1978: Opposition leader Margaret Thatcher says that many Britons fear being "swamped by people with a different culture".

This is... Not surprising that we're worse off (born in '84) than the previous generation but those figures are kind of staggering. We've been a generation left behind. First since WW2 to be worse off than the previous is just bad.

But nowt will be done about it because rabble rabble millennial lazy peepee heads

People that think that being gay or foreign or poor is a 'view' and therefore when the Left tells them to stop causing poo poo for people because of those reasons they're trying to censor their freeze peach.

We have no compassion and we ask no compassion from you. When our turn comes, we shall not make excuses for the terror.

gently caress people like this so hard. I just don't understand their complete inability to understand the difference between embracing diversity of race, culture, sexuality etc and challenging attributes that threaten that. You choose to have your poisonous bullshit beliefs that are based on terrible reasoning and you actively make society worse. Mr Patel down the road doesn't do any of that on account of being from Bangalore. He might also have bad opinions which should be challenged (and a lot of leftists seem to struggle here) but we're operating at two fundamentally different levels. It's not loving 'intolerant' to call someone out on their stupid poo poo.

I think the thing that gets me most is the sheer level of smug aloofness these kind of people have. They genuinely think they're the smartest guy in the room and they've come up with some devastating critique. Can't loving stand them.

e: on tellychat, does anyone know why the UK only ended up with 5 regular channels, three of which are state owned to some extent? When you compare it to other countries, even on the continent, it seems quite a small number

Murdoch wanted people to buy sky dishes. Branson wanted them to buy a wire instead. Nobody wanted to buy analog terrestrial frequency space.

Terrestrial Freeview has a lot more than 5 now though.

I don't think so. But my point is that we probably will be, seeing as the Philippines is a major ally of the US.

Thanks, Wikipedia.

How do you awaken people to the fact that this belief is mainly a projection of white guilt? Essentially "eradicating indigenous cultures is what we did when we were colonising the globe, now we're getting colonised they're going to return the favour :tinfoil:"


Also the fact that even if there was only one culture on this whole island and we put up a wall to stop foreign ones getting in, their kids would still end up listening to different music and speaking funny words the old folks don't understand, because that happens everywhere all the time. Strap them down in front of a screen showing Footloose on repeat until it sinks in, maybe.

It didn't. Analogue telly did, but we have digital now and even freeview has like 40 channels, albeit many of them are owned by the big 5.

E: also looks like it's been a lively few days of bullshit antisemitism allegations, the latest being aimed at an actual Jewish person.
