New Zealand’s intake of asylum seekers has been embarrassingly low. The left-wing parties in New Zealand should be ashamed of themselves given the way they wear their international consciences on their sleeves about New Zealand being above it all morally, nuclear free, and can lecture the rest about war, peace and compassion from on high.
Data extracted on 08 Oct 2015 09:06 UTC (GMT) from OECD.Stat; Dataset: International Migration Database.
The UK absorbed an immense number of asylum seekers in the 1990 as did Canada. The data stops in 2013.

Extended Manifesto of Bahar Mustafa

in liberalism Tags: British politics, free speech
As you may know, this tosser has been targeted by the British police for hate speech. Let her flourish in all her dottiness.
Her outburst was not an incitement to immediate lawlessness nor did it incite a riot. Nor was her bile a threat against a specific person nor could cause any particular person to be alarmed. Basically, big talk in the pub which unfortunately had Wi-Fi. If the police had left her alone she would not have even got 15 seconds of fame.
Her manifesto says that she has “ZERO TOLERANCE on homophobia, queer-phobia, trans*phobia, racism, Islamaphobia, misogyny, ableism, cis-sexism, and classist behaviour.” Seems as though blasphemy is OK as long as it is not against Islam. Anti-Semitism seems to be okay as well by her.
If you want to go around rounding up the lefties for hate speech, the police would have nothing else to do given all bile they spit at capitalism and the successful.
About Me: Experience
Welfare
As part-time Women’s Officer at Goldsmiths I committed to weekly Women’s Drop in service open to ALL self-defining women and none-binary folk who have struggled with issues ranging from harassment, to childcare and access needs.
One in seven women are subjected to sexual assault on campus[1], and as promised, I worked closely with liberation officers to form a Safer Spaces Working Group in which we produced a system for reporting such incidents to ensure the aftercare of survivors. In light of these statistics I set up the Women’s Forum and the Survivor’s Support Network for students who had experienced sexual violence and abuse.
Campaigns and Awareness
I organised Feminist Society events, open to all genders, as a site for cultivating a strong sense of political growth and arousing discussion about issues affecting our daily experiences. Topics varied from “Intersectionality 101” and…

It is vital to permanent Tory rule that Jeremy Corbyn stay staunch to the principles and electoral strategy on which he was elected by Labour Party members and supporters to be their leader and alternative Prime Minister.

The last thing Tories for Corbyn want is for Jeremy Corbyn to start compromising on his principles. Do not be corrupted by the baubles of office. Stay staunch to those ‘renegade Liberal’ principles that kept you in the wilderness for 30 years within the Labour Party. That will guarantee permanent Tory rule. We and the Trots want our £3 worth.
