Farage decided to slag off the royal family, climate change and people from India and Africa. Also there's been a couple mass shootings in the US and Boris with his cabinet anounced more borderline fash populist measures.

So no, not really.

I'm probably missing a lot.

We need a monument to the brave people who dominated the slave trade, industrialized, and, now needing raw materials more than workers, ended the trade in a manner that bankrupted West Africa so that they could step in and colonize it.

How Eton’s cosseted world shaped Boris Johnson. From The Times, but the end paragraph is pretty great:

quote:

There are no fundamental political differences between Cameron, Johnson and Rees-Mogg because they belong to the same world. A world of extreme wealth where there has never been any decline for them. They are secure, as their parents and grandparents and great-grandparents were before them. Once that security may have come from land; now it comes from hedge funds and shipping fortunes and extracurricular salaries (“chicken feed”, Johnson said of the £250,000 a year he was paid to write a column). Whatever happens in the next 30 or 40 years, post-Brexit, isn’t going to affect them. Privilege is like an unwritten constitution: you can never lose what you never have to find.

And this picture, shockingly, is not from a slapstick 1980s sitcom:

Besides, Thomas Clarkson is the real person you should commend for ending the slave trade.

Paradox of tolerance. Anyone who makes those choices is clearly devoid of empathy and is so sure in their opinion that they cannot be reasoned with.

If not shot in the head at least removed from the decision process.

There is a huge difference between 'voted Leave' and 'full on fash' (hi Tess!). With the way Britain's been radicalising that difference is decreasing but it's still important.

Also fwiw that paradox of tolerance doesn't mean 'shoot them in the head if they're intolerant'. That's your own interpretation and it says a lot about you.
