"Do you support a skills-led points-based immigration system" is a shitter of a question. Yes? Good, limit immigration. No? Good, limit immigration.

...but it looks like it doesn't block you from submitting multiple times, or check for valid e-mails/postcodes,* so I guess it can just be spammed with white noise?

I read the headline and didn't know what to think because my brain has never had to parse "anti-racist critic" before and had to turn a cog for a minute.

A critic of anti-racism?

The way I'd parse it is that an anti-racist critic is a critic who is anti-racist, in the same way that a socialist critic would be a critic who is a socialist, whereas anti-racism critics and socialism critics are critics of the idea.

In a way, it's more broad than "PG and Yorkshire Tea tell racist critics 'don't buy our tea'", because a whole lot of people don't think that they're racist but are anti-BLM because decorum or they're secret maoists or whatever, if it weren't so clunky that it fails to get through.

Also if you're going to sound buy medical equipment designed for sounding and also an autoclave :gonk:

Anyway in other news (though admittedly quite minor news given what else is currently going on), I've just seen that Debenhams in the Milton Keynes shopping centre is going to be closing permanently. Interesting as this was their UK "flagship" store. Obviously they've been affected by covid but the department store model has been on the way out for years, with all of John Lewis's troubles etc.

It's almost exactly the same thign Trump did at about the same time in his premiership.

Which is discouraging.

E: the entirety of Oxford high street is full of protestors for the tear down cecil rhodes movement, which is very much not discouraging.

It's not particularly weird in that police brutality is a very obvious problem and the solution is also pretty obvious, but tying it into a holistic worldview is slightly harder.

Same reason you get people who are socially progressive, or radically anti-racist, but don't make the jump to anticapitalism as the necessary next step to truly liberate people.

You can have universal healthcare in a capitalist system. It will keep getting shat up as we see but you can still have it. Same with the main police abolitionist idea of replacing most of the work they do with community action and social services drawn from a very different group of people.
