Pop icon Cher has suddenly had a dramatic change of heart on mass immigration after President Trump threatened to dump illegals in the “sanctuary city” where she lives.
Imagine my shock.
On Friday, Trump said his administration was considering the idea of releasing immigrants into sanctuary cities, partly in retaliation to Democrats’ support for open borders.
Previously, Cher had demanded, “Anyone who can must take a dreamer in2 their home & protect them!! I’m ready 2 do this & others in my business will do the same!! Sanctuary.”
However, she rapidly reversed her feelings on the matter following Trump’s threat to place those “dreamers” in her city.
In a tweet posted Sunday, Cher said, “I understand helping struggling immigrants but my city (Los Angeles) isn’t taking care of its own.”
She went on to urge that more focus be put on native homeless people than illegal immigrants.
Wow, it’s almost like Cher’s concern for illegal immigrants suddenly disappeared when she feared there could be a deluge of them in her own back yard!

If I could turn back time
If I could find a way I'd take back those votes that hurt us and we’d stay
 
I didn’t say either of those things but UKIP have now positioned themselves to only appeal to the dregs of society. I don’t like Farage but he has at least made an effort to distance himself from that and offer an alternative so there’s no grey area.

UKIP set out their stall when they involved Robinson. Farage has, as you say, rightly distanced from them and his campaign is focused on achieving a Brexit free of enduring EU legal ties.

Absolutely.
UKIP were always a mixture of genuine people that just wanted to leave the EU and far more extreme racists.
It now appears to be mainly the latter.

Farage has, as you say, distanced himself from them and I expect his new party to be incredibly popular.

Well let's hope he's constantly reminded that he campaigned for a soft 'Norway' arrangement.

The Government is considering an overhaul of rules for Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, a week after targeting social media companies with strict new penalties.
The Daily Telegraph understands that the Department for Culture, Media and Sport is looking at whether rules for on-demand video streaming sites should be brought in line with those which apply to traditional broadcasters as part of its digital charter.
Separately, the influential DCMS select committee, the parliamentary body headed up by Damian Collins MP, may also “do something” in this area this year, sources familiar with the matter said.
Internet companies have been subject to significant scrutiny in the UK, with regulation recently...

Norway don't want us. They think our Parliament is unreliable. Perhaps a UK tailored option with a time limited Irish backstop. Our politics is being Balkanised. Farage could just end up with the biggest piece.

You can't time limit a back stop. All of these so-called 'solutions', including No Deal, fail to satisfactorily address the Irish border issue.

Irrelevant. We are not joining Norway’s club, we would be negotiating a deal which is similar (but probably better, we have more clout) to Norway’s. No way is the EU going to say ‘you can’t have a deal like Norway’s, because it might upset the Norwegians’. If those big blond ****ers don’t like it, bad luck, go play with your sovereign wealth fund.
