Tories + Tory Media + 55 Tufton Street are copying the **Demonisation** tactics/rhetoric of Donald Trump and Republicans => calling all Mexicans criminals + drug dealers + rapists
Othering is largely driven by **Tories and the Right Wing Media**, as opposed to personal contact
Othering is a process that denies the Humanity of targeted groups and promotes inequality + discrimination + persecution
Nationalists/Fascists use Othering to divide people + marginalise + exclude + dehumanise + persecute + attack + human rights violations + Terrorise + unfairly blame for the Tories failures
by Manufacturing our UK Asylum Seeker Crisis the Tories will try to take away Human Rights + Refugee Rights + Protest Rights + reshape government and institutions
Can we just be honest with how incredibly racist the whole tory party open is.
I use to think Priti Patel was as bad as it was going to get, but Suella is to a whole new level of cartoon villain. I hope whoever is next is not even worse!
Maybe Albanians have no real business seeking asylum in the UK, a country where they have no cultural ties to, where there is no great diaspora.
Maybe the vast majority of Albanians seeking asylum here aren’t ‘trafficked’ but seeking employment in the underground economy in an effort to send money out of the UK.
Maybe one needs to look at the incarceration rates in this country, and it might show that the majority of these people are not individuals fleeing persecution but seeking to enrich themselves through criminal acts.
PMSL you mean as opposed to Cruella’s disgraceful comments?
I can’t wait for the street wars to begin on this rock of cancerous mutts.
Has anyone noticed she has the same chin as Andrew Tate?
At least she wasn’t slammed. It can’t have been that bad.
