Someone on here said they say ‘it’s that band I was telling you about!’ to their partner whenever they hear the Beatles being played anywhere. I have done this to my wife several times now and she does not appreciate it

So this just misses the point entirely. Likely impact will be short-term before shunting the problem elsewhere in the system - like the mental health system with associated costs, when it will end up costing the welfare system more in the medium term. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I'm kinda fully over that "the British conquered the world for spices and don't use any of them" joke because for one, you cannot recycle material for 5 straight generations and get a laugh worth a damn but also because in order to make it you have to agree with Tommy Robinson about who is British

I am not saying our current system is perfect or anything but civilization simply cannot survive on mural painting and baking sourdough alone. Also I really, really wish people would stop trying to equate gardening with agriculture. People like gardening in part because it is LOW STAKES

Braverman should be asked if she rejects Ed Miliband being English (Jewish European parents). It would be highly racialised to say "no, Jews can't be Englieh for 5-6 generations" which is her logic. But perhaos even more racist to say "Miliband yes, Sunak no" (on visible skin colour, not ancestry)

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

This only works by accepting we are a national culture rather than an ethnicity. And a national culture can be 'breathed in' by newcomers. That's what the ethnats hate.

Re English ethnicity: There's no ethnicity or DNA marker that maps well onto England. Same true 150 years ago. At high level, our ethnicity blends with other NW Europeans. At next level, it goes sub-national: Geordies are v Scottish; NW, SW and welsh borders different. English is a national culture

Map of identifiable sub-national DNA groupings in the UK. While a large identifiable Central/South England DNA group stands out (that's similar to the Dutch), there are others within England's borders: in the North East, North West, South West and Welsh marches. Are those people 'not ethnically English'?

All evidence of the last 20 odd years suggests to me that the average Lib Dem result is 12% and 60 seats and the moment a leader attempts anything proactive to improve that position by taking distinct policy views, their support only goes down.

1/ Why did things implode so dismally for Keir Starmer’s govt? I worked for Labour in the years running up to GE 2024 and have since puzzled over this question. Last week I published two pieces, asking ‘what we wrong’. I added a third, expanding on economic fairness – a key theme from the first two.

The usual moral “I’ll support anything as long as the rosette is red” voids in the replies to this. The reality is that Sunak did take real political damage in sacking Braverman and taking the whip from Anderson. Starmer and Burnham both useless on this.

A lot of Labour people visibly believe that a Labour government gives off tolerance particles, and therefore sitting mute is fine and good. The reality is that it took a cross party, whole society effort to make us, as Sunak says, the most successful multiethnic, multifaith democracy in the world:
