1) Love, here is now their home, that’s what settled status means. Duh.
2) Culturally coherent group? If the original reporter actually pushed her on this point, she’d probably still be stuttering now to try and back up this horseshit view.
3) It’s taken 48 hours for the printed press to pick up this racist dogwhistle in human form’s comments. That’s how prevalent casual racism is in the media.

I think her statement probably sounded better in the original german

When did it become morally fashionable to play politics with the lives of legally settled families here?
Also, this woman’s ancestors were Holocaust refugees.
Is she not grateful that her ancestors were settled by the UK, instead of told to “go home” to a fascist regime?

This is genuinely deplorable. One of the most evil things I’ve heard a British politician propose. This goes far beyond what any other western hardline on immigration governments are doing.
It also blows up the current UK-EU deal, but I feel like the debate shouldn’t be about practicality but instead about how evil it is.

Racism and other fotms of bigotry are being normalised, you see it on this sub at times as well

This is pure racism and badenoch (who would be forcibly removed too under this criteria) needs to call it out. These are people who have a legal right and are contributing. The idea one daft Tory thinks they know best

Why are the Tories all wearing green these days? Brown shirts would suit them better.

And that’s the one who’s up against Polanski on Peston tonight? Fucking hell, was JD Vance unavailable or something?

What a stupid arse this twerp is! It’s not wrestling, where you can say crap for entertainment. This is the warblings of a contributory-deficient, anti-intellectual oxygen-waster.
I’m all for reducing the numbers of people in the UK, but instead of targetting those she’s after, it would be best to get rid of people like her and other useless individuals who put stupid ideas in the way of actual progress.

Calling it now she is either kicked from the Tories and joins Reform or just jumps ship within a month.

How is she supposed to represent her immigrant constituents saying shit like this about them?

Can I start proposing that Tories and Reform voters be deported yet? They are obviously incompatible with British values, after all. And if they’re not immigrants, we’ll just look through their family tree far back enough until we find some tenuous connections with the Normans or the vikings, and thus invalidate all their generations of Britishness.
If that logic is good enough for the (brown Muslim) goose, it should be good for the (white “British”) gander, after all.

Her family grandfathers family were mostly murdered by the Nazis and her grandmothers family fled to the UK to escape the Nazis.
How do these people learn nothing even from the history of their own fucking family? I don’t get it.

You can’t rip legal status from people who have their lives invested in this country. The USA has been doing this with the Dreamer status folk and other legally settled country’s people. It’s repugnant.

Isn’t respecting people’s rights our culture? Liberty, equity, rule of law, religious tolerance etc. We went through a lot to ensure we have rights and the state can’t just take those rights away from us. So idk why so many are keen on making this play to give future governments the ability to strip us of our rights, just to punish immigrants. Seems short-sighted.

The fact people and politicians feel ok saying this shit in public is depressing indicator of where we are now and will be in future, fuck me why does it all have to get racist and authoritarian now I’m an adult. 👨
