My favourite bit:

Because the answer is embarrassing. If the numbers were reassuring, they would be on a billboard by Friday, narrated by Gary Lineker and Carole Vorderman. The suppression is the confession. 🤣🤣🤣

Someone once said, "We shall have no real hope to survive the enemies ranged against us until we hang the traitors lurking among us."

Take note and seek them out.

I once believed that the greatest prize in the lottery of life was to be born English.

I’m no longer quite so sure of that.

I still believe it, but to keep it so we have to work harder than we ever have before.

Are we living in 1984? 🫣 Shocking news which people need to be aware of. I have just donated.

I think that the narrative of them being stupid, incompetent or even misguided has run its course. Between the Burnham coup, the doubling down by Mahmood by providing "legal" routes and the "inability" to smash the gangs.... the joining of the dots is painting a picture of detailed, purposeful and stubborn design.

Can they possibly be both?

It's crystal clear why the figures are being hidden. It would weaken "project imigration"

How about doing a Dan Hodges and 'arrange' an anonymous statement from a "well-placed source" to declare the numbers?

There would be only one way to refute it.

That is truly an inspired idea

Great article Gawain, I think George Orwell would be shocked at what we've had done to our country by successive government's since 1970.

💯 the suppression is the confession, it's that bloody obvious

They really do think that we are the dumb ones and can be easily fooled infact they are the ones that are covering themselves in the glory of failure and stupidity

I gather that the Germans have an expression for this kind of thing. "If they don't tell you then you know."
