The way these far right riots are progressing is truly terrifying

It’s a surprise no-one has died yet. Unless this can be knocked on the head it’s only a matter if time.

Instead of reacting with terror, get out and organise to stop them. Fear leads to learned helplessness, which is the only way such a small minority can cause so much damage. If we’re out in the streets to face them down, they’ll quickly slink back under the stones they normally hide under.

The two aren’t mutually exclusive. You can be terrified and still join counter protests.
And I also can’t fault anyone for not feeling able to put themselves in the same location as violent racists.

Meanwhile Yaxley-Lennon is stirring things up whilst sunbathing in Cyprus.
Ironic that he wants to be as brown as the people he hates.

Damn, I would’ve expected this kind of rhetoric from “ReformUK” or one of the other alt-right parties, but to hear this from someone meant to be representing labour is horrid. Such little empathy towards these people fleeing the horrors of their home countries - deport people like her to Rwanda then see how they feel about what they’re advocating for.
Edit: Also, glad to see a new alternative frontend for Xwitter since Nitter got nuked out of existence.

I’m not clear what you are angry about.
Tamworth benefits from tourism which is restricted due to hotels being unavailable for tourist purposes.
She is clearly stating that temporary accommodation has now expired and a better plan needs to be decided. The amount of articles stating that the hotel placements are a horrible idea that forces people to live in a single room without food preparation areas, without clothing washing and drying facilities, and without private areas are awful has been numerous. The link wasn’t her telling asylum seekers to go home, it was standing in parliament calling on the government to stop putting people in unsuitable locations.
This is precisely the conversation we need to have because ignoring it leads to stronger reactions, and ultimately right wing rhetoric of “stop the boats”, “deport to Rwanda”, and burning the hotels, etc.
Advocating for the people to live in a Holiday Inn for years at a time shows such little empathy towards these people fleeing the horrors of their home countries.
