'America is British'.
It turns out Danny Kruger is peak 'Americans are the same as us'.
Until this mindset – conscious and subconscious – is defeated in Britain, we'll never see ourselves as properly European.

‘America is British’. Heaven is ‘a socialist state’. David Attenborough is ‘anti-human’ – the startling theories of Reform MP Danny Kruger
He was a Conservative party big-hitter who wrote speeches for David Cameron and worked with Boris Johnson before he suddenly jumped ship. He talks family, flags and why Nigel Farage is ‘top dog’

I honestly don't understand how someone can say that they studied communism and socialism and not know that Stalin and Hitler took those things and corrupted them in order to propagate fascism. The men did the evil, not the concepts
Ah yes. Harvard Law School in the early 1990s, well known for its Communist professors.

I just never understood the mentality of being too stubborn to learn an unusual name properly, especially as someone with an unusual English name
"I'm half Japanese, half white, but both sides lived in Hawai’i for 3 plus generations. My name is Kau’i. It looks daunting but it’s just Ka-ooh-ee."
But when Ms White read out her name, she tripped up on the name and Kau’i corrected her pronunciation. Ms White said: "I'll call you Katherine".

By the way, for those who want to know why this denialist line is nonsense: disinfecting clothes actually requires a lot *more* Zyklon B than killing humans does - low levels of cyanide residue on the chamber walls prove that it *wasn't* being used for the former!
French authorities are taking X to court because Grok is now doing straight up holocaust denial. Gas chambers intended for disinfection, cyanide residue tiny, ‘story’ persists because of taboo against critical examination. (Full translation in alt text)

Shocking that the guy behind Happy, a song so empty, vapid and soulless that it may as well have been written by AI, is not very smart
Not surprised. Pharrell has said stuff like this before with his "New Black" comments denying racism.
He said, "The New Black doesn't blame other races for our issues".
The level of ignorance and condescension to say something like this… No one has checked him on it, so he's been saying 10 years.

As someone whose mother never took my father's name and grew up with both, this verdict is the most backwards parochial nonsense I have heard in a while. If your heritage is a heritage of abuse, maybe that heritage can get fucked?

All trains to Berlin Airport were cancelled around 1pm due to signal problems and some train worker tried to tell me that it was my fault for not going to the airport 4-5 hours early in anticipation of this, when all I'd asked him was 'what is the alternative route to the airport?'

The thing to remember about Sailor Moon is that very early in the comic she has a cat that bounces off her head out of nowhere one morning who then becomes her best friend and guide. This is a magic cat but it's also pretty much how you get a cat in real life generally as well.

NHS staff who care for patients in their own homes fear some areas have become “no-go zones” for them because of the presence of St George’s flags, health leaders have said.
Black and Asian staff have been left feeling “deliberately intimidated” as a result of the flags that were put up in many parts of England during the summer, according to the chief executive of one NHS trust in England, who asked to remain anonymous. Continue reading...
