A leading Brexit campaigner has been recorded praising Nazi propaganda. Andy Wigmore of the Leave.EU campaign said Nazi techniques had been "very clever", admitting that the Brexit campaign group fronted by Nigel Farage used outrage techniques to gain attention. Speaking to academic researcher Dr. Emma Briant, who recorded the conversation, he said: "The propaganda machine of the Nazis, for instance - if you take away all the hideous horror and that kind of stuff - it was very clever, the way...

The Home Office was responsible for destroying thousands of landing card slips recording Windrush immigrants’ arrival dates in the UK, a former employee has revealed. Despite warnings that the move would make it harder to check the records of older Caribbean-born residents experiencing residency difficulties, it was decided in 2010 to destroy the disembarkation cards, which dated back to the 1950s and 60s, when the Home Office’s Whitgift Centre in Croydon was closed and the staff were moved to another site. According...

Andy Anokye, 31, is accused of raping four women as well as charges of false imprisonment and ABH

Jeremy Corbyn says the Conservatives "don't want you to vote" in the upcoming elections after the party refrained from posting anything about the looming deadline for registrations. You are required to register by 17 April to vote in the local and mayoral elections in England on 3 May, but the Tories have yet to send out any reminders about the cut-off. That's in stark contrast to the elections in 2016, when they sent out a prominent warning on their Facebook...

Labour MP David Lammy poured scorn on the Conservative Party in the House of Commons today, describing their "small U-turn" on the Windrush generation as a "day of national shame". Speaking after Amber Rudd announced that a new task force would be set up to help Commonwealth immigrants facing deportation he said the government should "guarantee the status of all the Windrush children caught up in this crisis". The Tottenham MP said it was a "national shame" that it had taken so...

The government has admitted that some people from the Windrush generation have been deported in error. Great Britain asked for people from Caribbean countries, in the 50s and 60s, to plug a gap in the workforce. They entered the UK in the first wave of Commonwealth immigration 70 years ago. They were dubbed the Windrush generation - due to a ship, the Empire Windrush, which arrived in the UK,from the Caribbean, in 1948. Shockingly, some may have been deported for...

A worrying new report has highlighted how Tory cuts have caused a crisis in homelessness among young people. The documents discovered that delays in supplying Universal Credit payments on time were forcing people onto the streets, in desperation. With no access to welfare payments they have no option but to sleep on the streets, or in refuges supplied by charities. According to the survey carried out by Homeless Link, a charity that works with homeless people, over ninety per cent...

  To read some of the coverage of the limited air and missile strikes against Syrian military targets on Friday April 13 2018 one might have deduced that this was Iraq War II the sequel. On the one hand May and Trump were busy congratulating themselves on their “tough” military response to the Syrian regime’s murderous use of chemical weapons against civilian targets in Douma. On the other, elements of a Stalinized Left who are reluctant to recognise the threat...

  Prime Minister Theresa May followed the US President's announcement of joint military action against Assad, insisting the strikes would be "targetted" and "limited" to degrade the Syrian forces' chemical weapons capabilities. As air raid sirens and explosions were heard in the Syrian capital, Theresa May said that Russian denials of Syrian responsibility for last weekend's chemical weapons outrage and blocking of a UN Security Council resolution had left the US, UK and France with no choice. The timing of...
