The Taliban is reportedly "ready and willing" to work with Nigel Farage and accept Afghans deported from Britain under Reform UK's unprecedented new mass deportation plan.

Reform leader Farage announced on Tuesday new plans to deport a staggering 600,000 illegal migrants within five years of a Reform government, which would mean deporting 300 people a day.

Farage said his government would negotiate returns agreements with countries including Iran, Eritrea and Afghanistan, which is governed by the Taliban.

I mean, it makes perfect sense. All other major parties are either doing nothing about or actively worsening the plight of the working class, so when you have someone saying "I'll help you and here's how insert thing that agrees with their preconceived notions regarding race, gender, etc" they'll flock to them. Everything else becomes secondary.

With that caveat that those preconceived notions were instilled by decades of right wing press that has propped up that same self serving troglodyte.

*Centuries. The whole concept of race was invented by rich slaveowners to justify their slaveowning.
