isn't it funny how many of the MPs that make up political parties have degrees in the 'rip off' subjects they always want to stop us from taking?

the tories will not abolish stamp duty lol. this country would collapse. it needs more reform but property taxes are so important for tax revenue. as for shrinking the civil service, please note that the civil service grew since Brexit because 80,000+ people had to be hired to deliver brexit lol

The Killing of Sister Gore-ge @deliaisnthappy.bsky.social · 6h

I always point this out - the 1970s series The Comedians, featured 3 black comedians, Jos White, Sammy Thomas, Charlie Williams, all born and raised in Britain in the late 20s/early 30s, well before the Windrush.
Kenny Lynch - born in Stepney in 1938 (he's basically the kid from Blitz).

Imagine decimating the very idea of community by strangling local authorities, then blaming civil decline on the very people who are responsible for keeping those communities alive. Those people were out in their high street. Supporting businesses that cater their needs

You know who doesn't integrate? People like Robert Jenrick. You think he works out at the local leisure centre? Goes to the Tuesday night pub quiz? You think his golf club lets anyone play? Or his private members' clubs let anyone in? He puts the ick in prick

He's so distant from us, he thinks the presence of Black and brown ppl is remarkable. Lol we've been here for 70 years. We're 3 generations in 🤣 The argument is so easy to win. But no. We have up listen to their "concerns" and pretend they are not racism in camouflage

I keep getting adverts for meal prep services but to me they just look like Meals on Wheels, but funded by venture capital, not the local council

"i don't like seeing people who look different to me"

well that makes no sense cos you look like the visual representation of the word 'tedious'. if i was you I would want everyone to look different. these 'i want my country backers' are the absolute worst. I have had enough of them. honestly

Zippity zap!

What I appreciated about Peacemaker too, is that on the episode discussion, Danielle Brooks and James Gunn talked about how Gunn sent the scripts over to Brooks and gave her the opportunity to change anything about those scenes, making it clear he would have if she felt uncomfortable.

If British values are about tolerance shouldn't Oluwafeyikemi have word with Jenrick for being intolerant of all the non white people he saw on his little census walk?

"integration" and "Multiculturalism" are words that have virtually no meaning with regards to immigration.

In my family alone, my parents, my brother, me, and my grandpa have different beliefs and don't agree with each other on many things yet get along.

It is the same across the country.

Athena Kugblenu @athenakugblenu.bsky.social · 20h

It's so ludicrous to look at a community and think its not "integrated" because it exists visibly. It's even more stupid for this nonsense to be regurgitated in the media as if it doesn't defy logic
