When they say that they’ll leave - I hope that if the time comes for them to honour their statement that they’ll go to a country where they’ll learn the language and fully integrate. And bring vigils skills to that particular country. |  | |  |

So many questions. He used to be a fairly well respected and normal academic, researching ways to counter the far right unbelievably. And then he turned into an absolute weapon. The facist grift must pay better than academia. |  |

I was under the impression that the portal didn’t cost Ipswich borough council one penny as it was 100% funded by the UK Government's Towns Fund. Happy to be corrected on this. |  | |  |

But who is going to maintain those flags? They’ll get withered very quickly and will look awful - they’ll need replacing or they’ll just look a proper eyesore. Nice bit of whatabouty though. |  | |  |

You are correct, it's amazing how many people what to blame the council none the less |  |

Hang on, is that X post not satire/a p1ss-take? If it's serious then it's the most hilariously ironic thing I think I've ever seen. |  | |  |
