I'd have more respect for racists if they just said "I am a racist." All this dancing around "they won't integrate" and "legitimate concerns" is mealy-mouthed bollocks. Just grow a spine. Have the courage of you fucking awful convictions, and stop assuming we're all as stupid as you are.

"There are parts of Luton – and the police will tell you this – that are no-go areas where white people won't go" Police say that's false But this Tory shadow-minister still uses false claims to justify "a consensus on the right" that immigration is a disaster www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Impulsive. Reckless. Liar. Drunk. Addict. Manipulative. Obsessive. Self-destructive. Homewrecker. Emotionally catastrophic. But other than that, she's pretty much keeping it together.

I think #Wulferhampton should hold elections every day. It's so relaxing and coherent, it's like Covid and Brexit at the same time, but run by Gavin Williamson.

This week: Passed the halfway point writing the 6th Erin Callahan book. Should finish in about a month. Out around Christmas. Almost certainly called The Beatitudes. Plotted the 7th. And bits of the 8th. And 9th. Sometimes my brain has days like this, and I just hold on and take notes.

Counter-argument: This is awful. Lego used to be a £20 box of bricks and no rules, to let a kid's imagination run riot. Then smash it and start again. Now it's a £140 kit to make one thing that happened before the kid was even born. Then put it on a shelf and dust it. Go shit in your hat, Lego.

Avg GDP growth 1945-79: 2.8% Since then: 1.6% And this apparently "broken, economically stagnant" basket case kept its AAA status right through the Winter of Discontent We lost it under Cameron, and it fell again under May, then Johnson, and then Truss: i.e. the whole time Clarke was in govt

It only feels “radically progressive” because we’ve spent 40 years normalising radically regressive ideas. This was broadly how Britain worked from 1945–79, when average GDP growth was 2.6% a year — compared with 1.9% in the post-Thatcher years. It works www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
