- A paediatric nurse, who survived a massacre in Somalia as a child, and found refuge here, told me today that she thought Starmer didn’t look like he believed what he said, and described Britain to me as an “Island of Kindness” where she was safe, could prosper, and serve others
- An Island of Strangers? More like an Island of Kindness This is my History, and this is My England - and of so many other people I know. From Byline Times six years ago bylinetimes.com/2019/12/18/t...
- I spent 6 hrs in our local A&E last night and the kindness & professionalism of everyone is fantastic. We are so blessed that people come here and look after us I would say about 50% of them were not born in UK. “Island of strangers” is so shameful, it will haunt him for a long time to come.
- I helped at a East End health fair this week for my public health job - it was aimed at Somali men in a mosque where everyone was kind, generous and focused on improving themselves and their adopted home. As a Labour member of 23 years (12 as councillor) I’m appalled at Starmer’s words and actions
- Starmer said it. Starmer believes it. He's poison
- For what little it's worth, I agree he probably doesn't believe what he said. But it's still awful that he said it. It helps the worst people in the country feel that their hatred is validated and accepted.
