At no point should discussions around Conservative or Reform mass deportation policies be about the "workability" or "practicality" of such policies. They should be about the inhumanity and immortality of them. They should be about the racism of them. Anything less is normalisation of xenophobia.

These maniacs are sad that advertisers are presenting black & brown people as family members, professionals and users of washing machines rather than iklwa hurling zulus, untrustworthy agents of Vichy, dockyard lascars in opium dens and double crossing Crusader infantry

What a repulsive, stupid woman
Reform UK MP Sarah Pochin, “It drives me mad seeing adverts full of black people, full of Asian people, full of anything other than white"

Followed by that time Sarah Pochin said, "My kids say: mum, you're such a moron" 👀

Indeed, what most people are thinking!
How can a woman be fined £150 for pouring a cup of coffee down a drain when water companies are still pumping billions of litres of shit into our rivers?

As part of a brand identity refresh, the Govt logo has a new dot, though not any old dot, because "the dot is a guiding hand, for life". I've no idea what that means either

They always start with free speech. It sounds reasonable, doesn’t it? Free speech? And they can use it to shut down anyone who criticises them, because it’s all “free speech”

After “free speech” it’s “protecting women and girls”

And then it’s whatever they actually wanted.
The right-wing campaign group that helped topple Roe v Wade in the US is now working to roll back abortion laws in the UK, with the help of Nigel Farage.

Its first step? Trying to create a debate around "free speech"

Men have had 10,000 years to lead humanity, and that interminable epoch led to this equally interminable concert.

I think we—I mean men—are officially done.

This concert was our grand finale.

Women—and only women—should lead the world for the next 10,000 years. Let’s see where that gets humanity.
Milei capers around on stage whilst the country falls to pieces. This is a perfect encapsulation of his role, a narcisistic fool who clowns around and holds peoples attention whilst the Argentine ruling class reduces the country back to the level of neo-colonial dependency last seen prior to 1914.

Some lovely thoughts and reflections about what it means to be human today - "an experience of living that’s jarring, thrilling, and worrying (...) and celebrating that many of our most banal daily experiences are unique, impossible for all humans who came before us"
I wrote about all the lived experiences and strange structures of modern society — many of which we take for granted — that were literally impossible for all previous generations of Homo sapiens. www.forkingpaths.co/p/we-are-dif...
We are different from all other humans in history
Countless experiences that have become routine for us are unprecedented in the history of our species. Here's why that matters.

Who counts as a "foreigner"? It's a vexed question, endlessly discussed. Following the Tory conference in 1993, the noble Lords, Viscounts and Baronesses had a lovely exchange on the subject...
