That fucking shower of human piss reckons it acts for the British people. Let's have a 'this-or-that' referendum then, as with Brexit. - RNLI or - Angry racists with past convictions for violence. When we discover that most of us prefer heroic volunteers to wife-beaters can we bang the cunts up?

Why does the BBC have as one of its lead news stories this morning another Britain-hating interview with Jim 'the UK has been colonised by immigrants' Ratcliffe? What public interest is this serving?

I would love to ask a prominent BBC journalist to give me an example of an illegitimate concern. Is seems to me that it has become a question not of fact, logic, or ethics but of volume. If a big enough proportion of a village was anxious about Bigfoot or Chemtrails, BBC would cover it in a way...

In June 1934 the British Union of Fascists - the Blackshirts - staged a rally at the Olympia in London. One protestor after another was singled out and beaten up by the crowd. Here's how Ronald Blythe described it.
Description of the BUF Olympia rally, at which a series of hecklers were violently attacked by Blackshirts. The sadism, Blythe writes, reached "an erotic intensity". Stanley Baldwin's private secretary expressed shock and dismay: "It was a deeply shocking scene for an Englishman to see in London."

This is appalling. These Haitians were here legally under the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program. The Trump regime spread racist lies, ended the program, declared them illegal and rounded them up in chains for deportation. Now DHS is proudly posting videos of Black Haitians in chains.

Republicans long opposed government “picking winners and losers” in the economy. I thought that was because they believe markets are the more efficient, more productive, fairer way to allocate resources. But apparently it was because there wasn’t a corrupt way for the president to personally profit.

Abraham Lincoln to Joshua F. Speed, 24 Aug 1855
How could I be? How can anyone who abhors the oppression of Negroes be in favor of degrading classes of white people? Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation we began by declaring that "all men are created equal." We now practically read it "all men are created equal except negroes." When the Know-nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except negroes and foreigners and Catholics." When it comes to this, I shall prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty,--to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocrisy.

On this day in 1868, the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified. It is best known for guaranteeing full citizenship and its protections to Black Americans. It also includes guidelines on disqualifying candidates who participated in insurrection or rebellion against the government.
Illustration in Harper's Weekly, 1965
Two Union veterans, one Black the other white, are shaking each other's hand. Both men have a leg missing and both are using crutches. 
The illustration includes the text:
A MAN KNOWS A MAN
"Give me your hand comrade! We have each lost a leg for the good cause; but, thank god we never lost heart."
