Yep . Remember when those kids took over London and went down high streets robbing . Johnston was on holiday as were most of the police force … and all the kids wanted were trainers . Imagine if they wanted democracy ?
Even if all of this is true, HMG does not forcibly deport people. 🇬🇧 does not have a 🇲🇽 to dump people in. The consequences of a workplace immigration raid is a brief detention of the migrants, a bunch of new sham asylum claims and their release back into the community within a couple of days. I wish you would tell the truth.
🇬🇧 has neither the money nor the political will to pay for the vast detention and removal apparatus 🇺🇸 has. We can barely remove 🇦🇱/🇧🇷 nationals involuntarily, picked them because no paperwork is needed from the home country to deport.
Agreed; the main difference being that in the US, the (far-)right are already in power while here Reform only have a handful of seats. If Farage was to take office (god forbid), then we would undoubtedly see the kinds of authoritarianism currently on display on the streets of LA.
Hmmmm: my only caveat Nicola, is that the two other big parties have been incrementally and disingenuously stalling Farage by BECOMING Farage for years, now. (Ps: I have just watched and LOVED your half hour interview on Politics Joe!)

"...lead to similar outcomes if the tentacles of Trumpism reached our shores."
It doesn't take Trumpism; we have our own, well-honed traditions of noxious State aggression against dissent amongst our own people, Nicola.
So: depending on how much we became willing to resist; the short answer to -
"Could the LA protests happen here?"
- is "yes".
Sending you the warmest of solidarity wishes! 😃🏴☠️
