Racists dislike being called racist so much, they will try to silence the people calling them - completely accurately - racists.
Which does at least suggest that Farage and the other racist leaders of the racist Reform Ltd understand that most British people are not, in fact, racists themselves.

"We grant people different rights based on their genetic heritage and on which scrap of land they happened to be born on. That’s mad, isn’t it?"
I just think, when debating immigration and so on, that we should try not to lose sight of the fact that "nationality" is a made up thing.

Why does nationality matter, anyway?
Deciding someone's legal rights based on a nebulous combination of birthplace and parentage is a bit weird

Nothing as feminist as basing whether women can use the toilets on if they're hot or not.
The EHRC want to exclude women from femal single-sex spaces based on how "female" they look.
This is off the scale sexism and misogyny.
Millions of women will face harassment as result of this insanity.

I see otherwise sensible people getting lost in the conspiracyballs with Epstein. The ruling class are not chessmasters or Eyes Wide Shut style decadent cultists. They're shambolic, grubby, foolish people, blinded by greed, privilege, and hubris. Same with states and intelligence services.
