BadEnoch thinks if she outracists the racists they’ll accept her.
MAGA / Brexit / Reform / Tory racists will never accept her.
She’s just humiliating herself.
Starting with her.
Very China-esque, too - but less menacing per se.
It's the latest "nationalist" incarnation.
Interesting that she's attached herself to that mast, worrying too: is that she doesn't know the implications, or that she does?
She’s right. Let’s ban immigration from Nigeria and deport anyone of Nigerian descent.
What was it that happened to her in childhood or early adult life that made her such a nasty, wealth and power loving, ordinary people hating, European hating, UK hating, person?
Where, or with whom, does her loyalty lie?
Because it is NOT ordinary British people!
Cash … money …
I like to think of politicians as Pratchetts small gods, they’re always bumping around trying to get people to believe in them, always popping into existence willy nilly. Garden and town gods are fine, but country sized are ravenous for belief and power.
✅ Good: Western civilisation, Donald Trump, populism (sometimes), Michaela Community School
❌ Bad: “Leftwing progressivism”, DEI, climate activism, the ECHR, Keir Starmer, “taking the knee”, BLM, mass migration, “some cultures”, net zero, “media class”
She won’t be able to do the damage now, but someone will come along and pick up that message and be successful.
Snuff it out now.

eg. Anglo-Nigerians allying with the racist far-right??
It could be yours.
2 - does she think this shit is going to get her elected in the UK? No-one gives a shit.
Perhaps Badenoch could concentrate on some proper politics like that instead of meaningless nonsense?
Boris was also three PMs ago. You can imagine the rest
2. Again, yes - the BBC especially has taken a big nosedive, mostly 'cos the Board is made up of Tories who are *very* bitter that they lost the election. They are also partly responsible for question 1.
3. Not ended, but decimated by the Tories.
PS: Labour isn't much better.
They hate most of the stuff he say regarding back folks as well but as long as he’s sticking it to the Jewish community and the system, they are fine with him
Or they do know but they pick and choose
Cause for them at the end of the day the Jews are the cause for the downfall of civilization
Strikes again
Don't polls mean anything to her
