The Palace of Versailles has around 15 million visitors a year, and France hasn't had a monarchy for 232 years since they excuted all but one. So, for all the Royalists out there, bleeting on about tourism.....shhhhh.

@FlexUTD This is why we wanted to take the knee and do more to stop racism, but I guess football and “politics” shouldn't mix.

Warning: Seven Rules for Surviving A Kemi Badenoch Victory

Today the most prominent member of white supremacy's Black collaborator class (in Britain) is likely to be made leader of the Conservative Party. Here are some handy tips for surviving the immediate surge of Badenochism (i.e. white supremacy in Blackface):

1. Don’t allow yourself to be gaslit. Of course, a victory for Badenoch is an obvious, unprecedented and once inconceivable victory for racism. Yet for legitimacy and national blush-saving purposes, it will be portrayed as anything but. Hence the Black & Brown voices invited to speak about a Badenoch victory in the media will likely be carefully selected. Expect a lot of Sunder Katwala and Trevor Phillips types, but not much from anyone else. Certainly not knowledgeable objectors.

2. Don't feed the trolls: avoid the inevitable avalanche of “whatever your politics” rhetoric. E.g. “Whatever your politics, you must acknowledge how great and progressive the Conservative Party is now that a Blackface of white supremacy has broken the glass ceiling for all Black people…” and “Whatever your politics, Black children finally have a great role model to look up to”.

3. Don’t get arrested Pt. I: As that free speech championing entity known as the British state would say: be careful what you post. The police scour this app for "offensive" material and they take immense glee in weaponising laws designed to protect ethnic minorities against ethnic minorities.

4. Don’t get arrested Pt. II: The police don't do nuance, and they conveniently refuse to understand Black & Brown intra-communal language or forms of critique, satire or compliment (e.g. coconut, Uncle Tom, Aunt Kemi, house negro, choc ice, etc).

5. Don’t get arrested Pt. III: In pursuit of "protecting" the feelings and political positions of ethnic minority politicians (with far-right sensibilities), the police and CPS will do everything conceivably possible to legally and psychologically destroy you.

6. Don’t get arrested Pt. IV: Look up The Emoji Trial and The Coconut Trial for more information on how quickly proprietary Black & Brown intellectual tradition, thought or language can land you in a British police cell.

7. Remember White supremacy’s silver linings: they always discard their tools. Always. Yes, this will be a painful and shameful period. Our various politics and very standing in Britain and as British people will be seriously compromised by a Badenoch victory. Yet rest assured: painful as it may be for Black & Brown people – history teaches us that Badenochism will end even worse for Kemi Badenoch.

"Amen" said the church.

Good luck!

@MrTestoestrogen Yeah couldn’t agree more. This version of Amanda was incredible. She was eating people alive. Glad I got to witness it.

Imagine being this deluded. Guess it’s why she loves the orange person so much.

The economic doom loop continues as high taxes and regulations have choked growth and created a stampede for the door.

The only way out is cutting taxes and regulations & getting on with fracking.

Sadly I believe Labour will do the opposite.

This is being widely circulated. It's great quote, but Hannah Arendt didn't say it. As Abraham Lincoln observed so wisely, "90% of the quotes you read on the internet are misattributed".
