We had lead pipes when i lived in a Lambeth council property and i was never angrier or more generally fucked up than when i lived in Lambeth.

it still is a shameful thing which is why no racist will ever admit that they're a racist.

Starmer has seen it as a way of gaining support from the same sort of people who like putting flags all over roundabouts an up lampposts.

he stood on the promise that he would be doing precisely that. I voted for him largely because he made that promise.

At least they've finally started including the Green leader, but i suspect only because they intend to roll out maximum misinformation about him.

Yeah but I still don't remember him being popular in any poll that i've seen - not even when he was first elected.

The people who could change things - who know all the facts - are refusing to make the changes needed and are flooding the media with counterfactual propaganda to confuse people. We need people to be angry at being lied to not terrified.

Nope - that's not how people behave when they're terrified.

A US Christian legal org called the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) is working to roll back abortion rights here using the same playbook it used in the US: briefing politicians, watching, waiting.

Put all the blame on Farage if you like but the you'll be ignoring the role played by the media and by the tories, and by New Labour, and by Starmer, as well as the 30% or so ordinary British people who seem to live and breathe hatred of minorities on a daily basis.
