Interesting admission there. Daily Mail writes a racist piece trying to stoke hatred against black people and then tries to hire a black woman to be the face of it.

Yeah but it's the first time I've ever seen it admitted so blasé. It's the kind of thing that I feel should sink a newspaper but because of how corrupt everything is it'll just go by without any real comment.

There are supposedly court buildings, police stations and other public buildings that are also at risk. Does anyone know if this type of concrete was also used in housing?

She's the woman who got this year's Ghost written Daily Mail article about how Notting Hill Carnival is an unmitigated display of savagery, so she's probably needing a drink to cope with doing that.

Interesting thing is Dominique Samuels also said that the articles she wrote about Meghan Markle were also ghost written for her, so the Daily Mail regularly goes looking for black faces to put to white racism.

I'm sure that the media discourse about how it was an open secret for so long and how so many people were complicit by varying degree in horrific crimes will be open and honest, exposing what went wrong- because it's not like there's a coach load of other establishment nonces hiding behind super injunctions and the old boys network, right?

Much like I'm sure the government investigation into this will be prompt and efficient in order to root out the problems in the system, certainly not deliberately and consistently delaying things for years then restarting the whole process till everyone forgets it was even a thing in the first place






oh wait I'm still in britain, gently caress

Lol yep, every power structure in Britain is riddled with nonces and corruption to the point where it feels like they hire corrupt nonces exclusively because they won't kick up a fuss about the corrupt nonces already in place.

Lol they did that with Jimmy Savile as well. Forehead even wrote a column about how Jimmy Savile's victims should just be quiet about it and go away. The rest were like Stephen Fry saying they don't want a "witch hunt" and no one should do too much investigation just in case someone gets falsely accused and Cliff Richard sets his lawyers on them.

There's a surprising amount of people who claim to be on the left who are openly defending the serial rapist and borderline nonce on twitter. And it seems to be the same types of people who were also sucked into the 5G Covid denialism 15 minute city conspiracy bullshit.

Brand was a threat to the establishment, apparently.... :catstare:

If he was a threat to the Establishment they would have done something when he was a A-list movie star, not wait until he was a D-List Joe Rogan trying to sell out smaller rooms in civic centers.

The why now is because he doesn't have the sway to protect himself anymore. Channel 4 don't want him to host Panel show #359 and he's not getting cast in another film. Might as well get a few more coppers from his downfall if you can't make any protecting him.

Apparently Steve Bell has done a few comics drawing this type of ire.

The comic in question:



And a guardian article exploring it a bit here

I honestly struggle with this stuff. I'm not Jewish so have a degree of cultural blindness to things Jewish people might be more sensitive to. I'm probably too uncultured to know the inns and outs of these biblical stories and wider cultural significance...but all of this just feels like a reach? If Steve Bell really was racist why would the only proof be these subtle links? The Corbyn head on a plate on is particularly relevant - what is the actual implication here? How much additional context, conjecture and supposition needs super-imposed onto this to create an anti-semitic narrative?

The guardian article says "However, using a Jewish biblical figure who conspired against a saint was highly provocative and open to just the kind of interpretations made".

A few days ago an israeli human rights lawyer tweeted a cartoon of a boog marked 'IDF' crushing a cockroach which was a clear caricature of an Israeli. We've seen the Israeli defence minister refer to Palestinians as animals. I know this sounds like whataboutery, but it seems as though the State expects perfect, bloodless, qualified statements from its enemies at all times, whilst hand-waving away a bit choice its its allies say.

They don't give a gently caress, they throw out antisemitism accusations like pennies in front of those vampires that have to stop and count pennies.

Even with the low turnout, overturning two ~20k majorities in a night is pretty impressive.

Apparently similar byelection results, with the same low turnouts, heralded the labour 97 landslide.

It also means that gently caress off flip chart man has to, infact, gently caress off

At the end of the day though it's conservatives being replaced by conservatives. Nothing will meaningfully change if we're just slapping red paint on the same rotten foundation.

Labour will get a huge majority, continue things as they always have been under the Tory party and then slowly lose their majority until we're back under a conservative party that will continue again. This won't even be like under Blair when the worst excesses of Neoliberalism were mitigated by means tested bullshit and government spending. They're fully wedded to austerity after a decade and a half of austerity not fixing anything.

New Labour did do a lot of good. The problem is that that was when the Left of the party had more sway, the good Labour did in the short term was outweighed by the long term bad, and all the good done by Labour in those years were immediately decimated by the Tories within their first year in office.

Now the left has no sway in Labour, the right wing of Labour blamed the recession on the few good things they did in office because they still want to solicit bribes from the people who did cause the recession and they've actively promised not to do anything good in office.

The argument that maybe Labour will be good when they're in office is undermined by Labour right now. They're openly promising more privatisation of the NHS, sacked off their mental health brief and the only thing they seem keen on funding in the NHS is loving AI. Might as well promise to put it on the Blockchain.

Labour is back under New Labour control and everyone in New Labour is rabidly more right wing than they were even ten years ago. I genuinely hope I'm wrong but Labour's put all its money on being seen as a more efficient Tory party than the one we've got and I don't see that changing when they get their majority.
