Privatise the news and the shit opinions pollute our politics.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/ukpolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ukpolitics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>politics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/BBCQuestionTime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BBCQuestionTime</span></a></p>

Geri ❤️<p>Gentleman red jumper on last night's <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/BbcQuestionTime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BbcQuestionTime</span></a> said the majority of the asylum seekers are actually coming to the UK to claim <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/asylum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>asylum</span></a> not for a better life. He's right.
