Just highlights the absurdity of leaving the EU if the UK do exactly what the EU wants anyway because the UK is incapable of being independent.
They just hate migrants; they’d do anything to get rid of them. Enemy of my enemy is my friend type of logic.
The Guardian thinks of itself as a liberal outlet; yet by publishing this story, it is doing exactly what the government wants them to do. The value of the fear of being deported to like, Sierra Leone, is worth more to the gov’t than the actual deportations themselves. They are publicizing just that.
And of course the only thing London cooperates with Brussels on is reporting unwanted blacks and browns to faraway countries.
Down with the inhumane passport system. https://youtu.be/f-yJMwl2J8s
That’s a good move. It will stem the rising popularity of far-right parties. Europeans do not want their countries to be flooded with migrants.
It will stem the rising popularity of far-right parties.
Continues with a sentence straight out of the far-right fascism playbook
To the contrary, it will undermine the appeal of far-right parties. At the same time the centrist version will be milder.
speak for yourself
Europeans do not want their countries to be flooded with migrants.
Far right parties love to say that even when there are no migrants flooding them.
Giving the far-right this as a way to appease them, just validates their world view. Its not as if it is going to end with drastically reducing immigrants.
No, their rising popularity validates their view. By adopting their view but not to their extreme undermines their appeal. How can sending rejected asylum seekers to third-country hubs not reduce the number of migrants?
This is not how fascism works. If tomorrow there were no immigrants to hate, fascists will just point their hatred to another group: black people, gay people, women… anyone they can falsely blame for their grievances
Possibly, but presently, the rise in popularity of far-right groups in Europe is their anti-migrant stance. Centrist groups can undermine this support by adopting policies which control immigration but are not as harsh. For example, admitting only migrants with needed skills.
Appeasing fascists will always lead to more fascism, not less
No, centrist parties would be preventing far-right parties from getting into power by adopting those views which are popular with people.
Prevent far-right parties getting into power by adopting far-right policies!
Let’s assume that that’s actually a moral thing to do - ask Kier Starmer what adopting exactly that strategy has done for the popularity of his party and the far-right party Reform
The reason is that immigration may not be the only issue.
