Why are there no big artists doing protest songs ?

  • You are mistaken and This ‘oh sorry, I’ll just go home’ is childish and naive.

    There are dozens upon dozens of ICE cases where people are routinely treated like this. A quick google is all you need.

    I’m not making any argument for the rights or wrongs of the matter, but this is a very typical encounter with ICE for a Visa infarction .

  • Her visa was dead. That’s the point.

    This is a completely typical outcome for anyone who doesn’t understand the terms of their visa under any administration.

    The trap it seems you and many others have fallen into, is the media using a middle class white girl along side emotive language such as “shackled” and “held with criminals” to elicit the outrage response.

    She claimed that the UK government is nowhere near austerity. This is nonsense.

    Austerity, in terms of government policy, refers to measures aimed at reducing public sector debt and budget deficits through spending cuts, tax increases, or both. This is exactly why the government is cutting disability benefits and austerity is, in any event, a policy choice, which Labour has taken.

    There is no public sector debt problem. There isn't a deficit problem in the UK. There is no need to balance a budget. Labour has chosen to make these issues. So it has chosen austerity.

    Reynolds did, however, claim such problems really do exist. She claimed that one pound in every ten the UK government spends is on debt interest. This is blatantly untrue. According to the Office for Bu
