This is such brilliant archaeology. There's a bit of a persistent story that Britain was somehow culturally separate from europe in the Roman empire when it was so intertwined and connected by people and goods travelling.

I'm convinced drivers who know the difference between full beam, dipped, fog and park lights are now in the minority. Also some of these ebikes have lights that can be used to tell ships they are about to make landfall

High earners, key workers and entrepreneurs don't want to live here anymore lol but sure try to attract them by not even hiding your hatred of people who weren't born here 😂

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

If you are white and you’ve grown up working class in London then people of colour are your school friends, your neighbours, your colleagues, your friends and in many cases your family.

When will Britain’s privately educated elites integrate with the rest of society and stop using making frankly baseless arguments that the problem is Black and brown people and not decades of neoliberal policies that have seen a wealth transfer upwards?

The white people I know in London who grew up here have friends neighbours and lovers who are people of colour Ed West who is of course posh doesn’t speak for them
No surprise that Ed West thinks you have to be white for London to be "your city", but still shocking that the *London* Standard prints this stuff.

It is an absolutely delightful irony that the richest man in the world is universally acknowledged to be a huge fucking loser who not a single living person envies in any way at all
Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

Sometimes I view the surprise or shock at how bad Trump and Republicans are or how supportive white voters are as a symptom of this ignorance. Very recently—in living memory—it was normal to publicly suggest that Black people were incapable of independent thought or self-government.
Something that I don’t think people realize is how bonkers racist society was for a long time. Like it is racist now but it was *SO RACIST* that it is hard to describe it without sounding unhinged
