Rushanara Ali: "The average monthly private rent in London increased by 9.7% in the last year and is over one and a half times higher than the average monthly rent in England"

At the time people probably assumed Ali meant this was a bad thing. It turns out she was boasting!

reviving a post from the old site:

Animation is a medium, not a genre, and, like any medium, there are some concepts that can only be properly portrayed using it. House of Leaves is an unfilmable book, the wizard Ekh in the 1983 short "Wow, a talking fish!" Would never have the same impact without being animated.

[man called out for being a shithead voice] Forsooth,

Elon Musk's X 'played central role' in stoking racist riots, damning study finds Amnesty International analysis found X's algorithm prioritises posts that are most likely to contain lies and hatred - and say nothing has changed amid heightened tensions

Starmer and his regime are grossly incompetent on governance, media regulation, and holding billionaires and big social media platforms to account.

Govt could stop this and they won't because the threat is coming from within the house and the EHRC is corrupt.

What happens when tabloids and Murdoch run media in the UK:

Remember how awkward and embarrassing it was when the leader of the opposition leaned on the speaker of the house to fiddle the voting process, to keep the words “collective punishment” out of Hansard? Turns out there was no need to lean on him at all, because they’re all lads deep in it together.

the fucking gall of Alvin to name his band ‘Alvin and the chipmunks’. As if he’s not a fucking chipmunk too

Trump In Silver Old West-Style Tub

Just as a reminder, we were constantly sold *this exact politician* as the liberal, remain, EU-loving solution to the inherent darkness and racism threatened by a Corbyn-led government, and nobody has ever explained why they got that so wrong.

Boris Johnson is not thick, uneducated, or mad. He is very educated. His parents spent a lot of money ensuring he would be educated to think this way, and was then paid handsome sums of money to continue thinking that way. And until the British public fully grasp that, we will continue to suffer it.

Can't fault the clarity of Labour's message on protest. There are BAD protesters who must be punished (Irish musicians, anti-genocide vicars) and there are GOOD protesters whose views deserve respect (masked thugs with petrol bombs trying to start a pogrom)

Yvette Cooper:
– Consistently voted for the Iraq War
– Consistently voted against investigations into the Iraq War
– Consistently voted for use of UK military forces in combat operations overseas

BREAKING Sir Keir stuns with new Sugar Ray-inspired look.

I really cannot underline enough that the thing that unlocked a gajillion dollars in free wingnut propaganda money was the sight of Notable Rich Person Harvey Weinstein being dragged sobbing to jail, unprotected by the huge wealth that would otherwise have saved him.

When we say this shit is engaging, infuriating, maddening, this is exactly what we mean. We got called Hitlerian racists and despots by these people, they screamed and clutched their legs and called for the ref, and then when they swung things their way what do they do? "The fascists have a point."

Like, Angela Eagle is not, I believe, a full blood and soil racist. She's worse. She's absolutely unprincipled and believes appealing to blood and soil racists is the correct thing to do to achieve her personal ambitions for power. A howling void where a person should be.

Nick Timothy in 2019. A balding man with brown hair at either side of his head and a shabby beard that makes him look like a minor early 20th Century royal who's been kept in a cellar for a month or two.

Wouldn't you seek revenge on the world if you looked like this in your thirties?

Being right wing is so hard bc you’re not allowed to acknowledge any actual phenomena that shape the world, so when you try to describe something you just end up sounding like if a person speaking in tongues worshipped the internet instead of god

Again: all of Mel’s colleagues knew she was a volcanically racist, fascist maniac back when a far right terrorist quoted her in his “why I murdered 77 teenagers with a machine gun” manifesto. The harshest criticism I’ve seen of her by them was one columnist saying she was “very brave”.

The Left Isn’t the Right. Here’s Why That’s Bad News for the Left

By A. Centrist

That Melanie Phillips is a lunatic conspiracist bigot and racist is not remotely shocking. But the fact that the Times continues to employ her should be.

She's been a regular on the BBC's "Moral Maze" for decades, even after her words were quoted in the manifesto of a mass murdering racist. We should not be surprised by this. Instead we should ask, what job is she being asked to do, and handsomely rewarded for, by these editors?

Language on immigration in UK news and politics found to have ‘shaped backlash against antiracism’ Pattern of ‘hostile language’ in media and debates likely to describe people of colour with less sympathy, report says

Very difficult to understand how there could’ve been a “backlash against antiracism” from the same people who fought and destroyed the Hitlerian hate of the left. Unless, of course, every word of that was reckless, bleak, calculated bullshit and drivel. If that’s what it was, it makes perfect sense.
