@realBenBloch@mattforde The sheer arrogance of the utterly mediocre Lucy Powell: “Could I run the country? Yeah, I could probably run the country. Could I run the country politically? Yeah, course I could. Do I want all the absolute shit that comes with it? No thank you.”
However to avoid angry white nativists kicking off could we actually take it seriously, could our leaders actually make an effort? Too much to ask? Oh well
After raging against EDI madness for years you are radicalising me back in the other direction, if you have to act obscenely towards a dying lad in handcuffs because you sat through an easy workshop on Eid fuck off you daft bastards
Suddenly saw him not as a cynical and dishonest chauvinist, but a grinning loon who sincerely believes that you just say "I'm changing politics", and you *are* changing politics, it's all gonna change, it's going to taste great, you're ANDY, you're a legend, fucking hell yes
No
@TheEconomist@IamCordeliaX These fckers would be at the first night of George Floyd: The Musical, but deconstruct the Henry Nowak murder until, guess what? The only problem is Reform, Nigel Farage and far right racism.
@TheEconomist The left has been asking for this for years. You can’t start identifying people by their race and then complain when white people decide they want to take control of their own narrative 🤷♂️.
It was inevitable.
@TheEconomist I dunno, seems more prompted by a clear case of two-tier treatment resulting in the death of an innocent kid. Doubt many on the right view that as an "opportunity".
Have you considered listening to their concerns rather than dismissing them outright?
@BBCPolitics He just blanked what #bbcLauraK put up, how can he get away with that!
The Equalities Act also gives minorities more rights than everyday people ! #bbcnews
@Mrbojangle6@BBCPolitics If you are looking for a black teenager with a knife, you are going to stop black teenagers. If you are looking for a white teenager with a knife you will stop white teenagers. The issue is social and cultural, and a matter of who carries knives, not police racism.
@BBCPolitics He's right. There isn't "two-tiers" of policing.
There are at least four, when you add the "super injunction" class who can hide things, and the elite class who can get away with EVERYTHING!
@BBCPolitics He is lying. It is written down and sponsored by every Chief Constable in Britain. There are countless training courses on the College of Policing website that educate frontline Police NOT to treat people equally. https://t.co/87Fnfrz1jd
@BBCPolitics The Police, like every other public institution, has "moved on" to institutional racism against white people. Anyone who denies this has their head in the sand, or they're lying. Lammy is lying.
@BBCPolitics@JGerrings Demanding institutional action after the death of Stephen Lawrence, God rest him, or George Floyd, but covering up institutional failings that led to the grooming of thousands of white girls is failing in terms of equity and equality and is racist and hypocritical @DavidLammy
When I built my skincare company in Senegal, the hardest part wasn't making a great product. My team is incredible, and they proved that from day one.
The hardest part was navigating a system designed to squeeze money out of you at every turn. Permits, inspections, fees, delays, and then more fees on top of the fees.
THAT is what keeps Africa poor, not a lack of talent or ambition.
