I see the Spectator is now printing naked racism from David Shipley archive.ph/Ei2Zl

example of discrimination at the fundamental level!

another example of british right-wing yimby junk tanks being anti-environment, this time with lawrence newport of looking for growth acting as though it's absurd that the head of natural england might not consider new motorways an unalloyed good

The right-wing accidentally ending up woke is always hilarious - in this case Chris Bayliss manages to be so historically illiterate that he paints car dependency as a US-exclusive problem that can be entirely blamed on racism.

a good example of a push poll asking a loaded question that perhaps isn't even aware it's doing so

The final report, with this bizarre cover, is unfortunately just as bad if not worse. It does not even try to justify its moralism, and as usual with its ilk, takes a wholly qualitative approach with absolutely no comparisons to other groups - events occur in a contextless void...

rather shocking that the spectator has now degenerated completely into "deport people based solely on nationality" racism against afghans

More idiocy from Sam Bowman and his cohort - mocking the idea of having 60% of Parliament being accessible (screenshot of proposals included to demonstrate that only that level of accessiblity is planned), insisting that any improvements to Parliament are... (more in next post but all images here)

To claim that someone involved in the niche field of miniature live steam "gave us model railways" is flagrantly dishonest. And I'm not sure what to make of calling Lawrence a "trans poster"...! Also, anyone who claims to be for trans rights but still uses Twitter is a disgusting hypocrite.

further on springbett: he works for the centre for policy studies, which all right-YIMBYs inevitably do, and as usual is trying to square the circle between YIMBYism and hatred of modern architecture

eldomtom2.bsky.social @eldomtom2.bsky.social · 25/01/2026
A typical terrible article on GBR from the YIMBY set (Hill and Springbett in this case). Note rhetorical trick in the first two paragraphs conflating law and custom, and that all blame is placed on the DfT in last paragraph, when following link shows that they were by far the only party to blame.

mark wallace's evidence for keir starmer learning notorious hackfraud dominic cummings was right (he wasn't) is that... the government is trying to reduce red tape, something it has been trying to do since it entered power mark wallace is not a very smart man

sam dumitriu is being dumb once again and continuing to live in wilful ignorance about what was actually being objected to - no it wasn't the "rhetoric", it was the rejection of the mitigation hierarchy, something he and his ilk continue to ignore

The right have gotten extreme fast on war crimes - in the Spectator's interview with former SAS George Simm, we "learn" that the GFA was a mistake (Blair should have continued fighting), the Human Rights Act was a mistake, and that any murder investigations into soldiers are completely unacceptable.

An excellent example of how those opposed to "everythingism" (Martin Robbins goes on to attack it later in this article) actually are in favour of it. Not wanting Natural England to be solely focused on the environment is pure everythingism!

Hmmm. Lost in the "teens use Tiktok for news!" hysteria is that by "news" teenage survey respondents often don't mean "political news".

I would argue against this point personally. I think Gerlach's Extermination of the European Jews makes a good argument for the Nazis seeing genocide as pragmatic and not just something pursued for ideological reasons. I thought it worth bringing up, though it isn't really related to the article.

A typical example of left-wing motte-and-bailey from the "Rural Racism Project" - the contentious "UK gardening culture has racism baked into its DNA" becomes the innocuous "mentioning gardening and racism in the same sentence"

a good reminder that gypsies were in the minority when it came to seasonal agricultural labour, and there were many more people living a nomadic or semi-nomadic life in the past (second image from farrar's report on pea pickers)

dominic cummings is completely delusional
Dominic Cummings: Zohran focused on message not donors so did not push a load of far left messages that left-billionaires push candidates to and he raised less than he could have done

Norman Dobbs - Norman Dobbs! - is implicitly slandered as racist against Travellers. All in all, a shockingly bad report, dreadful in every way, and one that the University of St Andrews should be ashamed to put its name to.

Like all reports of its kind taking a moralistic look at the past, it fails to deal with the question of moral luck though it knows it must, especially in a case like this where basic principles are still contested.

A shockingly bad report. It manages to posit that removal of children due to lack of school attendance was part of some grand "Tinker Experiment" despite proving no connection between it and few schemes to house Travellers with the hope of assimilating them.
