally" "need to go home".

She only wants "culturally coherent" people to live in the UK.

Her racist statements are a gateway to fascism

And it won't end with these recent migrants and refugees.

Anyone of colour will soon be game, and many of us have been warning of exactly this for years.

It's so obvious where this leads.

Driven by Musk, fuelled by Restore Leader Rupert Lowe and whipped up by the fear mongering rhetoric of Reform and their media outlets.

This is what happens when you stir hatred against migrants.

It end with burning homes and cars and children fleeing for their lives

#BBCBreakfast: "... families had to be led to safety through the flames.. it wasn't just homes, cars were also torched by young masked men in these predominantly unionist streets, but the target here was immigrants.."

This is what the likes of Reform are inciting.
