Wouldn't it be tragic if her and Farage both ended up suffocating because they forgot the safe word?

They pay the same tax as petrol cars already. This pay per mile tax is an extra tax on top of the vehicle tax.
A petrol Qashqai and electric Peugeot 208 weigh about the same.
Road tax was abolished before the war.
Anything else you want me to clarify?

I've married into an Irish family so I'm aware of how badly the English treated the Irish. That part of history has been glossed over, even calling it 'The Troubles' is downplaying what was (is?) essentially a civil war.
Again though, it's white English men who are to blame, regardless of class.

All of the working class have been oppressed by the upper tiers, not just whites.

Unfortunately, the signs "No Irish. No Blacks. No Dogs" were predominantly written by white working class men, so whether you like it or not, the betrayal has predominantly been by white people regardless of class.

Yeah it was disgraceful how the victims were treated. I don't disagree with that point at all. But they aren't the only victims who haven't been believed, and sadly won't be the last - regardless of the race of the victim.

Now, DEI and civil service internships, and how this relates?
August 1, 2025 at 1:21 PM
I worry about all of them - I have two kids. But if you want to focus on the race of these arseholes, then you be you. Is that OK(KK) with you?

And what has it to do with DEI and civil service internships?
August 1, 2025 at 1:14 PM
… what has this got to do with DEI and this announcement of Civil Service internships?
August 1, 2025 at 1:11 PM
Oh so it's just street grooming you care about. Ok then. I'm so glad that those victims matter more than the thous of others who are groomed online or via other methods! And if Asian men are disproportionately involved in that, then white men are disproportionately involved in the rest.

But…
August 1, 2025 at 1:10 PM
So you're entire thought process of who should be the beneficiaries of any DEI assistance is based on the illegal acts of a hundred or so men? Even though it's estimated that 85% of the members of "grooming gangs" in the UK are white?

I think I'll stay the fuck here, if you don't mind.
August 1, 2025 at 12:48 PM
Yeah… because minority groups are quite famously from the middle and upper classes!

Straight white working class people have had preferential treatment over minority groups for eternity. Upper classes have had preferential treatment over everyone!

You don't want Diversity, Equality, and Inclusivity to be diverse, equal or inclusive, and you'd rather have it be for the benefit of the category you fall in to?

The thing with villains is that they always believe they're the hero. Plus, Optimus Prime had a trailer that he could store his coke in!

Yet another false alarm - it was Pete Hegseth talking about his toy Optimus Prime, his absolute bestest, most favourite Transformer!

Is Rob Moore being a Tory a form nominative determinism?

I'm sorry you have to keep facing this kind of behaviour from the knuckle-dragging degenerate, Sunder. Keep on fighting this, the law is on your side so you'll win in the end.

Also, if you can somehow get the racist deported to somewhere like Belarus as well, that would be ace 👍🏻

Estimates are that ~3000 Muslim women wear them in the UK. I doubt she's seen many in real life, let alone had someone wearing one to a surgery!

It's confusing for people like Philp. Australia are part of Eurovision after all!

If the parents are paying for school meals then it does work out at ~£500 a year savings. If the kids currently have packed lunches then it would be significantly less, but still a saving for the parents.

Pete, I really don't think he means "all old people are racist and will vote Reform", but rather "the older people who are also racist will vote Reform"
June 3, 2025 at 1:55 PM
Thank you for all the work you and your team have been putting into this.

There are only a handful of politicians - former or current - that would actually stoop this low. Matt Handcock, Nigel "up the RA" Farrage, and (a stretch to call him a politician, I know) Laurence Fox.
