My general re-direction with racist comments here is to bring up Wales/Ireland reclaiming their languages, dual signage etc. Look to Ireland: same coloniser crap employed by the English in a lot of ways when it comes to language. No-one here is hating on Irish being spoken more, eh?

Oh, so much manufactured horror (barely disguised racism) over Surya Bonaly doing it. She was badass.

See also AMI. I just had quote for new car insurance & it was toe curling. Went with another provider. AMI also reclassifying all properties soon & that will impact cover/premiums moving forward. Insurers taking climate change seriously.
