fuctifino posted:This just popped up on my feed - Interviewing attendees at the St George rally in London There's always the same look flashing across their eyes when they're asked for specific examples of their culture being taken away from them or English people being an oppressed class. The same look you saw on Jordan Peterson's face when he railed against government imposing social change and was then asked if it was wrong for the US government to enforce the Civil Rights Act. The look of "I really want to say 'there are brown-skinned people here now and I'm expected to treat them as equals' but I know I can't get away with saying that on video, so I'd better say that you can't get fish and chips these days." Sorta collating this and Lee Anderson Wanting His Country Back, yesterday I needed to drive my partner to her work, and due to road closures we went via the backroads of Peterborough rather than the arterial roads. This takes you through New England, the planned suburb built for railway workers. Classic grid of Victorian working class terraces, with what used to be the main road to Lincoln as the spine and lined with shops and businesses. At 8.30am the place was full of women in headscarves walking their kids to school, going to the local independent shop to get food in, presumably before going back to their little terrace house to do their socially-expected domestic work while their husbands were at work before going to evening prayers at the place of worship down the street. But New England in 2024 differs from New England in [30p Lee's imagined] 1954 because the women are from Bangladesh, the headscarves are hijabs, the shop is a Halal butcher's and the place of worship is a mosque. There are working class communities throughout Britain that must embody a lot of the (largely superficial) stuff that Lee and the other Reform nutters get so nostalgic about...but they seem curiously uninterested in them.

He declared: “I may have a glint of optimism on the horizon. I came to the conclusion that I’ve been walking around getting punched in the face for four years now. And I sense that I may need some distance from it, in a way.”

Labour briefing that they are losing the West Midlands mayoral contest because of an independent pro-Gaza candidate I assume this will mean a change in policy right?

As you alluded to at the start of the post, it's because the skin colour is different.

Messed up how Hamas cost Labour the election just by quoting Labour's policy positions in things.BalloonFish posted:There's always the same look flashing across their eyes when they're asked for specific examples of their culture being taken away from them or English people being an oppressed class.

also, lol at this analysis: the tees valley mayor, who is personally quite popular and tries to detach himself from the national party, was re-elected with 53% of the vote compared to 70% three years ago. in his victory speech, he said he was happy to work with rishi sunak, or you know, whoever the prime minister is next year, for the benefit of his constituents. previous polls have shown that more than half his voters vote for the man himself and wouldn't consider themselves tory voters in general. this is the best result of the night for the conservatives, they will be absolutely delighted with this.

He got his peerage for successfully funneling the entirety of the Teesside regeneration money into the pockets of Tory donors.

Markets were generally rising yesterday. This is just a trading algorithm that buys or sells for investment firms depending on lots of things. A 2.9% rise in a big firms stock is nothing out of the ordinary.

I don’t think threat is the right word, normally that would mean some intention to inflict harm or punishment rather than relieve of nobishness.

I wonder if Lozza's brain got infected after his part in Lewis where he is portrayed as being some sort of ex-trainee-priest clever clogs socially conscious person repairing homes for humanity in Romania or wherever it was, and whether he thinks that is what he is?

Tahir Mahmood, googling his name and Blackburn unfortunately brought up the Lancashire Post reporting on a child molester with the same name on the run as the first result. The actual Tahir is a driving instructor and charity volunteer. Seems like a good lad.

Him and the other independents that won throughout Blackburn ran on a pro-Gaza platform and have replaced some absolutely useless councilors that have been in their positions for far too long. I did some work for the Labour party and the council a few years back and they were all loving useless around here.
