This is bilge. The asylum pact actually *speeds up* refugees getting an EU long term residence permit after 5 years (because time spent as an asylum-seeker now counts in full). Member States can still issue a national long term residence permit on more favourable terms.

I used to have a friend who was in the SWP. This is (apart from the bit about the internet) exactly what he believed. It's actually a deeply patronising, very middle-class, very rose tinted student-Marxist view of working people that is completely divorced from any experience of life.

We live in a world where public spending is consistently framed as 'bad' or a 'drain' and the benefits of public spending (including future reduction of costs) are ignored or viewed with suspicion. This inhibits long term thinking and stops us from viewing public services as an investment.

No matter how often it is repeated, what Moscow thinks "peace talks" and "ceasefire agreements" are for still confuses some Western counterparts. Russia repeatedly gets what it wants because the other side focuses on ending the war, but Russia instead wants to win it.
