If you were personally not racist but you ran a party that contained this level of racism, you'd resign on the basis you had somehow ended up organising racists into a serious campaigning force, which had never been your intention.

On the other hand, if you *are* a racist...
"More than a third (37%) of Reform UK voters said they would be prouder of Britain if there were fewer people from minority ethnic backgrounds in a decade’s time, and 10% [compared to 3% overall] said it was important to have white skin to be a good British citizen."
Number of people who say Britons must be born in UK is rising, study shows

Open up this picture fully.

Then look at the surface of Mars.

Then look up to the top right.

Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky.

Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos.

That's Earth.

Measles is something everyone got when I was a kid. It took weeks to recover, and often left lasting side effects. It harmed my eyesight.

For real. Plus, I always make a point of saying “please” and “thank you” to Alexa. Doesn’t hurt to start sucking up early. 😊

Sometimes I recall that my great grandpa was an egg-candler. Held eggs in front of candles to check yolks

Brought double yolks to his family

And I’m a college professor

And I think: the US, land of immigrants, land of hope

It takes a nanosecond to see how out of step this regime is w/that truth

Italian immigrant communities into America in the early 1900s were subjected to the most appalling degrees of racism and bigotry and it led to the USA actively moving to stop migration from Italy in a series of acts including the Emergency Quota Act (1921) and the restrictive Immigration Act (1924)

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that anyone in possession of good sense, must be in want of a fascinating DAG blog post on Austen's writing about law
NEW

Jane Austen as a writer about law

Some notes on Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice, by me

(And also why there is only one good adaptation of her works.)

This makes a lot of sense.

Foreign interventions being used to trigger domestic legal powers.
I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along
There is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important. I'm not even sure wag the dog is the right metaphor for what's happening here. Seems like an insane misallocation of US national security assets and attention.

Watching Foyle’s War again, the 1946 episodes now. The Mosley analogue rants about Making Britain Great Again, as the real Mosley did and as fascists through the ages do.

His opportunism is bad enough.

But never forget that this is the same Nigel Farage who allegedly made hissing noises and whispered "Hitler was right" to a Jewish contemporary at school.

Things he has NEVER apologised for.

Simon Heffer's most famous work is a fairly gushing biography of Enoch Powell.

I'm opposed to the House of Lords on principle but don't understand how any of these people qualify
Lib Dems announce 5 peers including ex-MP Sarah Teather, Tories announce 3 including Olympic swimmer/ women's rights activist Sharon Davies, historian Simon Heffer and former cabinet minister John Redwood. Reform UK don't get any.

How far should teenage Farage’s behaviour influence public views of his credentials today as a political leader? That can be the subject of reasonable debate. What is no longer in serious doubt is the credibility of the allegations.
