Sorry you were offended by what I said is NEVER an apology.
Unless you say “sorry what I said was wrong” you might as well not bother.

Focussing on a small amount of a minority you don't like at the expense of focussing on those who are committing the majority of the crimes is clearly just bigotry pure and simple.
Sorry.

I despair at the way that the human brain can shape information to reinforce its own prejudices.
To my mind there is no difference between Tommy Robinson types who fixate on the minority of asian paedos in the UK and those who fixate on a handful of offenders to deny the rights of all trans people.

Reform have miscalculated in Wales to a huge degree, by positioning themselves as an English Nationalist Party.
Yes. We have racist wankers in Wales, but our racist wankers hate the English more than anyone else.

Fucking spiv! A Labour Health Secretary sponsored by money from private healthcare ... the very definition of a career politician who has been shaped by Peter Mandelson ... supported sending arms to Israel in public while privately saying they were committing war crimes with them ... a dickhead!
EXCL: Wes Streeting allies say he still wants to replace Starmer & is willing to stand against him as soon as after byelection. (Health sec says claim is “categorically untrue”)

You don't see many women who are billionaires do you?
That's not any kind of slight against women ... quite the opposite.
There is nothing useful to humanity about billionaireship ... they are parasites which suck resources from the rest of the population. They tend to be men!

Immediately putting paid to the idea that people who aren't white can't be the most English thing in the world. Fuck you Robert Jenrick/Nigel Farage etc... this bloke is more English than a molecule in your little fingers!

Downing Street weighing in on Jim Ratcliffe's comments about immigration. A Number 10 spokesperson said “Jim Ratcliffe should immediately apologise. His offensive remarks are wrong and play into the hands of those who want to divide our country.”

Oh I see … my first day off and Richard Osmans House of Games has been been replaced by the 24hr coverage of “sliding around on ice in a mind-boggling amount of different ways as if that’s somehow important and not extremely silly”
Sigh!

The baffling thing journalists (especially BBC) just seem to let Labour get away with "he lied during vetting" when Mandelson's deep and repeated corruption is on his fucking Wikipedia page.
New Labour is dying with its architect. All his influence needs to be rooted out like dry rot.

It is so embarrassing that it has taken nearly a decade for a British minister to say this, a statement of the absolute bloody obvious

Wes Streeting has admitted that Israel is committing war crimes.
In doing so, he has admitted that his government has broken the law.
The government is legally obliged not to sell combat aircraft components to states committing war crimes.

They have betrayed the trust of the votes lent to them in order to get rid of the Tories after 14 years of hell. And apologists like you are incapable of seeing that that is an absolute disaster in the long term for both Labour and the country.

And why has he listened to unelected advisors like Morgan McSweeney more than his elected Labour MPs … or non-transparently funded think-tanks (lobby groups) like Labour Together rather than the Labour Party membership?

No more unaccountable dodgy think-tanks like Labour Together … no more favours for lobby groups. Just govern for the benefit of the people of the UK and do it WITH the backing of Labour MPs … not threatening them in to submission by the executive.

But his chances of being remembered as any kind of strong leader or visionary politician are totally out of the window now. He is nothing but an empty, not very charismatic shell for others to impose their political agendas upon.

Well the last 72 hours has taught us that Keir Starmer has been nothing but a puppet Prime Minister, a vehicle that’s been driven by some weird very right-wing faction of Labour since the election.
If he gets himself a new moderate driver to shove their hand up his arse he might do quite well!
