Trump at the Charlie Kirk memorial event: "They fired sniper rifles at ICE agents, and me. But I made a turn at a good time. I made a turn at a good time. Charlie couldn't believe it, actually."

Corporate Ponzi

Not only didn't they set it aside, they openly used racial slurs for each other in the office, neither wanted to gain disapproval of or dishonour their families

Nobody is immune - it has always been the rich and ruling classes turning poor people against each other - "those" people killed your ancestors, "those" people believe in the wrong gods, "those" people are stealing your jobs

Same old story

Other countries and cultures have bigots too, and some of them become immigrants

People like Badenoch, Patel, Mahmood, Braverman, Sunak aren't immune from being bigots due to skin colour or immigrant families

Some of the world's worst bigotry is in places like India, just to each other by class

She's a really nasty piece of work

Starmer deserves to go just for appointments like Streeting and Mahmood, terrible judgement

If China attacks Taiwan you can be pretty much guaranteed that the US will decline to come to it's defense

Trump will do a deal with China to get paid to not take any action

Yes ... but ...

It's a seat with a particular demographic, so she may well be the best option to steal it
