We choose or own refs now.

No sudden rupture is now required for the far right to take power in this country. For what we're seeing is a steady normalisation of extremists by the Conservative and Labour Parties, BBC, Telegraph, Mail and others. A shift once considered unthinkable beings to look acceptable, even inevitable.🧵

Highlighted quote from the racist man "... well integrated communities. That does not happen in all parts of our country. I do not want my children to grow up in a country where people of one skin colour live in one part of town, people of another skin colour live in another world."

Someone educate this jenrick bitch about white flight.

There are clear links and continuities between the trajectory of Jenrick's rhetoric and the increasingly warlike language used in the US by MAGA Trump figures against their perceived enemies

Jenrick is a potential case study for the hypothesis that quite a few Conservative MPs and Spads whose brains have been marinated in Right wing American social media are increasingly being sucked into a civil war mindset that has embedded itself among many leading MAGA Trump figures.

His media team wargamed this.

They know that
They don't care.

They'll say "it's not about colour" when you challenge them and will rant on about something else they hate (don't understand).
Some of my best friends are racists.

They/we will be more visible ON THE BUS if we don't have cars. There may be more of "them" ON THE STREET if they don't get to work from home.

"They" are delivering your babies and your food.

"They" speak English just fine. Ask them how their day went, you fuxs.

If you're only seeing one kind of person ON THE STREET it's because: a) you're not looking hard enough you shallow person; b) you live somewhere that's been robbed of the world's culture yiu sad sad being; c) you are seeing poor folks who HAVE TO USE THE STREET.

While we're on the Jenrick Farage General Racism subject, remember, when you're out talking to your both sides friends that there are NO areas in the UK that are "predominantly" non-white. None.

It's heartbreaking.
They'll say to her (our) face: We don't mean you, your [sic] OK, and she believes them.

Politics is downstream of culture 👍

Hmm. Citizen of everywhere here being Scottish born, raised in England, London naturalised and child of both Scotland (UK) and Trinidad (British subject) I'm as British as it gets. I can't be one at a time.

"our politicians have given permission for old hatreds and prejudices to be given a 21st-century refit: if you are not white, or speak with a different accent or in a foreign language, you may find yourself at the cruellest intersection of politics"

But mainly...SAMBO'S?!?

Apple Pie à la Modi?!

Age yourself with a film you saw in the cinema as a kid.

(Certificate 14. I was not yet 14.)

Or à la Death In Paradise... The most famous actor should be your prime suspect if not the first dead.

I'm with you. Two eps in and I'm skipping to the part when they stop whining because they're all dead.

For. Shame.

Why is it that the same media who can't wait to cover every brain fart that emerges from Farage's mouth seem uninterested in a scandal showing close associates of Farage taking bribes to spread Russian misinformation?

Reform UK's ex-Wales leader Nathan Gill admits pro-Russia bribery Nathan Gill admits eight charges of bribery while being a Member of the European Parliament.

How is this not front page news?

Michael Crick: “today's Nathan Gill accepting Russian bribes conviction storh wasn't mentioned on either the BBC Ten O'Clock News or Newsnight. Gill, Farage and Reform must be delighted.”
