the clever thing about liberal media organisations mollycoddling fascists is that when the fascists get into power they will be grateful to the liberal media organisations and won’t try to destroy them!!!

Seems the difference between ‘protestors’ and ‘terrorists’ is that protestors wear balaclavas while terrorists hold placards.

So, if I understand Nigel Farage's argument correctly it is: "Everyone I trusted and elevated into a position of responsibility is constantly doing crimes that benefit me but of which I somehow have no knowledge. I am a man with the character, judgement, and intelligence to run the country." Ok.

Jerry & Margot voted Remain. Him because he worked for a firm that imported and exported and he actually understood their business, and her because "I simply have never been able to stand any man called Nigel." Tom was Lexit. Barbara voted Remain but told Tom she voted Leave.

Look, put simply, people should not be comfortable saying that in public and the way to fix society runs directly through making them afraid to say it again.

Jason Arday resigned from Jesus and the education faculty and asked people to stop nine days ago in his resignation letter That should have been the end of it, but instead it became a blood sport for the press and monetised social media alike - the money was too good, the attention too valuable

Here's the thing about all those vaunted "blue-collar" jobs - they sucked. People died and suffered lifelong disabilities from working in them for shit wages for shit owners all while politicians extolled the virtues of those workers' servitude while cashing checks from their overlords.

the target audience of labour should have been the pink-haired barista in the coffee shop, if we're taking the whole "working class" thing seriously but again, class is not what you think it is, is what *other* people label you

I run a meet-up group in Belfast for people who have moved here from around the world, or who - like me - grew up here, moved away, and came back. I’ve met hundreds of people from around the globe over the years. I personally know people of colour left distraught over what’s happened.

Social media here is now full of people saying “I’m a person of colour, I’m terrified” or “I don’t think I can live here anymore” or “My children are asking me if they will be attacked because they are not white” or “will I be safe going to work?”

FPTP is like The One Ring of politics in the UK. They know they need to destroy it, but once it's in their hands they think "Why shouldn't we keep it? We can use it for good!" and then everything goes dead-Boromir-shaped

If your gut reaction to Jewish people expressing fear and horror that people are attacking us on the street is to point out how much you dislike the Israeli government, you are part of the problem. You are contributing to the sense that we are not welcome here. And you should maybe think about that
