People imagining something awful for years will be triggered when it finally (allegedly) happens but their fears are ultimately based on fearmongering.

Plenty of people are scared of the two assasinations of MPs by right wing lunatics.
Or that mosque pipe bombing Or lots of other things that happen over and over because of these problematic communities you mention. Do we really need to understand the hate and intolerance to punish it? I don't think so

To add to this for people who don't know, road wear scales at a power of 4 with the weight.

So if a vehicle is 2x as heavy it causes 16x as much damage to the road

Genociding yourself is an internal matter, even if you invade first so it becomes part of your country and then start the genociding.

police prosecutions in the UK are done very quietly, I'm not sure why but you're lucky to get one small story in the newspapers for even quite horrific crimes. There are perhaps not enough, but they do happen more than people generally think.

Why on earth would anyone pay London prices for a house and pay commuting costs when they could just live in Brighton?

The green party, I suppose we were being too harsh when saying they're nimbys who don't want wind turbines built.

They're nimbys who don't want lots of other things built too

That won't help, you'll just have empty trains leaving Leeds as well as London. Unless people live and work in the same place this is just a cost of a train network.

Just the criminal ones. I think that would leave private eye

We're also not rejoining the customs union because he ruled that out too. He can do a little here but it is just a little.
