  1. I’m desperate for a revival of the British Empire, but I didn’t imagine it would be done like this hahaha

  2. It should be impossible for foreigners, or those of foreign descent, to stand for election or hold positions of authority in the UK.

  3. Tower Hamlets needs to be taken over by technocrats.

  4. The article covers it but they ultimately can’t be doing their job as UK councillors properly if they have time to do this.

  5. I feel like a sensible and consistent rule of thumb is you can’t be an effective representative to two groups of constituents. You have to pick one.

  6. Tower Hamlets is a known epicentre of corruption and shady governance for a long time now, and the fact that nothing has been done about it is truly amazing.

  7. Shouldn’t be anyone with dual nationality able to stand for local or National government or be in the Lords etc.
