  1. Priti Patel's Ugandan father fled Amin's regime to India. No doubt her parents worked hard to settle in England and to make their daughter's life comfortable. What happens? She creates a hostile environment for people just like her parents. I bet she sleeps like a baby!!

  2.  @leohoddle7203  'Most sensible people'. By which you mean Sun readers that deny Covid, that think climate change is a hoax, that socialism leads to 20 million deaths, that voted Brexit due to a mistrust of foreigners, that capitalism is the only way, that voted for 'Boris' because he's positive, that led Britain towards a national authoritarian state like Hungary. "The insularity of the English, their refusal to take foreigners seriously, is a folly that has to be paid for very heavily from time to time." George Orwell 'The Lion and the Unicorn'

  3.  @leohoddle7203  Macbeth: It is a tale, Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. So many things. First: ‘Do we dismiss the will of the people?’ You are parroting the words of Mrs May here and you seem unaware of how limited representative democracy works in the UK, which is in complete contrast to direct democracy that May referred. Second: ‘should we become like the EU and have an unelected unaccountable commission …?’ Well, you must be referring to the European Union generally as the Commission is one of the three legislative bodies, which includes a representative elected by each member state. I assume that you are also thinking of how undemocratic the European Parliament is. Here I take issue. After the 2019 European elections, the Brexit Party had 29 MEPs, thanks to the proportional representation which is more indicative of ‘the will of the people’ than FPTP. Anyway, this caucus of 29 MEPs was three times larger than the total number of MEPs of Slovakia, yet they still peddled the narrative that the EP was undemocratic. Also by unelected officials, I also assume you are unaware of how the civil service works in the UK. By the way, Farage’s election record on FPTP in UK: 7 times stood: 7 not elected; European parliament using PR: 6 times stood: 5 elected. Another case of 'killing the goose that lays the golden eggs'. I am not out to change people’s minds, but if you make a claim, you should support it with facts, with evidence and without constant virtue signalling by calling things ‘woke’.
