“They want leadership. They’re so thirsty for it they’ll crawl through the desert toward a mirage, and when they discover there’s no water, they’ll drink the sand.”

So I am going to talk about the sand.

“That’s his record, those are his values, and that is exactly how he should be judged.”

I agree Rishi Image Just joking.

I forgive you.

I want to show you "mercy"

I have "moved on" you see.

The question is, where have I moved on to and why?

Nigel Farage wants to focus on Oldham and talk about languages

So let's travel to Oldham

I would like to dedicate this thread to Nadia Hussain. Thank you. For your work in helping others.

I am also going to talk about David and Nigel.

I would thank everyone that smears, insults, attacks or threatens the ICC and its Chief Prosecutor

It shows your fear of:
1) an application for arrest warrants
2) a potential trial

Imagine Hamas were doing this?

I would like to congratulate @TerraOrBust

They have identified a bona fide brexit benefit

No, no. Really.

They have.

I once wrote a thread
justifying leaving the ECHR
and
defending Boris Johnson from charges of racism

here I go on a journey where I ask the question , what happens if Rwanda succeeds not from the perspective of the refugee but from the exporting countries so

the Rwanda bill got Royal Assent this week

it is now beginning to ramp up the "regular" flights of asylum seekers to Rwanda

so let's assume Rwanda has the capacity to take all the "new" "asylum seekers

that leaves the backlog in the UK of course who are exempt

a) wrong ?
b) profoundly wrong ?
c) racist ?
d) islamophobic ?
e) some or all of the above ?

I am fascinated by the question from Kay Burley, "Isn't Rishi Sunak living proof that the party does not have a problem with Islamophobia?" Why should the skin colour or faith of the Prime Minister excuse racism, xenophobia or islamophobia?

Worse

Why should the skin colour or faith of the Prime Minister somehow be used to DENY racism, xenophobia or islamophobia?
