The best part was the reason the cops made this arrest was because, once again, a video that Tate made.

Says I voted Tory in 2019 and will vote Labour in 2024 where I voted Labour in 2019 and at the moment undecided Labour/Greens 2024.

Managed to create a green:

A white man aged 18-24 from the South West, who owns a home in an urban area, is unemployed or sick and has a postgraduate degree has a:

🟢 39% chance of voting Green
🔴 34% Labour
🔵 9% Conservative

I was erring towards the Average Green voter in Bristol but had to tweak some things. Popped in my old man and he is Tory 2019 voting Tory and expect he will or maybe one of the crazies.

quote:

“Hasan”, whose real identity is not being disclosed for his own protection, has attended pro-Palestinian protests in the UK, and his lawyers also argued that his activism would place him at increased risk of hostile attention on his return.

His lawyers said on Tuesday they believed the Home Office decision was unprecedented in the case of a Palestinian who held an Israeli passport.

The 24-year-old is understood to have spent most of his life in the UK. He had claimed asylum to avoid being sent to Israel, and a first-tier tribunal hearing had been due to take place today. However, the Home Office unexpectedly caved in on Monday and granted Hasan asylum, so avoiding a hearing in which his legal team were intending to argue that Palestinian citizens of Israel were unsafe, and in particular those that were willing to speak out.

It was Hasan’s belief, his lawyers said, that Israel was governed by “an apartheid regime that engages in systematic and pervasive discrimination, persecution and violence touching on all aspects of Palestinian life”.

Hasan’s lawyers had made a supplementary claim after the start of the Hamas-Israel war, which followed Hamas’s surprise attack on southern Israel on 7 October 2023. They argued that the security situation for Palestinian citizens of Israel had worsened further as the war in Gaza had gone on.

About a fifth of Israel’s population – about 2 million people – is Palestinian although that figure also includes the Arab population of East Jerusalem who have a lesser status, that of permanent residents.

Franck Magennis, a barrister at Garden Court chambers, said while it was not uncommon for Palestinians from Gaza to obtain asylum in the UK, he could not find reference to a similar case applying to a Palestinian from Israel.

This is quite an interesting development. It'll be interesting to see ministers explain this while trying to support Israel...

Presumably, the Home Office caved in so that there isn't any official precedent for this kind of thing, and they can blame some vague mistakes in the paperwork for this happening

Except the property developers for all those new Rwandan homes and the industries there who'll get a bunch of new cheap workers, but they don't vote here. Oh and our MPs who got the kickbacks from that.

Also 'resettlement payments' was a literal BNP idea in the 00s so nice set of barrels he's scraping.

I don't understand this. If you're a failed asylum seeker (I.e. Asylum rejected) don't you just get deported? Why does the government need to sweeten the deal?

Paying successful asylum seekers to leave would be the logical (but horribly BNPish) option

Age and location had barely any impact here, retired university-educated Bangladeshi women in social housing in almost any city are as likely to vote Labour at 20 as at 70 it appears.

I don’t think it actually models the specific demographics but rather aggregates all the different variables - so location and age effectively become baked in. You’ll see that as you make a new adjustment it only influences the lines at its level or below
