About those figures. From Pew.
The unauthorized immigrant population in the United States grew to 11.0 million in 2022, according to new Pew Research Center estimates based on the 2022 American Community Survey, the most recent year available. The increase from 10.5 million in 2021 reversed a long-term downward trend from 2007 to 2019. This is the first sustained increase in the unauthorized immigrant population since the period from 2005 to 2007.

However, the number of unauthorized immigrants living in the U.S. in 2022 was still below the peak of 12.2 million in 2007.

I wonder who’s working their butt off for cash in RL’s garden on a boiling hot day or cleaning the house, looking after Ma, etc. Illegal migration will stop when flag waving Americans stop using their labour. Which obviously they won’t until robots are up to speed in 50 years time.

I suspect that what he means is that the veneer of "Not a racist but..." will be dropped.

In the US, some on the Right call it the great 'replacement' theory, supplanting the native population with newcomers who have no cultural or historical ties to the country.
A very mealy-mouthed and even, arguably, supportive way of approaching a long-since-discredited far right conspiracy theory of the particularly frothing kind.

Cunt.

A new low...

For context:

David Lammy LLM, MP, FRSA:
Born in Holloway, Lammy attended The King's School, Peterborough. He studied law at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London and was called to the bar in 1994. He later studied for a Master of Laws degree at Harvard University, becoming the first black Briton to study at Harvard Law School. In 2000, Lammy briefly served in the London Assembly before being elected to Parliament in the 2000 Tottenham by-election.
Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Public Health in 2002 and Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Constitutional Affairs in 2003. He was promoted to Minister of State for Culture in 2005. In 2007, Gordon Brown appointed him Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Innovation, Universities and Skills before Lammy served as Minister of State for Higher Education from 2008 to 2010.
At the 2024 general election, Lammy returned to government and was appointed foreign secretary by Starmer in his new government.

Hit piece on Starmer and Harris, based mainly on watching Fox News and apparently knowing what was going on offscreen.

Cunt roundup. First of all, people are attacking traffic wardens, hee hee, can't say I condone it, but I condone it:
No one can condone these vicious assaults on low-paid staff simply doing their job. But it's not difficult to understand the frustration which tipped some people over the edge and led them to resort to violence.
Besides, look at where these attacks are taking place! Bradford, Wolverhampton, Oldham, That London. Low paid council jobsworths (knowarramean?) versus White Van Men (his capitalisation).
The introduction of fiendishly complicated parking apps, which can only be accessed by smart phone, appears to have been designed deliberately to confuse and extract fines.

I've described before how replacing pay-and-display machines at my local parade with an app-based system, subject to the unreliability of the patchy mobile phone signal, tripled parking charges overnight
One, you don't have a patchy phone signal in fucking Enfield. Two, they're not that complicated. You've just got zero technical savvy and/or fat fingers.
Fortunately, physical attacks on traffic wardens while reprehensible are still few and far between. One would be too many. But I'm prepared to bet...
Hee hee, it's just like that hilarious bit in Lock Stock... where Rob Brydon gets pulverised for no good reason!
Wardens are given no discretion and are incentivised to hand out as many fines as possible.

Zey are only obeying orders, but confrontations with furious White Van Men trying to make an honest living are a dead cert.
Fucking hell, who's writing this shit? The racist old lady from Alan Partridge?

Anyway, onto other matters:
A former police officer's daughter has been jailed for three years for posting explicit naked photos of her father's ex-mistress on a sex-for-sale website. One question: Where did she get them from?
Guess one would be his phone. Guess two would be another website. How the fuck do you manage to mail in your copy?
They said you were getting old if you'd never heard of Kurt Cobain when he died. And that was 30 years ago. Now I'm positively ancient, can someone tell me exactly who Liam Payne was?
Just fuck off, cunt. If you don't know who they are, why mention them? If you do and are just trying to get a rise out of those silly young people, you're still a cunt.
Pride Month. I don't want to ban it, but I've never understood why this self-indulgent circus has to last a whole month.

After all, we only have one Remembrance Day. And as for 'raising awareness', is there anybody unaware of the noisy LGBTQWERTY+ lobby? The love that dared not speak its name won't shut up these days.

Nor do I see why taxpayers should have to foot the bill.
1. Just one Remembrance Day, and a few weeks of performative bollocks running up to it.
2. Fucking hell, you know if you wait any more they'll make it compulsory?
3. According to your own article, "Public bodies, including the police and NHS, spaffed £650,000 of taxpayers' money" on Pride events. £650,000 over the whole country, over a month? And how much extra business was generated by all those events? How much healthcare spending was saved? How much goodwill generated? For about £21,000 a day across the whole country? Sounds like a fucking good deal to me. Just like it was all those years ago when English Democrats guy was taken apart over it.

Verdict: Cunt.
