Blaming asylum seekers for homelessness? What about the 720,000 empty homes in England, and the 1,627,450 second homes in England alone.

Blaming asylum seekers for expensive food shops? What about the £3,100,000,000 profit Tesco made last year?

Blaming asylum seekers for expensive energy bills? What about the £438,000,000,000 made by just 20 energy companies in profit?

Blaming immigrants for not getting an NHS appointment? What about the 260,000+ migrant workers keeping the NHS going? And what about the 25% real term cut in NHS funding, think that could do it?

Blaming people on welfare for a lack of money to fund the NHS? What about the £36,000,000,000 tax gap due to avoidance and evasion by the elite?

It's time to realise it's not immigrants, asylum seekers or people on welfare causing you any harm, it's capitalism and the mega rich hoarding all the wealth.

I was on the anti-Tommy Robinson demonstration in London on Saturday. It was a wake-up call to end all wake-up calls!

The following was written by a doctor at St Thomas' Hospital and deserves to go viral ...

'I was the anaesthetic consultant on call at St Thomas’ Hospital yesterday. It is on the south side of the bridge that these racists marched over for 5 hours; right under the windows of the hospital chanting their hateful, vitriolic, violent slogans.

It was not lost on me that out of my team of 15 I was one of only two white British members of staff. The NHS would collapse without the remarkable work that colleagues who are immigrants and the children of immigrants do.

This “protest” was not peaceful as we know. Many broke through what were pretty puny barriers to get into the hospital grounds. Security (all non-white and being incredibly measured) had to fend them off at the main entrance. No police. No other help. Lots of very scared non-British workers inside the building. Lots of the staff on duty with me were really scared about getting home safely. Many booked rooms in the nurses’ accommodation overnight because they didn’t dare leave. I drove several to nearby stations to avoid what was by 5pm an intimidating, abusive, drunken rabble.

I think NHS leaders and the government need to denounce the overtly racist elements of the march (i.e. most of it) and publicly support non-British NHS workers. They must stop equivocating for fear of offending a group of the electorate that they foolishly think might vote for them, and take a damn stand. They are leaving a vacuum for the radical right; either fight or step aside and let someone else try to save the soul of the country.

I was shocked to see lots of families with their teens proudly marching. People need to get involved and counter this appalling rhetoric. It’s completely disgusting. We need to try to understand why they believe the far right’s lies, counter those lies and offer a genuine alternative for ordinary people otherwise we will be in the US’s shoes with Farage at the helm.

I will do whatever I can to help in this cause but it is urgent. Labour are not doing anything effective. Those groups/parties planning to provide an alternative need to get their A’s into G and start campaigning loudly. Farage spent the summer holding weekly press conferences while the government went on holiday.

I felt embarrassed to call myself British in front of my incredibly brave but distressed colleagues yesterday. I’d welcome everyone’s view about the most useful steps that I and others who are equally appalled by yesterday and the rise of the far right here can most usefully do to fight back.

Wishing everyone a peaceful evening. 🕊️🕊️’

British values are a set of core principles including Democracy, The Rule of Law, Individual Liberty, Mutual Respect and Tolerance for those with different faiths and beliefs.

Millions died in WW2 to defend these values don't let the racists and thugs deny them.

Angela Raynor had to resign because she evaded taxes by securing a home for her disabled son.

Equally questions surrounding Nigel Farage should not be swept away. He stated he had bought a house in Clacton then changed it to his French Partner paid for it.

Why did she buy it? Did she really want to live in Clacton? Or was it simply to reduce Farage's tax bill? Deeper questions need asking about the source of the funds - did Farage give his Partner the money to pay for the property? If so he is the beneficial owner and should have paid stamp duty.

If you support the resignation of Raynor you should support the investigation into Farage.

Governments always have a choice what Starmer & Co have decided is both immoral and unethical and will force millions into poverty.

Absolutely disgraceful by the Labour Party today. To demonise the most vulnerable and weak in society is beneath contempt.
