Usual internalised insecurity - look at me I can be whiter than white, despite my brown colour!! Let me be part of your white club! I will even trash my own coloured people to prove how white I can be! 🙈

I so enjoyed @zackpolanski.bsky.social using the phrase "right wing shit rags" - it's about time a politician had the courage to call them what they are.

Can you honestly believe how far down the drain these tabloid culture wars have taken Britain?

Kelvin MacKenzie, a man who has done his share of sowing division in the UK, is being invited to share this ghastly view that being a Muslim in the NHS somehow makes you a sinister presence:

LBC clipped the excellent @mrjamesob.bsky.social call with Jack, from Handsworth, on Jenrick's comments..

but trimmed out BEFORE the key take-away that was offered.

MP Claire Coutinho, whose last boss was Rishi Sunak.
Both of them children of immigrants.

Now her boss is a person of colour who grew up in Nigeria.

But instead of highlighting that all three are proof of the SUCCESS of integration she is talking about a need for token white faces for validation?!

It appears @mrjamesob.bsky.social missed the nuance of what Farage appeared to be saying in that unedited clip from Nick Ferragy's love-in this morning.

Nigel seemed to be suggested that the 'extremists calling for Sharia Law in the UK' are, in fact..

CABBIES!

^ Fascinating how the reaction remains pretty much "aww cute! Bless it!".

Are they even illegal?
Does any police force have a policy on how to approach one?

While the UK and much of its media focuses on Farage & others claiming illegal migrants are an existential threat to us all..
Tech Bros have been priming remote-controlled & autonomous robots that can run + grip an object.

Police can barely tackle illegal e-scooters.
What happens when these appear?
