Congratulations.. and welcome! 😀

Robert Jenrick is right, we have an integration problem: ... The shadow chancellor has railed against the lack of integration in parts of Britain. But it’s the ‘flag-bothering patriots’ who don’t want to mix

It presumably has not escaped your notice that in your terminology pro uk parties have a majority?

While the Tories want to scrap VAT on private schools, Labour are introducing breakfast clubs across the country to help the poorest in society. Labour spoke about a Britain built for all, and tackling child poverty. The difference between the two parties is clear.

I want to grow on here. If you enjoy what I (and we) do, please do recommend us. Much appreciated

Huh? 😀

I worked in Small Heath in Brum for 25 years. Not very integrated, ( whatever that means) but the question is so what? Me and several colleagues went for lunchtime walks most days around the local streets and parks and never once felt uneasy .. ? So what’s jenricks issue?

Do watch this. It’s very good. Sound absolutely on.

Murdoch paywall alas ..

Good guess .. that’s what they said! Analogue or some such twaddle.. amazing scenes though!

I know statistics are poorly understood and are misused. But facts matter

Between the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them

The post includes a meme featuring a photo of several men in suits, with text overlay stating: "Instead of 'billionaires' can we go back to calling them 'robber barons'?" The individuals in the photo appear to be prominent figures, though they are not specifically identified.

I’m down for this.

"Let's see how she flies." (#OTD in 1944. A captured Messerschmitt Me 410. #WW2 #HISTORY)

I think that’s the one that is now at the RAF Midlands Museum at Cosford.

if that HIGNFY Euan Blair fuckup had been about a right-winger it'd have had full front-page scandal coverage in the Mail followed by frontpage coverage across the board for the next week, days of "BBC in crisis" headline coverage by the BBC, and parliamentary questions about Tim Davie's future

The image is an X post by Mike Nellis (@MikeNellis ) from 19 hours ago, stating: "So let me get this straight: a Blackhawk helicopter and dozens of masked, armed federal agents roll up on a Chicago apartment building, cuff everyone—including kids—and then run checks for warrants and immigration status? What the hell is going on in this country? How is that not fascism?" The post includes a verified badge.

Narrator: This is fascism.

I know this is obvious when you think about it but we don’t think about it enough: fascists have to cow & persecute decent journalists to prevent them from reporting exactly what they, the fascists, are doing. Fascist-adjacent ‘journalists’ help by insisting that we shouldn’t call fascists facsists.

That nerk off the apprentice being voted off strictly

rubbish news abounds but this was a bright spot

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.

I hate that it's come to this, but I'm proud to see Americans doing this.

If your country hasn’t issued a travel warning regarding visiting the US due to political violence by the government it’s doing you a disservice

Who are these paramilitaries? Can’t make out the patch?

If I saw one of my soldiers do this to someone in Iraq, I'd have them up on charges.

I mean honestly if I were interviewing her this morning I’d put together a montage of ICE smashing car windows over children, smashing people against walls etc. and say ‘just so I’m clear Kemi, this is what you want?’

And he’s from Glasgow?
