I will always support the action taken by our police and courts to keep our streets and people safe."

She had an opinion. Neither British or Australian Labour wants an epidemic of free thinking individuals compromising their agenda , so is making sure the message gets across loud and clear to any would be free-thinking opponents who stand to undermine them.

What's not clear about this?

This is what the UK and Australia voted for afterall, no?

We've all seen hardened criminals get less time for a variety of atrocities, it's just this woman's truth stood to hurt their government more.



If I were her, I wouldn't be stopping now, even if this meant applying for political asylum in Trumps America, or elsewhere on our planet.

Can they incarcerate us all?

This will be the question they'll need to be asking themselves before the next election.

No. It's not. Australians are rebellious and won't cop this pommy-waffle for much longer... it's already begun!

A large-scale anti-immigration protest took place in London on Saturday, capping more than a week of demonstrations across Britain.

According to British media, over 30,000 asylum seekers were being housed in around 200 hotels in England and Wales as of the end of March.
Tensions escalated in July after an Ethiopian asylum seeker staying at a hotel in Essex, southeast England, was charged with sexual assault and other offenses.

Demonstrators carried English and British flags and placards reading "Send them home" and "Save our kids."
Police said the rally drew more than 100,000 people.
US billionaire Elon Musk also addressed the crowd via video link, saying that "massive uncontrolled migration" is contributing to the "destruction of Britain."

The protest turned violent at times, with clashes between participants and police leaving 26 officers injured.
