the actually good BTCC Volvo 850 π
(don't get me started on this)
Over the last two years, there have been assaults, violent attacks on mosques, and anti-Muslim rhetoric from prominent figures on the far right. But there's also been renewed scrutiny of issues within Muslim communities, and how well integration has happened. There are questions about how well successive governments have engaged with Muslims to deal with issues in their own communities, and Islamophobia from outside.
So the BBC did an article about a Muslim man who got hideous racist abuse for appearing in a βWelcomeβ advert at Heathrow airportβ¦
β¦and they included this passage. What the actual fuck is wrong with them?!

Brendan O'Neill Published 28 February 2026 8:00am GMT If Queers for Palestine were a person, it would be Hannah Spencer. No one better sums up the dimness and sheer vacuity of the modern Left than the new MP for Gorton and Denton. There she is in her blue jeans and trendy trainers dancing awkwardly as Muslim men who dream of wrapping her sinful body in a black cloak look on with restrained fury

he came up and stood next to me and my dad to watch that race, and before it started he was asking a few questions about how we thought it might go
and then just dropped in 'oh yeah that's my grandson by the way' which was kinda wild, but very cool π
been a fan of Jake ever since π
this is somewhat close to my fan relationship with Jake Hill (I watched his first BTCC race win with his grandad, by pure chance)
