UK emigrant. Finally binned British passport to avoid saying: 'No todos somos racistas en reino unido' (we're not all racists in the UK but 52% of voters in 2016 probably were). UK's key challenge? Stop Reform's fascism. Almost vegan.. but cheese πŸ™„

That is a terrible thing to say. But in my experience probably true 😬.

Yes and then baggage handling lose your bag which contains your passport and documents (which you'd never have left in a checked-in bag) so you're stranded on arrival and unable to transfer to the next flight. Not great.

I think it's like a virus. Looking too closely seems unhealthy but it needs to be done.

No but they need false 'facts'. Which must be why they try to convince us that x% of people in the UK are Moslems and that all Moslems want to kill everyone.

Probably. As I said I really struggle to understand this, especially from outside the UK. It must be hard for racists to argue that there are too many black & brown faces in the NHS but those on TV surely support their narrative that there are very many? Then they just need to add false crime stats.

My point is that if people with black and brown faces are saving lives in the NHS that's great. And if people with black and brown faces are selling products on TV that's great too, although less important for society.

There can be few things more cynical than two men inventing an all-female group and co-opting the phrase 'girl power'.

I think Reform voters would read this from the bottom. They want the death penalty. They don't think everyone should be allowed to vote. And no to education because we've had enough of experts.

Your point about the hotel receptionist is important. I know Reform voters who wouldn't be able to name the PM. No doubt there are many more. And politicians hope the electorate will carefully assess the value of the EU or the ECHR.

I've worked in these bodies and with all due respect you're wrong.

Looking for serious answers or sarcastic? Not being familiar with the syllabus I'm going with the latter. 1930s Germany.

The prime minister has a lot of influence over Ofcom, and even more over law enforcement. If he chooses not to exercise that influence for fear of souring relations with the USA that's the issue.

He holds it to account by using existing government apparatus including Ofcom and HMRC. And if you don't think dangerous racists are a top problem for the UK we'll disagree.

See what you mean. But for whatever reason existing laws aren't being used to stop his incitement of violence. Oh - and it was a figure of speech!

By holding X to account. By taking the government off it. By pointing out that he's a dangerous racist.

That's grotesque. Especially if it's not AI-generated.

Comment on the ethnicity of actors in TV commercials and you're probably racist? But comment on the ethnicity of NHS doctors and you're probably anti-racist? Just trying to get my head around the UK in 2025.

I think he's trying to make the point that Black and Asian people are good at getting jobs in the advertising industry. But how that supports his apparently racist narrative eludes me.

Sure. But would it be a bad thing if it *was* true?

He can't but it doesn't matter. If those figures were correct it would be good news.

What's the point you think you're making here? Those figures are probably not correct but if they are, great. Why does this make you mad?

It's hard to put yourself in Sarah Pochin's shoes. Not that you'd want to. Black & Asian people in adverts make her mad. Presumably in the American sense of the word. Why? Because it doesn't reflect society, she says. Adverts aren't meant to reflect society. Is it she fears we'll like the people?

'Whites becoming a minority' is one of their obsessions and it's quite interesting. Those who say it obviously see that as problematic but why? As soon as 51% of the population is Black there'll be revenge for slavery?
