It’s apparently ok under right wing rules for white brits to abuse women. It’s just boys being boys and we have to tolerate it. Disgusting misogyny and racism.

Sarah Pochin raised "concerns" in parliament about the impact of second homes on rural communities. Two days later she purchased an £800,000 second home on Anglesey. Remarkable stuff. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

10 of the last 15 Premier League titles have been won by teams who have been found to be financially cheating. If Man City don't receive a severe sanction then the PL loses every shred of credibility that it still possesses ( which is not much ).

You have to understand folks that RefUK don't care if they make life shittier for everyone, they don't even care if they make life shittier for themselves, they just want to be able to tell us what to do. They get a kick out of being in "authority" but care zero for the job of making things better.

Hear me out folks. Let’s allow Piddington to leave the Union. It’s now a “foreign country” We can send all asylum seekers there for processing, and by doing so will have deported them as well, just like these Awfully White People With Genuine Concerns demand.

These people didn't want asylum seekers put up in hotels, now they don't want them put up in unused military barracks, and they certainly won't want them not detained anywhere, so clearly what they object too is asylum seekers claiming asylum here in the UK.

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...

Piddington lived alongside 1,100 soldiers and 1,500 civilian workers on the base without a single complaint, while an open prison sits just a few miles away. The reason for the sudden panic over new arrivals is blatant.

I do not need bigots speaking up for me. As a 61 year old woman I can speak for myself. I am seriously pissed off that this is even being discussed. Stop the pseudo Christianity crap and call it out. It is racist ideology designed to keep the power base where it's always been, with thick white men.

Yesterday the #BBCNews web page had a prominent, completely uncritical piece about Patriot Platform ( ie UK Fascists ). I know they are supposed to unbiased, but really? If they feel unable to criticise them just ignore them, and don't give them the publicity they thrive on.

I do find odd that we all apparently enjoy the right to enter a hotel uninvited, go to the guest floors, knock on the doors of complete strangers on the grounds that they are not white - and yet not commit any offence.

Venus is 2.8 times hotter than Mercury, despite Mercury being closer to the Sun. Why? Venus' atmosphere is primarily CO2, which traps heat. So what happens when we add CO2 to our atmosphere? It traps heat. This shouldn't be that difficult to understand.

The right wing clowns over on facebook insist that the boat at Portsmouth was not in danger and thus didn't need the RNLI. I point out that if the boat was not in danger then it would have reached the UK anyway irrespective of the actions of the RNLI. None have been able to answer.

There's an argument for calling them masked thugs, because that is factually true. There's an argument for calling them pathetic cosplaying loser incels, also true, and laughing at them damages their tough-guy self image and hurts recruitment. There is no argument for calling them protesters.
