Okay, so, what I’m reading here is that racism is completely fine - as long as it’s done in a non-malicious way.
Notwithstanding the fact that racism is in and of itself filled with malice.
That’s the nature of racism.
For fuck’s sake.

‘Brexit isn’t in the past. It is present in every overstretched council budget, every cancelled infrastructure project, every school without enough teachers, every struggling business wondering how to cope with higher costs and lower demand.’
Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances.
A new decade-long Brexit study explains it:
a 6–8% hit to GDP – that's £180bn-£240bn a year – means less tax, less investment and less money for everything else.
Brexit made Britain poorer. Much poorer.

😭 gosh. This is a terrible statistic, never let us forget how bad the Tories were.
Bringing in lockdown a week earlier on 16 March would have meant 23,000 fewer deaths in England in the first wave, modelling suggests. This would have equated to 48% fewer deaths in the first wave.
