A very cool 'Meditating Figure' by Matt Johnson #art #artwork #containerart #streetart #urbanart #fediart #mastoart #Johnson

#Johnson bemoaning the fact that many women in the UK can not speak English and this is because of "uncontrolled immigration post #Brexit" Let's fact-check this. ​Share of the total female population: Across England and Wales, approximately 1.5% to 1.8% of all women could not speak English well or at all. - 2011 census data According to UK census data, approximately 0.3% of women can not speak English at all, while an additional 1.5% cannot speak it well. In total, fewer than 2% of women in the UK lack English proficiency. Census data 2021 Scarcely changed over 10 years.

"You know what I think about the #Partygate nonsense. It was nonsense." "Bollox," he profanes #Johnson on #TrevorPhillips The ultimate upshot of the "Partygate" scandal was the political downfall of Boris Johnson. ​The main outcomes included: ​Resignations: It directly triggered a collapse in cabinet and party support, forcing Johnson to resign as Prime Minister in 2022 and later as an MP in 2023. ​Police Fines: The Metropolitan Police issued 126 fines for lockdown breaches, making Johnson the first sitting British prime minister found to have broken the law. ​Damaged Trust: A formal parliamentary inquiry concluded that Johnson had deliberately misled Parliament, severely damaging public trust in the government and contributing to a sharp decline in electoral support for the Conservative Party.

"We haven't been tough enough [with immigration control] in respect of grooming gangs" #Johnson dogwhistle racism on #TrevorPhillips goes unchallenged Here's the reality of it ... There is no comprehensive national database providing an exact proportion, but a landmark Home Office report concluded that the majority of group-based child sexual exploitation offenders are White British, aligning with national demographics. ​However, data from a Children's Commissioner inquiry across 19 police forces broke down identified perpetrators as 42% White or White British, 17% Black, 14% Asian, and 22% unknown. While high-profile cases in specific locations (like Rotherham and Rochdale) involved a disproportionate number of men of Pakistani heritage, official audits emphasize that group-based child sexual abuse spans all ethnic groups and no single community is uniquely predisposed to it.

#Johnson is on #TrevorPhillips saying that "because of 'Hard Brexit' we can decide who comes in" This is not quite true The UK ALWAYS maintained control over its borders before Brexit. ​While part of the European Union, the UK opted out of the Schengen Agreement, meaning it kept full passport and identity checks at its borders for all arrivals, including EU citizens. The UK also retained control over its national security, visa policies for non-EU countries, and the deportation of foreign nationals who posed a security threat. ​However, as an EU member, the UK was subject to the free movement of persons, which meant it could not limit the number of EU citizens coming to live and work in the country, BUT ONLY provided they were employed, studying, or self-sufficient. Don't let Johnson re-write history xx

"#Brexit is a tool you can use it to do things differently. Look how Britain is approaching AI, for example," said #Johnson anachronistically on #TrevorPhillips

"I think give it time," he concludes.

• yes, that old adage 🙄

"​Studies show that Brexit has left the UK economy roughly 6% to 8% smaller than it would have been had the country remained in the European Union."
