Nearly six million people in England and Wales could become eligible to be stripped of their British citizenship without warning, under new plans proposed by the government.

New Statesman analysis of data from the Office for National Statistics also finds that two in every five people from non-white ethnic minorities (41 per cent) are likely to be eligible for deprivation of citizenship, compared with just one in 20 people categorised as white (5 per cent)...

The graphic in that article says there are over 400,000 people who were born here who could be stripped of their citizenship and deported. How can this be? They were born here. This is their country.

Is it just a coincidence that the majority of those under threat aren't white?

Fuck these racist fascist shits the grate British public elected to rule us. Every Tory-voting cunt in the country is complicit in this.

[Malcolm Armsteen]

Amen.

You'd expect Grieve's view to be the instinctive one for a conservative but how many Tory MPs will make a stand against this dangerous populist rubbish; more than five?

Plans to give the government power to ignore court decisions it doesn't like would amount to “tyranny” and spell the end of democracy, a former Conservative attorney general has said.

Dominic Grieve, who was the cabinet minister in charge of the judiciary under David Cameron, said proposals reported on Monday were “worrying” and would see the UK “no longer living in a parliamentary democracy”.

It comes after an ally of Boris Johnson told The Times newspaper that the prime minister was considering a mechanism that would allow the government to regularly strike out a list of judicial rulings it did not agree with. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/p ... 70625.html

Yeah, that'll work. Actual Cabinet Minister talking about part of his actual brief.

Sajid Javid was 'upset' at the Stratton video yesterday, apparently.

Anyone say Cleveland? Orkney?

Or indeed the fact that social services don't just deal (or certainly didn't pre-cuts) just with cases where kids are at risk of death. The social services can help struggling families get through difficult times. It requires serious engagement by the parents though- who won't even want the social services involved if they think they're about to take their kids away.

[Andy McDandy]

It's a very thin line between "Meddling do-gooders stick their noses into a family's private business" and "Why didn't someone act sooner?". I don't envy social workers at all.

[Watchman]

Indeed, such cases are very complex, and certainly beyond 3 word slogans

"Tyrannical". Tyrannical my arse.

"Tyrannical". Tyrannical my arse.

This political crank has only been a party member for three years. Sounds familiar.

Not wishing to downplay the serious of Covid, but I think there are a lot more pertinent examples of Tory leadership where the question of morality can be applied

Not just Penfold or Uncle Arthur then.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Incredible that Shaun Bailey turned out to be a liability.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Why did he resign, eh? Oh.

[Cyclist]

I suppose the BBC will get the blame for this story as well.

[Malcolm Armsteen]

Not easy to claim it was a few people getting together informally after work when you've got the caterers in.

[Boiler]

Oh, the Beeb will cop the blame and the story will be waved away as usual.

I'm waiting for someone to say they're fakes, or they're from 2019.

Considering this is a none exempt building unlike Downing Street then this is a criminal offence?
