"Eastern European's are too prejudiced, so that's why it's a mistake to give them jobs."

Like, just saying, the country going to the IMF the year you leave office doesn't scream "Best PM of all time".

So he apologised, and i thought we should lay off him. But he's started again, which means I feel free to point out:

You know he was the /landlord/ of the people he is talking about, which really is just *chefs kiss*
richarddwyer.bsky.social
Yeah I didn't mention that because, yikes.

Good news is that he is still going and talking about how Lithuanians think black people are undesirable.

So you know, another great day on the hell site.

I have questions for the Wilson fans.
richarddwyer.bsky.social
Yes, I suppose the fact that these people know they will likely not get caught makes it an option.
richarddwyer.bsky.social
Fuuuck, glad they are OK.

I'm not surebwhat the policy solution if for the small number of banned drivers who just ignore everything. Like is there a solution that isn't prison?

He looks like he's watching his centre back who's already on a Yellow start arguing with the ref.

In my profile pic, there's a reason we are both wearing black glasses and pink top (or vice vesa).

But it's really easy to (in a world of Spotify) just miss that this genre is so big.

And good!

My wife watched it without me, so no I have to find time on my own.

But it's on the list.

Its bleakly funny how 20 years into this demographic crisis they are trying blue sky thinking like "Maybe we shouldn't make it needlessly physically painful for women?".

I've not watched the film but "How it's done" for example is just a legitimately good song! Tie it into a (by all accounts) good film and yeah no wonder it's a smash hit.

As, like, K-pop as a genre itself really is huge in a way I think a lot of people (men my age and older) just don't get.

*Jon Wick scene where he breaks open his basement to get his assassin stuff, but it's just a colander and a two banana's from 2019*

You'd have thought that if "many Londoner, especially ethnic minority Londonees" thought what he says they thought there would be at least one person agreeing with him by now...
richarddwyer.bsky.social
If only there was some way to get the opinion of ethnic minority Londoners that wasn't via a decade old conversation with their landlord.
richarddwyer.bsky.social
So they many Londoners found EU migration alienating but not in a way that was visible in polls, or election results before or after Brexit?
richarddwyer.bsky.social
I can't decide which way is funnier.
richarddwyer.bsky.social
So they didn't like EU migration but not in a way that was visible in polls, or election results before or after Brexit?
richarddwyer.bsky.social
So I'm sorry, your "Long term Londoners (especially ethnic minority Londoners) didn't like European migration. Really doesn't fly.

London then went on after 2016 to overwhelming vote against the parties delivering brexit.

"When asked how they would vote, regardless of whether they thought they would actually vote, all ethnic minorities were more likely to vote Remain than white respondents"

It can be amazing if done badly though.
Favourite is when the voice actor (15 minutes in to his 1 hour commitment), is operating at an energy level much higher than the narrator (11 hours in 10 to go).

And it ends up sounding like that narrator is taking the piss out of the characters.
