Not interested in watching far-right propaganda videos. Can you say what your point is in your own words?

That demo featured plenty of Nazis. I note you didn't post the video of the demonstrator audibly calling, on camera, for Starmer to be assassinated. (Of course, Starmer himself would no doubt declare they had 'legitimate concerns', as pandering to the far-right is his 'thing').

It's not surprising given his past choices. He wants to be the power behind every far-right throne and get government kickbacks to fund his dumpster fire tech.

I'm finding how this story has developed to be really odd:

Epping migrant sex offender to be deported 'this week' - Lammy

Hadush Kebatu was arrested in north London, two days after being mistakenly released from an Essex jail.

www.bbc.co.uk

My understanding of events:

1 - asylum seeker comes to UK, gets put in one of the 'asylum hotels'.
2 - guy then sexually assaults two women and gets sentenced
3 - apparently thanks to bureaucratic screwup, he gets mistakenly freed
4 - manhunt ensues, he gets caught and deported

How does an asylum seeker who has been sentenced for a serious criminal offence not get deported straight away? I'm thinking that this is purposeful immigration theatre to placate the right wing.
