Some of the comments about Kate Garraway show that for whatever reason, we've more than our fair share of heartless people in society. Maybe the pandemic did it, i don't know, but to write such vile stuff about someone you don't know who's clearly gone through hell is appalling.

It's absolutely ridiculous. And the most worrying thing is, they seem to have done such a good job on demonising foreigners that many of the comments on here say they haven't gone far enough. Appalling government, appalling decision that will decimate the care sector.
100,000 unfilled vacancies in the NHS & 150,000 unfilled vacancies across the adult social care sector - both heavily reliant on hiring workers from abroad & the MAD HATTER HOME SECRETARY’S cunning plan to fix the crisis is to make it even harder for people to come here to work!

Re refugees/asylum seekers, Germany had 102,500 first-time asylum seeker applicants in 2020, Spain had 86,400, France 81,800, Greece 37,900 while in the UK there were just under 29,500. So, if you think we take more than our fair share, think again.

Seeing all the grief Owen Jones was getting on here I decided to watch this, and to be honest, I can't disagree with what he says. I too am anti innocent people being killed, whatever their faith or race.
Here's my response to watching an IDF screening of the 7th October Hamas atrocities.
As I argue, Hamas committed serious and grave war crimes, and none of that is justification for the mass slaughter of the Palestinian people.
