More shocking than Donald Trump trying to get away with blatant racism is the media-washing it is treated with.
CNN's prominent use of minimisers like 'merely' & 'not the first time' & 'uncomfortable' enable the horror, while harsher criticism such as 'outrage' is relegated to the foot of the page.

Thinking about cow apocalypse and my favourite lines in #TheArchers It will be up there with “What is your favourite cow?” from Azra, certainly in cattle based ones. I think my all time favourite though is

Reform UK had appeared to be a peculiarly English phenomenon… Its nationalism is different to the kind that dominates Scottish politics: Farage’s brand is harsher, less generous in spirit, more nativist. ..it was unthinkable that Faragism could gain a foothold.😔

Scotland has passed a law that all new buildings must install ‘swift bricks’ which are hollowed out bricks to help nesting swifts and other endangered birds! Swifts are especially endangered because so many chimneys now have chimney caps. Swifts return to the same nesting spot year after year.

The US is increasingly resembling the Third Reich: US military is helping Trump to build a massive network of concentration camps.
The DHS is using a repurposed $55 billion Navy contract to convert warehouses into jails and build tent cities. These facilities should house 10,000 people each.

I wonder why he's admitting this now, of all moments, just as the odds have shortened on his getting into N° 10, cos Mandleson scandal.
Surely not because he's frit of the scrutiny governing will bring, as it is doing in all the councils reform are "running"?
