Yeah, that fucking annoyed me. What Jenprick said was virtually the actual definition of xenophobia.

Talking of…….how craven has the BBC become

BBC News: BBC apologises after Jenrick accused of xenophobia

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1dxqwkwx5qo

The BBC is doing too much apologising and too little investigative journalism.

Chris Philp has made an absurd attack on the Government over somebody he doesn't like getting found Not Guilty by a jury- unlike someone they do like, who pleaded guilty. Dominic Grieve called it out vey strongly, questioning what a jury verdict has to do with the Government, and whether the Conservative Party still supports them. As Grieve says, this really isn't the standard that should be expected of the Shadow Home Secretary. He should know seeing he used to hold that position himself until (allegedly) being demoted because Murdoch didn't like him.

This really is no longer the time to quietly handle the Ming vase.
What I really want to see:

1. Keir Starmer, or one of his senior cabinet ministers to use Spaffer's expensive press room to make regular announcements. Keep it short and punchy: Updates on hospitals repaired, failed asylum seekers deported , and hooligans arrested. Play this to the gallery "In the same period in 202?, the conservative administration deported zero failed asylum seekers"

2. When seniors form other parties advance a misleading claim, meet it assertively. Trash their fake facts and numbers. Reiterate that this is a government that intends to govern according to the law of the land. Maybe drop a few easter eggs regarding former tory ministers with their beaks in the till.

3. Tear down the "debating point of the day" form the far right. "An entertainment channel claims that all Londoners are prisoners in their homes due to rising crime. Here are the latest crime figures - not perfect, but compare with the situation five years ago when we had 20,000 fewer police officers.

I want to see a situation where the likes of Jenrick, Philp, Farage and all his little goblins know that lying will be met with push back.
Their debating trousers will be metaphorically pulled down in public, and them made objects of ridicule.

It'll take a better media than we've got.
