Sometimes wonder if what the UK needs is a thinktank that doesn't do any new research, it just repeats obviously true statements that people try to ignore because they're inconvenient.

Farage had plausible deniability on his claim of never meaning to be hurtful with his racism because he doesn't see the people he targets with it as people, therefore not worthy of the same level of respect.

I endured an English public school. But that’s not the only reason I’m unsurprised about the Farage allegations |
Let’s put aside the schooldays accusations and look, instead, at the Reform leader’s path since then. I think a pretty clear picture of the man emerges, says author and podcaster Musa Okwonga

Reform are so dangerous and this headline doesn’t do it justice. I also think a piece like this should start with the politician‘s core views just to emphasise the urgency.
![the real fight is actually with the progressive left. The flag-waving is, yes, a deliberate hostile response to what Reform sees as “dangerous and transgressive ideas”. These fall under “the panoply we call ‘woke’”, he explains, “a word that trivialises quite a substantial set of ideas that are not to be treated flippantly. Everything from BLM [Black Lives Matter], to trans, to the Palestinian agenda, to DEI [diversity, equity and inclusion] in the workforce, to all the ideas that are undermining traditional associations of family, community and nation. Those ideas are hostile to the inherited understandings of how we belong, and how we relate to each other in society.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5ygvvtokrezoev7nol4wgxjc/bafkreihqr2gwyz5fbwdghaov6gqscud2utw4oexvxlxtm6hlfyt24ubbkq@jpeg)

All these mattresses advertised on daytime telly "made with NASA technology." Is that all they do up there, make mattresses? I don't remember that in Kennedy's speech. "We do these things not because they are easy, but because we want a nice lie down"

Football at all levels has a dangerously insane relationship with its referees, but in non-league it also comes with a chasm between reality and foaming Twitter activists who've never been to a game.
This week's newsletter is on the AFC Rushden & Diamonds v Coventry Sphinx match abandonment.

Rushden & Diamonds match abandonment was the right response from the referee. Non-league deserves a better reaction.
The idiotic opinions of social media meatheads have no bearing on football safeguarding in the real world

I'm sure once they "stop the boats" and inflict a healthy dose of cruelty on asylum seekers plus take their valuables off them then the lads calling her a paki and telling her to go home will stop being racist
"It's asylum seekers' fault I was racially abused..."
In any normal society, this would be a career killer.
