Yeah, aside from a brief moment during the aftermath of the general election, Corbyn has never been very good at the whole media thing.

Also, there is the fact that as Leader of the Opposition, he's actually not entitled to secret briefings regarding affairs of state.  Whether or not he actually gets them is up to the discretion of the PM and I believe, in this case, he was actually not briefed on whatever was shared at the COBRA Committee meeting.

I mean, we should probably wait for the OPCW's report before we bring out the heavy guns on the issue, just to cover our own backs and make it clear that, unlike Russia, we actually give a shit about international laws and institutions, at least to an extent more than Russia does (and as a subtle reminder that while the UK is leaving the EU, it is still part of a vast range of such bodies and alliances and so isn't simply acting unilaterally).  On the other hand, the possibility of anyone except Russia using a Russian nerve agent to kill an ex-Russian spy who turned traitor seems perishingly small, so I can also see why people feel Corbyn is being unnecessarily nitpicky.

At the very least the UK should be looking to revoke the broadcast licences of RT and Sputnik and pass an equivalent to the Maginstky Act to seize the assets of ill-gotten Russian wealth. And even though Chinese epsionage is more pervasive, Russia needs to be designated the top state security threat by MI5 and MI6, and the NCA needs to place a higher priority on Russian organised crime and money laundering, which is an often used cut-out for FSB active measures overseas.

So, the government has been attempting to deport legal citizens because they cannot meet the insane requirements set by the Home Office to "prove" they have the right to live in this country.  In addition to that, legal immigrants have been denied jobs, access to welfare and services for the same reason.

Given our current PM was the last Home Secretary, this is not a good look.

Also, UK police turned down a request by the French to raid the offices of Lycamobile, who are suspected to be involved in money laundering for organised crime.  When asked why by the French, the FCO mentioned that Lycamobile are financial supporters of both the Tory Party and donate generously to The Prince's Trust.

Worth mentioning at least one person has possibly died as a result of the government's policy here

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/apr/18/mother-of-windrush-citizen-blames-passport-problems-for-his-death

QuoteThe mother of a Windrush citizen who died suddenly last month after being classified as an illegal immigrant and sacked from his job believes the stress caused by his immigration problems was responsible for his death.

Dexter Bristol, who was 57 when he died, moved from Grenada to the UK when he was eight in 1968, to join his mother who was working as an NHS nurse, and spent the rest of his life in the UK. He was sacked from his cleaning job last year because he had no passport, and was denied benefits because officials did not believe he was in the country legally.

He spent the last year of life trying to untangle his immigration situation, repeatedly attempting and failing to get the Home Office to acknowledge that he was not an illegal immigrant. Until he was sacked, he had no idea there was any problem with his immigration status.

He was born a British subject in Grenada, but had never been able to get a British passport, and struggled to gather the extensive documentation required by officials to prove that he was not an overstayer. On 31 March he collapsed in the street outside his home and died. Ahead of an upcoming inquest, the cause of death is unknown.

One step away from full blown Papers, Please levels of insanity.

So the policy is now openly to support money laundering and tax evasion, its the Brexit survival strategy as far as I can tell.

The truth is out now. London moves from de-facto to full blown tax haven. Rest of the country burns. Business as usual, just a little more up front.

Yeah, I've been pretty much expecting that too.  Especially given the Carribbean tax-haven to London funny money pipeline.

Of course, part of the value of the UK in that role is it's membership in the EU, once the money comes into the London banks, it will funnel through the entire EEC with no barriers.  After Brexit...well, there's a lot of Russians with Maltese passports these days.  We may have to settle for laundering money for shitshow regimes and criminal syndicates unable to crack the EU market.

And of course, the more we do that, the more suspicious the EU will be of our banks...

We have a fucktard state-level congressman that wants legal immigrants to have a yellow star on their driver's licenses.

Yeah, I saw that.

I'm convinced 5 years from now we're going to look back on now as the golden years by comparison.  What's coming next, is going to be fucking terrible.

Jesus Christ, the "go home vans" that May approved of as part of the "hostile environment" policy was called Operation Vaken.

Vaken means "vigilant"...in Old Norse.  Who the fuck names operations against immigrants in Old Norse, other than people who jack off to Nazis?

The only other group I can think of is actual Nazi's.
