They don’t. Believe me. Why do you talk such utter shite? And why are you morphing into a sovereign individual
anarcho-capitalist narcissist with fascist leanings? Some journey you’ve been on.
We need two things:
- an all-out war on racist scapegoating, which means taking on our media and political establishments
- an all-out war on economic and social insecurity which far right extremists exploit by redirecting anger at the wrong targets
Right now, Muslims are not the only target, of course.
All people of colour in Britain have been placed at heightened risk. Many now feel scared to leave their homes. Many don't even feel safe in their homes.
The rest of us have a responsibility to show meaningful solidarity.
Britain is a cauldron of resentment because, brutally speaking, social progress ground to a halt after the 2008 financial crash, and life has been defined by insecurity for millions.
Whipping up Islamophobia in that context has redirected anger with devastating effect.
Can't say this enough; Elon Musk's menace to democracy is intolerable. He's using the largest & most influential platform in the democratic world to stoke racial conflict and civil breakdown - in his own posts & what X promotes. Democracies can no longer ignore this.
@BBCWatchdog close to tears after watching your Amazon report. Ordered an iPhone 15 at the end of November, gave the delivery driver my OTP, opened the box to find a packet of baby wipes. @AmazonUK refuse to refund me even though I provided crime reference number.
@wyp100@IGNUK Listening on my way home from a fun night out in an arcade bar in Peckham (ms pac man is a frustrating mistress). Loved it! Great to discover you and your work.
I must be morally dim - I don’t see why a TV presenter’s intimate business should lead to public persecution. Makes me so uncomfortable. Having to ask friends why anything terrible has happened, why it warrants such shaming, and why it’s supposed to be endlessly my business.
This is a cynical move by the Tories - -essentially an ��election promise”. Working families with 9-24 month olds need help now for childcare costs not in 2024-25.
In eligible homes where all adults work 16+hrs. Plan is 30hrs childcare a week in Eng for 9mths to school age (Eng only, but funds to other UK nations). It'll be phased
-April 24, 2yr olds 15hr/wk
-Sept 24 all 9mths-3yr 15hrs/wk
-Sept 25 all 9mth to school 30hrs/wk

“We can make a big difference on childcare”
Chancellor Jeremy Hunt says his budget will “break down the barriers” to people getting into work including by “paying people’s help for childcare up front” if they are on Universal Credit

This Brexiteer blasts the 'lies and corruption' told by the 'unelected dictatorship of the EU' but after a 17-minute call with James O’Brien, he fails to offer a single example…
…James signs off with a love to the family.
