the 21st century in Britain has been a more or less continuous series of exposés of grotesque police incompetence, brutality and bigotry, but the absolute refusal of the press or (most of) the left to reckon with this as inherent to the nature of policing as currently constituted
If this was Asians standing chanting against the police, the social media response would be very different. Why is it okay for one group to be seen as anti-authority, and not the other? We know why.
this is an insane bit of "saying the quiet part out loud"
journalists & the former prime minister openly saying "Britain is not a sovereign state, our democracy is a sham, and we're all lying to you about it... and that's a good thing!"
Rita Moreno performing "Fever" on the Muppet Show with Animal on drums which originally aired almost 50 years ago in the UK on September 12, 1976 and in New York on September 20, 1976 which earned her a Primetime Emmy Award.
UK: Oh no, banks have crashed m. We’ll pay for it by dismantling 70% of youth services, slashing CAMHs, abolishing early years childcare, gut social services & cope with the fallout with mass school exclusions.
ALSO UK: Oh no, now our young people are sad because mobile phones.
The first time I saw pictures of Versailles I said they HAD to bring out that guillotine there absolutely no other logical reaction. Their heads had to go, living in such splendour while your citizens rot.
44 members of the parliamentary labour party are landlords, 4 of them are in the cabinet and 1 of them is the chancellor of the exchequer. believe me diva, the PLP are working far more in your class interests than they have been mine.

Starmer was moving like a dictator with the left in his party but he should've been moving like that with his Cabinet, and making them generate some new and radical ideas for this country. How can you be a gov in waiting for 15yrs and don't hit the streets like smack in the 80s??
Keir Starmer is considered a “decent man” cause he is a straight middle aged white man who wears a suit. He looks like what they think a decent man should look like which is why they think he is a decent man
Prince - I Wanna Be Your Lover
Vocals, guitars, bass, drums, Clavinet, electric piano, Oberheim, Polymoog, Minimoog and ARP Strings - all performed by 21-year-old Prince.
He probably he took the bins out that day too.
1979.
@dominicboyle@Curious_Chak@lewis_goodall the Labour Party under Starmer will abandon its core idealism & principles and it won't even gain tactical advantage. It will be a party which gives no one a reason to vote for it, and no one will, in fact, vote for it.
If we had a functioning, free media, Starmer would be asked for evidence of these serious claims. Instead, they'll just be amplified. This is why he lies so much. Because he can. Because "our" media isn't ours.
a country which truly embraced christian values would enthusiastically embrace somebody convicted of a crime 30 years ago turning her life around and contributing positively to society
