So, the logic is "If we do enough abhorrent things to first-gen migrants, then we'll see off Reform, thereby preventing terrible things happening to established ethnic minorities?" Is it a twisted form of "Respectability Politics"? Trevor Phillips is surely old enough to know better.

Sigh. I wasn't explaining it to you I was just conversing, the way people converse, just chatting away. I forgot that the Internet doesn't work like it used to, where people said things and other people responded and it was taken as a normal social interaction.

It's a rehash of the old "fake gamer girl"/"fake geek girl" nonsense, that's been doing the rounds for decades. In fact, men always like to claim women are inauthentic fans, from football to music to trains to Lego to twitching.

Orange.

I haven't touched it in months! Upon waking I briefly considered creating a dashboard to visualise some data I'd been wrangling in Stata, but came to my senses.

www.theguardian.com/education/20... This is the an definitely origin story for a super villain. If both his parents are killed in a mysterious accident when he's 14 years old, we'll know why.

You know, this is exactly how things work in those "shit hole countries". Unsurprisingly, that isn't because they're run by people inherently inferior, but because they had the same crappy economic policies forced on them by the IMF/WB.

How can they simultaneously complain that migrants aren't integrating and then propose legislation designed to ensure that migrants can never feel safe or secure? Why would you build a life here if the slightest mishap means you could lose it all?

He's lying. No one has reached out, except his mum and a couple of mates.

They keep on expanding the scope of their "hostile environment", eh? Not long now until it formally encompasses second- and third-generation migrants. Who knows what other insane, retrograde ideas they can dredge up? Maybe they'll suggest transporting all convicts, regardless of citizenship.

British citizens, regardless of ethnic background, should probably be concerned about what they're gonna do once they've deported everyone.

Yep, and I get it. It must be annoying AF to have people "improve" on a post you've workshopped for hours/days/weeks. But maybe those one-liners aren't as zingy as they thought.

One particular stand-up comedian limits replies on practically all their posts, and I could only conclude they wanted the likes but viewed replies as heckling. For people like that, this place is a stage, not a bar.

"Don't enquire about my well being you duplicitous charlatan"

They're all just disingenuous fuckwits.

Maybe for balance, it could say "Black Lives Don't Matter" on the back?
