How long before one of these is the murder weapon in a political assassination?

🌏🇬🇧"We only won the First World War and the Second World War because we were joined in those wars by millions of black and Asian people from around the world."

A powerful reminder from 2009 of Britain's historical debt to protecting a multicultural society. United we stand.

Sometimes I feel bad about the Wales rugby situation, and then a fan pops up and reminds me what a hateful bunch they can be

President Trump criticises France and others for celebrating remembrance day, saying, "We're the one that won the wars"

Asylum seekers, housed in hotels in Manchester, are reaching out in their own words to address the concerns of the local community.

Please take a minute to read their letter, & share it with the people in your life who need to hear the truth about the people they are protesting.

All to avoid the shame of acknowledging the horrible, psychologically troubling truth. Labour has for a long time been a party of the PMC, by the PMC, for the PMC. It’s just, here’s the thing about the PMC. They are the electoral majority. And they are how Labour won, will win, and can only win. n/n
