Just for some context - the house mentioned in my post below cost £4,000 to purchase in 1970.

If it had changed in value by inflation, its price now would be £55,000.

Just saying.

Okay, so, what I’m reading here is that racism is completely fine - as long as it’s done in a non-malicious way.

Notwithstanding the fact that racism is in and of itself filled with malice.

That’s the nature of racism.

For fuck’s sake.

If you read one thing today, make it The Bear’s withering dismantling of Reform UK’s “budget” with the precision of someone who understands numbers… unlike the people who wrote it. A a masterclass in calm annihilation that's ruthlessly savage. 🔥

If the media and politicians continually discriminate against Muslims,people of colour and women, why are we surprised that some police officers wont be influenced by that? A former PM once likened Muslim women to bank robbers, and we have heard the worst language about migrants since Enoch Powell.

This week Nathan Gill, Reform UK’s Leader in Wales will be sentenced for 8 charges of Russian bribes.

Here’s Farage calling him an “honest, decent and honourable man”.

Let’s not forget that whilst he was taking the bribes, Farage was making similar pro-Russian speeches in the European Parliament.

So, Farage, in the same breath, has stated that:

Minimum wage should be cut for young people (currently at £10 an hour - oh the largesse!)

And

Young people earning over £100k a year should get tax cuts.

That tells you just about everything you need to know about where his priorities lie.
