This is why they’re investing in compounds and shock collars.

Hello. The podcast I do with Andy 'not on the socials' Robinson has a new episode.

We talk about pop records from the past, and this week it's 1983 (see clip for songs).

Head to linktr.ee/shoobypodcast to listen and support podcasts by people who aren't already famous millionaires.

If Premier League football teams
were run like The Arts, each XI would have one non-white player and ten privately educated sons of the owner’s mates.

On the plus side there’d be a lot of comedy defending.

FUN FACT: I no longer mention where I'm from on-stage (unless I'm local).

Too many hecklers were shouting out words to the effect of 'but you're white?' (usually they'd include an ethnic slur) and me telling them to go forth and multiply because they were a thick racist c-bomb, although cathartic, was derailing my 20 minutes of bon homie, banter and witticisms.   Luckily for me I suppose, I have the privilege of blending in with the majority.

If individuals were shouting it, then many more were probably thinking it - and those are the people Jenrick is going after.

The *ahem* 'low information voters' in small towns who believe that there are no white people in Birmingham and that London is under Sharia Law because they've  'done their own research' by seeing memes on social media, reading the Daily Mail or watching GBeebies.  But not by actually visiting either city.

And the rest of us have to watch the Dog Whistle Greatest Hits getting wheeled out again, because racists only have one playbook and they use it time after time hoping that we'll have forgotten when their easily disprovable bullshit was last debunked.

If I was a Tory, I'd be absolutely appalled that this is what passes for 'Conservative values' in 2025.  You'd have thought the party of personal responsibility wouldn't also be the party of 'people of that demographic are all the same' but here we are.
