New political compass test. My results are yellow and the green is the average of all users. I think this means I'm a dirty centrist again. gotoquiz.com/politics/polit…

@Alrightthenills @Rossva1189 @TrevorWillow3 @EssexPR A bit like Labour "rubbing the Rights face in diversity"...

@Rossva1189 @TrevorWillow3 @EssexPR it seems pretty mad (if not illegal?) - pretty much calling for a state-sanctioned 2-tier system whereby the national government dictates local policy based on whether they are considered "left" or "right"

The left have exposed themselves… and all it took was a clever Reform UK trap. They want working class communities to have the migrant accommodation, not them.

@TrevorWillow3 @Rossva1189 @EssexPR Whoa there, fash...

@Rossva1189 @EssexPR I welcome refugees who contribute. I want controlled immigration that ensures those who add to our society through valuable contribution are processed quickly and safely and begin contributing, including those who are refugees. I want those who aren’t, returned quickly. You?

@Lynn06783085 @EssexPR That's because the Left doesn't really have any principles that guides their view on anything.

@EssexPR Yes it’s very much “refugees welcome” but not in my home, road or town🙄 Nobody does hypocrisy like the left does hypocrisy!

@CountBiffa @SwanHefner @EssexPR But you want to impose more migrants on Reform-voting areas despite those areas voting against them? If the country overall votes for Reform, then detention centres will be built as national policy. It makes sense to place them in areas most welcoming to migrants.

@SwanHefner @EssexPR The proposal isn't that we 'have to live with them' though. You're misunderstanding. Many of us live near asylum accomodation and have no problems doing so. We don't want concentration camps, and we don't want them imposing on us locally for daring to vote against them.

The most Green Party story I’ve ever read. The Greens reparations officer, Antoinette Fernandez, who supports the idea of Britain paying trillions of pounds in slavery reparations, is descended from a Nigerian royal family that traded slaves. One of them owned 1,400 slaves.

@GBPolitcs If Green wins the next general election it's their policy to flood everywhere, including Reform-voting areas, with migrants. But when Reform says it'll put migrants in Green areas they don't like it...

🚨NEW: Zia Yusuf reveals he has has been "shocked" at how many of the "left wing media and establishment politicians" have revealed they view living near asylum seekers is a "punishment"

@NickyMccann @griff___0 @jiminycriket @Adrian_Hilton And the headteacher of a school has no expectation of anonymity with regards to her role.

@griff___0 @jiminycriket @Adrian_Hilton Open source information, dickhead.

I don't know what school this is, but unless the headteacher has invited a Reform UK politician (and others) to rebut this disinformation and to give a balancing view, this electioneering is a blatant contravention of Part V, Chapter IV, Sections 406-7 of the Education Act 1996.

@Babygravy9 They look ill.

Amsterdam has now banned all public advertisements for meat products, in a bid to change "social norms" and reduce citydwellers' meat consumption by half by 2050. Green politicians like Anneke Veenhoff and Anke Bakker spearheaded the ban.

@Robert_Palgrave @Nigel194288 @DEBORAHHERRON12 @JuliaHB1 They actually did it though... The difference is that Blair did something to those that didn't vote for him that he knew they wouldn't want, as punishment, while Reform are planning to do something that Green voters are saying they want. Except they're hypocrites of course.

@Adiabat79 @Nigel194288 @DEBORAHHERRON12 @JuliaHB1 It's a reported conversation vs a policy announcement. Weird you can't see the difference.

This policy is genius. Everyone can get what they vote for - what's not to like?!

@gotitverywrong @baconrecon @BBCPolitics How is Green voters voting for migrants to be allowed access to areas that don't want them there better than Reform putting migrants in areas that do want them?

@baconrecon @BBCPolitics GPS trackers being really open... you really don't understand this argument do you. The point is say we'll detain people in green areas because they vote for immigration is non sensical. They don't see why immigrants should be constrained - i don't agree, but thats there policy

Reform pledges to open migrant detention centres in Green-voting areas bbc.in/4el7Ocx

@Robert_Palgrave @Nigel194288 @DEBORAHHERRON12 @JuliaHB1 He specified the Right getting their nose rubbed in it, so it's the same.

@Adiabat79 @Nigel194288 @DEBORAHHERRON12 @JuliaHB1 And he said he would do that only for those who voted Tory? No. So nothing like the same.

@Robert_Palgrave @Nigel194288 @DEBORAHHERRON12 @JuliaHB1 Blair and his "rubbing the Rights nose in diversity" stuff.

@Nigel194288 @DEBORAHHERRON12 @JuliaHB1 Tell me one other time this has happened in the UK.

@peterrhague My timeline for the past couple of days has mostly been theists (with a few atheist+ whackjobs) who are clearly still just salty about what he did decades ago.

Being made uncertain about the nature of consciousness after a conversation with an LLM is a lot less embarrassing than believing in flying horses. Yes, Mehdi, we remember.

@s8mb Everyone missing what he's saying are doing it on purpose. They're the salty theists from 20 years ago, or the mental atheist+ lot from 10 years ago.

Actually reading this makes it clear that Dawkins hasn’t actually been pwned by AI, Twitter is just incapable of understanding speculative inquiry or irony.

@SirSimonClarke @ActualJC What's wrong with placing these migrant centres in areas that are most welcoming to migrants?

@ActualJC No. Read my tweet. I am saying that using their placement as an act of politicised collective punishment is illogical and very likely illegal. So nobody will be detained and millions will be wasted in court.

We need to stop illegal immigration, but this is abhorrent from Reform. Zia is proposing the siting of detention centres expressly as a form of political punishment for people and places that don’t vote Reform - not just Green, but presumably Conservative, Liberal and Labour too. (And what about Reform voters in those constituencies?) It would almost certainly be deemed an abuse of ministerial power for political purposes, and as such would likely be stuck down in court before ever being implemented, wasting millions for the taxpayer without detaining anyone. If it were to go ahead, it would still represent an appalling waste of public money as these sites might well not be in any way suitable for the proposed centres, or near the other infrastructure required. What’s worse is that he is doing all this to provoke outrage and draw attention to Reform a few days out from the local elections. Reform know what they are doing. But this goes beyond a pre-election stunt. It’s declared as a major policy commitment, and should be treated as such. We need a proper plan to leave the ECHR and restore safe border controls, not gimmicks that wouldn’t survive first contact with reality.

Academia *knew* entire fields could not be replicated. They watched junk science proliferate and said nothing. This was not oversight. It was cowardly complicity.

@Indoor_Carrot @MaceAhWindu The fact the audience sympathises with him is what makes the movie interesting.

@MaceAhWindu Yep. The fact its shown from his perspective makes the audience sympathise with him and downplays just how awful his actions were. He's a horrible person.

I maintain that the movie would’ve been a lot better if it was from her perspective and the reveal that Pratt woke her up because he was ‘lonely’ was saved for the climax. Pratt being an antagonist makes it a lot more entertaining.

@thelefttake @LeeHarris Post the response then. 🤷‍♀️

@LeeHarris Why did you cut off Zack Polanski’s response?

Trevor Phillips just DESTROYED Zack Polanski on national TV. This is the first time I've seen an interviewer PROPERLY hold an extreme, far-left politician to account. In a normal world this would permanently end his political career. Utterly DAMNING for Polanski. 🔥
