The police have cleared the police, the government has cleared the government and the press has cleared the press. The only actually institutionally racist entity in the UK was the Labour Party 2016 - 2019.

Still pretty questionable. They wouldn't name their party the Northern Independence Generation for Green Environmental Revolution, would they? I don't think anyone think's there's any racial animus behind the name, but when it came to deciding it, the fact that the initials also spelling a racial slur for east Asian people wasn't a dealbreaker would be quite demoralising, were I east Asian.

gently caress me, your bloody post is what's demoralising.

You know we're intelligent enough to tell what an acronym is right? You know we don't turn to dust at the mention of the word nip? You're even allowed to nip out to the shops if you want! I don't mind! It's the context of the word! (Just don't call me one cheers)

I can't speak for all my Asian brothers and sisters, but I'm pretty sure they too have more important concerns than a tiny social-democratic party oop north sharing their name with a slur that tbh I don't even really hear that much anymore. (I usually only ever inadvertently get called it when someone apologises for saying something like it's a bit nippy in front of me lmao) And did you really have to spell out the n-word to make your point??

So in conclusion, gently caress right off with your cynical patronising liberal bollocks you utter oval office, poo poo like this is so loving unhelpful at a time when we're facing really quite serious bigotry and violence around the country.

And apologies for the angry post, I usually hate it when people post like I just did.
I've genuinely learnt a lot from lurking these threads over the years, but loving hell do some of you just post utter shite.
