It’s a real shame the…ahem…”issues” around woody Allen will rob people of her comic perfection.

No, it's not. It's all a lie. The blunt truth is across the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them.

Outstanding piece by Stephen Daisley.

Ethnicity is no barrier to Britishness - it's culture and integration.

That means 'smaller cohorts and aggressive integration policies' - and tackling the institutions that 'have amplified grievance narratives and radical anti-Western ideologies'.

I mean, it won't. You might as well have put "cokehead announces he and his friends will open a small plates restaurant serving gourmet versions of school cafeteria food"

“Whereas other chalk horses stand stiff and still on their hillsides, elegant, sometimes, but without any spark of life, the Uffington White Horse is magical; full of movement,
power and beauty.”

Reform is racist.
Let’s just say it.
Loudly and often.
They’re racist.
Don’t take them on on how they plan to fund their nonsense.
They don’t care.
They don’t say it because they’ve worked it out.
They say it for headlines and for voters who want prejudice as policy.
They’re racist.
They’re failure.

As for the flag of St George, that’s solely the preserve of coke-addled pig-ignorant violent racist cunts with all the grace, wit, insight, nuance, empathy, humanity and meat content of a dog turd. Fuck you, cunts.
