    I mean of course, the Tories have clearly taken up the Republican playbook of making things a little better in the first year or two and if things are going south they’ll waste all the budget on useless shit, pass a bunch of unsustainable but populist policies and underfund police and social programs to such an extent that things like this happen.

    Then you can easily blame all of the countries ills on the side in power when the next election rolls around.

    “A Conservative spokesperson said: “Rishi Sunak as prime minister made it clear that we must stand up to extremism in all its forms.”

    Whose slogan were they chanting, as they set fire to local shops and threw bricks and street furniture through hotel windows? I think it was “STOP THE BOATS! STOP THE BOATS!”.

    I wonder what horrible far-right hatemonger put that into their heads?

    I hope Rishi is going to help us find the vile extremists who invented and promoted this “stop the boats” slogan.

    Perhaps whoever they are could be shipped off to Rwanda, which, as a landlocked country, doesn’t have much use for boats.
