Opinion | We are understandably fixated on faithless men, male violence, propaganda disseminated by hard men influencers and on rape and murder statistics. All that is real and disturbing. But it’s only part of the story

“You know what the difference is.”

Here’s the source for the Farage quote that Yasmin Alibhai Brown @yasminalibhaibrown.bsky.social mentioned… on why his German wife was different to a hypothetical Romanian neighbour.

🚨 Just a reminder, this was *The Sun* calling out his racism.

Gary Lineker gets his biggest cheer of the night by far from the audience for saying his award was for "speaking up for those who have no voice"

We know why Gary won.

I couldn’t agree more @yasminalibhaibrown.bsky.social. I so wish the media spent as much time and energy reporting about the general public who aren’t racist and/or fascists. I’d like to think we’re still in the majority.

Interesting new Reform policy of Kindertransport in reverse: take children from a place of safety and send them back towards tyranny and despotism.

They're all heart.

A reminder: Asylum seekers are in hotels because of a huge application backlog that the gov't must work through. Robert Jenrick - now, bursting with creative solutions - processed applications slowly ***on purpose*** as a deterrent.

Here he is, as Immigration Minister two years ago, saying so. ~AA

Migrants can't answer back.

They have no voice.

So they make the perfect scapegoat for the pent-up rage of the angry, self-loathing far right who can unite around this issue.

In addition it gives the media something to write about in the long summer recess.

That is what is really going on here.

Well worth reading (and reposting) here... on how easy it is to become a racist.

"It’s become the respectable face of the same, tired old bigotry.

A linguistic get-out-of-jail-free card. Prejudice pretending to be civic duty, hoping no one notices the smell."
