I kept this screengrab after the general election because I sorta knew this slimeball would say something else at some point.
This is why it's so important to be intersectional: the bigots always are.

For Shabana Mahmood to attack some of the most cruelly treated people in the world as having won a "golden ticket" because they manage to get to and claim asylum in Britain is unforgiveable.
A new, far right, low for which I can think of no precedent, by any UK Government.

This was a great book. Learnt a lot about her I didn't already know, and it's a very refreshingly honest and self-reflecting read. Can recommend.

Using Golden Ticket to describe people who have fled war and destitution to legally seek asylum. An internationally recognized legal right that the UK is treaty bound to recognize is pure cruelty and evil. It is the language of Nazis, of deportations, of camps and life unworthy of life. Evil.

It's almost as if all the threats about "wealth/business leaving" when the left get elected are nothing more than scaremongering bullshit.

New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani's democratic socialist views spark fears companies and capital will flee, but top real estate CEOs say it's not true.

Einfach erbärmlich.
In a nutshell: Der Berliner SPD-Abgeordnete Mathias Schulz stimmte Mittwoch gemeinsam mit seiner Fraktion, CDU & AfD gegen die Einleitung eines AfD-Verbotsverfahrens.
Derweil klebte auf seinem Notebook gut sichtbar ein Sticker mit dem Aufdruck »AfD-Verbot jetzt«.

Berliner SPD bremst beim AfD-Verbot
Auf allen Kanälen sprechen sich die Berliner Sozialdemokrat*innen für ein Verbot der AfD aus. In politisches Handeln hat sich dieses Bekenntnis bisher nicht übersetzt. Im Gegenteil.

During my run in the park today some poor dude collapsed. Another person and I called the ambulance who took him away.
The notable thing for me that literally every person that passed stopped and asked if they could help (rather than just gawking). Must remember: deep down, people are good.

Petition to ban "aus betrieblichen Gründen" as an excuse for anything on the grounds that it means fuck all.

Maybe Brits are just super angry there's at least one extra step they need to take now to bash one out and that's why Labour's lead will never recover.
Maybe they're not actually that racist and are just pretending to be because it's easier than admitting to being really upset about wank obstacles.
