“It sounded as if he was suggesting that songs about gassing Jews, Asians and Black people amount to no more than “banter”. That’s not schoolboy Farage talking, but the Farage of 2025.”

Yes. Same racism. Now weaponised by the wealth and power of the far right.

This is a long, detailed article and yet there is NO mention of climate change or the impacts of our burning of fossil fuels or our massive coal exports or anything else to do with causation.

So not real journalism; just entertainment in print.

We know that Trump or Vance and their state sycophants will pardon many of the criminals in their ranks.

But there can be no pardon for war crimes and they can't exclude themselves from universal jurisdiction.

May the International Criminal Court feature prominently in Hegseth's future.

The fucking irony of this Jew to cape Third Reich white supremacist talking points BECAUSE his grandparents could assimilate into US culture when whiteness expanded just enough for them.

(One day he might find that this same conditional whiteness he was granted is more conditional+ less secure.)
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.

And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

Thing is, there really were people who conceded this would happen and claimed it was nevertheless outweighed by the sovereignty Britain would gain. I wonder what happened to them.
Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

Yeah, good. Not everything everywhere can be done perfectly; that is an impossibility. By all means try harder, and fix it when you find it, but there are more important things than a very few rarely used brake pads.

I'm just going to say that my work-life balance is awful .. I know this, my friends know this. Trust me, I'm chronically bad at it.

But given that, I am still SO much more than my job. The idea that we need to make work even MORE centric to our lives via "integration" is a toxic US cultural import.
