Even if "white British" will be a minority in the UK in 40 years - so what? Seriously, so what? What is so terrible about that? Make people spell out their horrors. Make them spell out the things they are supposedly not allowed to say. Make them own it.

My “you’re over 30” advice is hold onto the bannister. Stairs will kill you and not even look back

One of my friends has received racist and sexist harassment for her entire career. Her entire career. In every single workplace. She is outstanding at her job, and her peers know it. She is employed because she is one of the best at what she does and they resent that. That's the sadism in all this.

Enough of this racist fiction. Enough. Not a single non-white person in England is in a job in the NHS *because* they are non-white. Not a single one. And as for the idea that England's criminal justice system goes easy on non-white people because they are non-white. Well. Just think about that.

"Keep Our NHS Public" was at the forefront of saving my hospital over a decade ago and has been the leading campaign against privatisation and underfunding of the NHS for 20 years. www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/20th-anniv... Any donation towards their efforts is welcome. youtu.be/FYxLQABN6Yw?...

🚨 An urgent message from us: Healthcare workers across the UK are under immense strain. We've advocated tirelessly for a publicly funded NHS for 20 years. Our continued work depends on this emergency appeal. Please donate here 👇🙏💙 www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/20th-anniv... youtu.be/FYxLQABN6Yw?...

This is what it's like to live in a racist society. If the perpetrator is white, they're just some lone madman whose actions have no political implication. If they're an immigrant - in particular a dark-skinned Muslim immigrant - they represent their group and are part of a political attack.

Starmer should invite Farage to tour a NHS ward in central London to see how much he connects with working people.

If I scoff at malaria experts who say “if we do that, loads of people will get malaria” and nine years later I say “oh well we did that and it looks as if loads of people got malaria” I don’t think that’s good enough. I think that the energy of the apology needs to match the energy of the contempt.

There’s nothing like a government that knows what it’s doing, and this is nothing like a government that knows what it’s doing. www.ft.com/content/0a39...

What immigrants from all over the world have done for this country is tremendous. “Incalculable”, even. 🇬🇧♥️🌎

Incredibly depressing day. I've spent my entire life being told by British governments how dreadful immigration is. New Labour did it. The Coalition. The Brexiters. Now Starmer. All of them accusing the ones who came before them of failing to clamp down. The same old vacant mean-spirited bollocks.

Embarking on a "Mission Impossible" marathon this week. Despite obvious features dating it (like floppy discs and phone boxes), M.I.1 holds up really well.

Everybody is going to be so sad when they watch PSG v Arsenal tomorrow and compare it to this.

Trump announces 100% tariffs on movies ‘produced in foreign lands’ A moronic attempt at hurting the Hollywood stars who opposed him perhaps? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Yup, that’s right. Chase Reform. Legitimise them. Punch down. Brag about cruelty. Abandon values. Lose elections to Reform. Rinse. Repeat. 🙄

This is exactly the political strategy that just helped to deliver the Conservatives the biggest collapse in support of any party in British electoral history

You're walking along, getting on with your life... ..and then you learn of another thing Trump has done, that makes you want to vomit with rage. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Ten men have been sentenced at Liverpool Crown Court for grooming and sexually exploiting girls in Greater Manchester. Guess who’s not talking about this? The usual suspects. It’s dangerous to remain silent about some, and over report others. Source: www.cps.gov.uk/north-west/n...

BREAKING: Ten Christian men of Anglo-Saxon heritage jailed for grooming and sexually exploiting girls. Community leaders expressed concern about the radicalisation of young white men in post-industrial towns. “We need to ask tough questions about cultural values in middle England,” said one expert.

Saka right now... #Arsenal

If you put any form of trust in Trump, on any issue whatsoever... ...you get exactly what you deserve.

Tune in to Amazon Prime only to see them showing an old replay on Man Utd beating us in the CL semifinal... Tune in to TalkSh*te only to hear them empathising with a PSG-supporting European pundit.. The hate is real; hope they all choke on it. #Arsenal

Only just occurred to me that Arsenal have played the reigning champions from six of Europe's seven biggest leagues this season. PSG: 2-0 win Inter: 0-1 defeat Sporting Lisbon: 5-1 win PSV: 9-3 win (on agg) Real Madrid: 5-1 win (on agg) + two PL encounters with Man City (2-2 draw + 5-0 win)

#Arsenal on top at the Emirates with 2 open play goals, meanwhile on the BBC Sport site... It's amazing what people, who clearly know nothing about the team, can come out with...

The sad truth is, if the United States had only deported another German back in 1885, we wouldn't be in this mess now. www.ibtimes.co.uk/shocking-rea...
