Also, the Justice Department have again filed tenuous criminal charges against her father. Having failed twice with other cases to convince a Grand Jury that there was any actual evidence, this time they are bypassing a GJ and trying to prosecute him on charges that have twice previously been investigated and dismissed as lacking in substance. One former prosecutor has said "The charges against Comey were a "revenge-fuelled attempt by Donald Trump to have his Department of Justice find something that might stick"." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckly0xqjnlwvo

But that "someone" is POTUS, and his acolytes and enablers will do anything to please him.

There are many statisticsl twists to this. One is that males between 18 and 35 commit proportionally far more sexual assaults than the total male population, and a large proportion of the immigrants fall into that category, but whether any individual immigrant is more likely to offend than a Brit, I don't know. It is certainly more likely to be reported in the media.

From a REDDIT discussion - quotes taken from the Economist article ; "This suggested Afghans are convicted of sex crimes at seven times the British rate—a far cry from Mr Timothy’s “over 20 times”, but disturbing nevertheless (see chart)." "here age-standardised analysis exists for those countries, the over-representation shrinks, as in Britain, but it does not vanish. Looking at convictions by ethnicity, rather than nationality, is more reassuring. The Ministry of Justice produces detailed data on prosecutions and convictions by age, sex and ethnicity. We used these to repeat our age-standardised analysis, for the same 2020-22 window. Our results suggested that Pakistani, other Asian and other non-black minority men were no more likely to have been convicted of sex offences than white British men." "And the numbers need to be kept in perspective. In 2010-12 Afghan nationals were convicted of 92 sex crimes; in 2022-24 the total was 102. Ten additional sex crimes, after the Afghan population has roughly tripled, is not an epidemic." "

Ramaswamy is a total shit, and hopefully this ends Vance's chances of being the Presidential candidate for 2028.

The Burnham Years - Can the new(ish) broom sweep clean?

Err, no "he" hasn't. The letters might come from the HMRC team that is responsible for dealing with that group of people, amounting to about 850 thousand people, but the letters have only been sent o a small fraction of them, "... in the low hundreds" according to HMRC. -

Is English comprehension really so difficult for you ? -
When does xenophobia cross into racism? The inference Farage was msking by exploiting this image of people fleeing civil war is obvious. And he could not avoid the similiatity to this Naxi propaganda film "In October 2025, YouGov found that 47% of Britons considered Reform UK generally racist, while 43% said the same of its voters." https://theconversation.com/will-reform-uks-racism-scandal-cost-votes-heres-what-previous-polling-tells-us-294707
