I see people including mainstream politicians/players now moving to, well, basically, ‘we don’t like brown people’ line. Which used to be the literal definition of racism and now is just ‘LeGitiMaTe CoNceRns’. It’s been a slow but steady march. Where does it go from here then… fucking shameful.

Remember, we were always shouted down for suggesting Brexit was about racism.

The actual regime that these people are hankering after is Dubai: a small elite of citizens, most immigrants to be transient, insecure and all immigrants to be second-class. In reality they would hate the world they would create and would find ever-more ridiculous scapegoats for their failure.

It’s crazy. Me and Matt are investigating ways of maintaining old floors and stained glass original to our little house and he is destroying one of the most famous buildings in the world. Why the USA gives its president so much authority should be a warning to all democracies!

Hahaha literally . It shows such a disrespect for history and for the country. I can’t believe he is allowed to do that.

I mean yes, it is a metaphor, but for anyone who cares about history or preservation, this is an absolute horror show. You wouldn’t do this to any historical building. It’s classless. There should be rules in place to stop presidents from doing this. Imagine a PM knocking down half of Downing St.

Wake up, babe, the least subtle visual metaphor in history just dropped

I’d love them to do something a bit more substantial on the tower grounds to remember this place. A grass mound doesn’t do it justice.

Well, yes, but I mean in terms of coverage and outrage. He has desensitised the world so much that murdering people has just become part of the noise. It’s horrific, isn’t it?

You may be living in an absolutely racist country when 13-year-old Black boys are tried and sentenced as adults, but white dudes who *are* adults are called "kids" by JD Vance to shield them from culpability.

The problem is you need to use one of the evil tech companies it’s just which one is less evil . I’m still of the opinion it’s Apple on balance but they are also evil. See banning ICE app for reference.

Cancel SPOTIFY.

They are running ICE ads.

F them.

Is Spotify running ICE recruitment ads? Here are the facts

The advertising "is part of a broad campaign the US government is running" across various platforms — not just Spotify, a spokesperson told Snopes.

Having a whole load of messy work done downstairs next week, so we have had to decamp and set up a little den upstairs in the gaming room. It’s quite cozy and cute. I’m trying to relearn #X4Foundations again, btw 😭 (7th attempt. )

Why a democratic country wants to give their leaders this unchecked power is beyond most of us in the rest of the democratic world.
