Harriet Harman used to be my MP and she once helped me with a problem I had with my bin collection… well she can get in the bin, racist pos
Harman explaining that actually, horrible migrant crackdowns are left wing politics and if you - a white person - don’t like it, then you are actively harming people from ethnic minorities. An outrageous insult to the public’s intelligence IMO, offhandedly dropping a dog turd onto your dinner plate.

Well yes, the lesson I took from The Holocaust is not that I am some special little unicorn but that it fucking sucked and we should stop it happening ever again to anyone.
I'm struck by this clip of former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz saying Holocaust education has backfired in part because people Palestinians as victims: "They think the lesson of the Holocaust is…you fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people."
