Displacing an entire demographic based on their religious or ethnic group (and based on sweeping generalisations about their ancestry) is bad, actually - regardless of whether or not you like them, or where their ancestors may have been born!

Keep seeing the LBC video of a young person saying Jews in Israel need to be “sent back”

How about we all hold a collective and consistent and sane moral line that we don’t want anyone ethnically cleansed from Israel or Palestine, actually? Because ethnic cleansing is very much not good

32 today and I still got ID’d ordering a bottle of Prosecco last night to celebrate 🥰

Perhaps a decision has been taken at CCHQ that political self-emoliation is now the only way people will pay attention to them?

The issue for the Tories is that while Jenrick’s antics play well for Tory members, a big chunk of Tory voters (namely One Nation types) will find them beyond the pale and will look more to the Lib Dems

Every dogwhistle is another chunk of Tory votes lost, surely CCHQ must know this

*most of them are white (white passing)

Well they’re white (or white passing) so perhaps he’d feel okay? But honestly the logic is so [removed swear word because I’m trying to be good after Yom Kippur] who knows

Being a disabled black Jewish journalist and seeing the state of the discourse in this country is absolutely wonderful by the way in case you were wondering

I’ve just been sent this and it’s genuinely made my jaw drop

Massive kudos to the journalist for maintaining his cool

I really hope editors are there for him right now

This sort of stuff would have my Windrush generation anti-racism campaigning grandad turn in his grave

+/ This entire thing stinks of attention seeking to be quite honest and it just makes me sad that conversations about making Britain the best it can be to live are just derailed and tainted by attempts to make an easy headline

3/3 … “I didn’t see any white people” are deliberately appealing to the blood and soil nationalism we’re seeing rear its head, the idea that not being white is an issue in modern Britain

It’s disgusting and must be rejected

I’m so tired of Birmingham being done dirty by Westminster politicians

2/3 … pandering to the growing nationalist sentiment in this country

I’d love to see Birmingham communities more integrated and I’ve long lamented how different neighbourhoods in Birmingham are so separate and almost feel isolated - I think the city is poorer for it

However, comments like…

1/3 I’m from Birmingham, my mom grew up in Handsworth

It’s a lie to say there’s not an integration issue - there’s Black areas, Asian areas, & white areas where people live separately

I say this as a mixed race Brummie!

However, Jenrick saying “he didn’t see any white people” is a dogwhistle…

Happy birthday to my best friend, confidant, travel buddy, and my guardian angel 💕

I don’t know what I’d do without her and her constant unfailing love and support , and I’m so glad and lucky the universe made her my mom

Love you to infinity and beyond and back again, mom: you’re my universe 💙

Right, I’m actually taking a break now

God bless Diane Morgan.

I’m going to try and take a break from here for a bit for obvious reasons. I’m also going to turn off replies for a bit (for obvious reasons) and watch something funny on the tele.

Thanks again to all the allies 💙

You don’t have my attention, you honestly have my sadness

I will pray for you, and for you to be less hateful because it can’t be a nice way to live

First time I’ve seen a username match what they’re posting, shkoyach

Read some of the comments on the below post

In my heart I know they don’t reflect the majority, but they are contributing to a climate of fear on our streets, universities, NHS, politics, progressive spaces etc

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who cares enough to argue with them

The people that try to kill us. Hope that helps!

Have mixed feelings about this

Can’t have been alone in feeling slightly uncomfortable sometimes going in there after a night out when the staff were making the mayonnaise on a portion of chips look like breasts…

Nonetheless, it was a student favourite

I found they helped my sleep when I started them!
