it is truly a mystery why immigrant communities in birmingham choose to live in the same areas instead of all moving in, separately, next to white people in handsworth and smethwick

What should happen: National revulsion, hounded out of public life

What will happen: New set design for Sky News as three very, very right wing parties fight out The Deportation Election

So to summarise, this is a white politician blaming a black journalist for the racism he is now actively helping to promote, after receiving the full endorsement of his own party leader

Hey chums , donโ€™t forget that tomorrow is a special day for a free speech warrior & surprise masturbator to join hands at Riyadh comedy festival (& Jack Whitehall will be there for some splashback) - & theyโ€™ll still be on your TV all the time because these values are more acceptable than socialism

BBC Laura Kuenssberg Show Accused of Anti-Green Bias After Cancelling Zack Polanski Interview The new Green Party leader was the only major party leader not to have been granted a conference interview on the flagship BBC show

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead.

This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

Trump has declared he will wage war on Sweden and Norway unless he is awarded the Nobel Peace Prize by Thursday - โ€œlet me make it clear, the Nobels will have blood on their hands if I donโ€™t have a peace prize and Iโ€™m not afraid to kill children and short old men to get the prize for best peaceโ€

the people who told us to calm down because Roe was settled law are the same people now telling us to calm down because the military would never open fire on Americans

The drum loop on the bit of U2 theyโ€™ve sampled (the intro to Numb) is itself a sample; itโ€™s clip of a Nazi drummer boy from Triumph of the Willโ€ฆ

Thanks. It also helps me see through bullshit conspiracy theories.
Conspiracy theorists are not free thinkers; they just find something else to blindly follow.

One autistic trait I definitely have is resistance to social and peer pressure. We can usually tell when something is bullshit.

We also tend to have a fairly unshakable sense of right and wrong and an inability to tolerate or overlook injustice.

Itโ€™s no wonder Trump and RFK want to wipe us out.
