Great piece by the way. And I am sure you are familiar with it but Jimmy Cauty’s β€˜Space’ album is worth a dabble if you’re not: www.discogs.com/master/63579...

Sometimes it feels like it goes on for ages and sometimes it feels like it’s over in the in hardly any time at all. But it’s always bloody amazing

The wider problem here is the BBC’s long history of giving lying grifters like this legitimacy and a platform

The only good thing about Braverman are the photos from her wedding reception.

They aren’t speaking up because they just use Remembrance as an extension of their nationalism and their racism. Same way they don’t really care about protecting β€˜are kids’ or women.

It also presupposes that people can’t change their minds. Even on such an important issue and one where all the evidence points to it being an abject failure. But it is the Express

I’ve heard totally sincere comments from people saying it’s a horrible, crime-ridden place and that they haven’t been for 15, 20 years (or even longer).

It’s an age old trick of the right to attack their opponents as being against people having fun.

Fair comment. I suppose this way at least people actually hear his argument rather than getting the heavily biased take on it.

Funny that they don’t realise that, if their motivation is to β€˜oppose woke’ then it’s obvious that they are the ones easily wound up. That lot do tend to be the biggest snowflakes though.

I completely get where you are coming from in the sense that almost all of the viewers are most probably a lost cause. I just think there is some merit to telling them stuff they don’t usually hear on there. Pissing in the wind can have its merits too. You just need to get the direction right ;-)

I think there’s merit in telling them unpalatable truths.
