Centre left. Awake to systemic injustice. Pro Europe. Dyslexic (their/ they’re/ there will be typos) Will occasionally post about the Arsenal (unless we win in which case, will mostly post about the Arsenal)
The liberal left, and I included myself are being such idiots at the moment. Example after example of clear racism coming from the top of British politics and we just pat ourselves on the back for identifying hypocrisy. We're not being clever. They know. Unless we fight it head on we lose.

Would anyone be interested in starting a no kings movement in the UK? A lot of the corrupt stuff we gasp at when Trump does it we accept as god's will when the Windsor's do it. FFS we make our sports people sing a song about how great the king is. How Trumpien is that?

Leaving aside the bat shit craziness, this is unacceptably violent language. If a left wing writer talked about opposition figures "walking into a hail of machine gun fire" and inviting them to "heed my warning before things get bloody" there would be outrage. He's a former PM FFS!!!
The worst, most dishonest prime minister we’ve ever had, rocks back and forth in his Daily Mail cubbyhole spewing out idiotic bilge to kid himself that he and his disastrous Brexit weren’t an almighty national fuck-up.
A deeply pathetic threat from an abject failure of a man.

The Covid Inquiry - like those who retrospectively look back on Trump, Brexit - has found that left leaning concerns that were ignored/derided at the time, were indeed legitimate.
When will the public stop listening to the habitually wrong but over confident right wingers?

Labour are basing their new asylum policy on lies. I cannot support this.
The Home Secretary says "we have become the destination of choice in Europe, clearly visible to every people smuggler and would-be illegal migrant across the world"
That is a factually untrue claim: the Home Office shows that the UK is fifth, getting 1/10 claims, while Germany gets 1/5 claims

Every time I hear a politician say that an issue is “dividing” this country they always then come down on the side of the right wing view of it. Just once I’d love to hear someone say “this issue is divisive, which is why I’m making the argument that kindness and compassion is important”

Appeasing the far-right gives the broader public the impression that their narrative is true. There is no way to stem support for Reform by endorsing their policies. Either you are fighting against them or you are, regardless of how you see yourself, fighting for them.
