This is very funny, because we'll see store and bank branches reopen. Only because no one will want to deal with AI.

This is a very good thread (as per usual), but the question imo is not about being able to, but even willing to try. Nothing so far has indicated that Burnham's view of migration is much different from Corbyn's/Farage's/Mahmood's, i.e. that's the biggest overarching problem UK faces.

Still, I'm sure this will all work out, it's not as if we have a bunch of examples of people rhapsodising over Starmer in July 2024 that subsequently came to look very embarrassing.

Fair enough that Burnham says he will lay out options for long-term relationship with EU, especially if he's clear about costs and benefits of each But still a bit of can-kicking, given those options are well-known and all take time to achieve, time that isn't in great supply

I'm glad straight white English guys are happy, but Mahmood is still a Home Secretary and Stephenson is still at EHRC. Until that changes, it's all superficial words that'll lead to no real change outside of tinkering around the edges.

I'll believe that if Shabana Mahmood is gone by the end of the week. If not, that's just empty sloganeering. There is simply no way to reform services in Britain without ditching governmental racism, triple lock or not. But that's something Burnahm has so far absolutely didn't want to do.

I think it will take some time for everyone to realise that everything around AI is approximately 99% hitler particles by volume at the moment. It doesn't mean it has to be, a lot of solid tech was built by nazis (VW, space flight etc), but it will take time to wrestle it out of there.

Absolute bullshit. Literally in the next sentence he says the neonazis are right and he's woth them!

Screenshot with a quote from Burnham: "Immigration needs to be dealt with, I will be the first to say that and we are dealing with it. The boat crossings have been halved since six years ago, net migration is down massively."

Burnham: Obviously it was completely wrong of Slasher Bob to kill 27 women because he thinks women in public places are slutwhores. That is abhorrent sexism & poisonous Burnham: also uneccesarry as we are banning women from all public places next week due to reasonable concerns they are slutwhores

I think once black clad men are interfering with rescues at sea, we are past "legitimate concerns". Once they're attacking boats, and risking the lives of everyone on board, it's just thuggery. The Home Secretary's statement is on the side of criminals. There's no other way to read it.

Yeah, this. There was never a non-racist brexit, the same way there was never a non-racist trumpist. Sure, for some the racism part is the by-product, while for others it is the main deal, but the result is ultimately the same.

Balaclava-clad thugs on the streets of Dover is a natural consequence of the demonisation of immigrants. If you’ve ever advocated for controls on immigration as though immigration were inherently bad, you are part of this. Ed Miliband’s mug. Keir Starmer’s speech. All part of this.
