  1. I read that letter of projection and entitlement. I note you said, “You’re not breaking up with me, I’m breaking up with you.” Because my first comments on other channels were that it reads like a drunk teenager berating her ex! It’s so full of self justification and entitlement, I’m glad it’s out there. Not ONCE does mention policy in any other terms than, “broken promises.” Not a WORD about the good of the country. A Home Secretary who has made it clear from the despatch box that she actively despises the, “Guardian reading, tofu eating, wokerarty,” and the more than half of the country who disagrees with her, is unfit for any public responsibility.

  2. I’m going to keep saying it. Britain NEEDS population GROWTH. I get lots of responses on various comments. But always silence when I mention the demographic crisis the world is in, with its ageing populations making their pensions unsafe, and a desperate NEED for the sort of younger people who say no to dictatorship and yes to democracy, willing to risk everything to fight to get to a democracy like ours. They want the million or so jobs that we consistently turn our noses up at, cleaning, harvesting crops, serving fast food and delivering things. They are obviously industrious and hard working. And we need their economic generation and taxable income. Yet we act like there was ANY truth to this, “scarcity,” argument, when, “stopping the boats,” is actually CAUSING SCARCITY!

  3. Leaving the European Court of Human Rights won’t fix ANYTHING for the Tories. Did anyone listen the judgement? They made it CLEAR that there are countless other treaties that prevent the Rwanda policy! Including NATO and UN rules to which we are signed up.

  4. Now we can’t even deport Braverman to Rwanda, damnit!

  5. She’s totally, “tainted,” by the judgement. SHE prepared the case! SHE’S the one single person most responsible for the Appeal and what was in it! SHE worded significant portions of it and failed to even mention the UN and NATO treaties in it. This is NOT just a European law issue.
