It’s good — essential even — to marginalize wrong and bad ideas. The way we get out of this is by pointing out how stupid and evil these inbred troglodytes are, not by feeding their ass-backwards superiority complex.

The racist pogroms in the UK are going to produce even more calls for compromise and understanding with the racists’ “reasonable concerns” but that is exactly what got us here.

in a better world getting caught doing something like this would be an automatic firing & permanent blacklist offense

A class at my kids’ school put up little statements about the good they want to do in the world and I was over the moon about this one - then I learned they meant to say “teach people in jail” which is also good!

So can we fucking opt out then??

it’s not necessarily that all these people in the epstein files participated in the raping of girls it’s that none of them cared and if he hadn’t been arrested and died they’d still be out there trying to be his friend

now, it might seem odd that political commentators who advocated for the uk to leave the eu because of their belief in “the nation state” to be supportive of america’s annexation of venezuela, but what you have to remember is that those people didn’t actually think that, they were lying for money

There is absolutely nothing left to the UK but bigotry and spite. A hateful place, you can almost taste it in the air, makes it hard to breathe.

God it's so cool that so much of British and European nationalist politics has broadly been shaped by warehouse clickfarms rented by guys in South Asia running "how to make money from racist old people" workshops, and that this has had more influence on media and politics than any grassroots group

"X shouldn't be political." OK but it is. Now what?

I genuinely think sometimes rather than explaining or arguing these totally made up controversies people should just be shamed for pretending not to know basic information about the world

One of my least rational beliefs is that if you pull off a heist without hurting anyone or getting caught within a day, that's your stuff fair and square.

I do not want to enable location services. I do not want to create an account. I do not want to sign up for special offers and news about your product. I would like to engage in a simple transaction where I give you money in exchange for a good.

Jo Cox was murdered by a man with a house full of neo-Nazi agitprop and this was then retconned into a vague narrative about social media abuse

Amazing how such small numbers have been identified as the voice of the nation when, for comparison, 100,000 turned out for trans pride last month in London.

Just taking my birth certificate with me on the big shop in case I need a piss in the Asda customer toilet and the toilet bouncer doesn't like the shape of my skull

Keir Starmer's statement today on how the forced mass starvation of children in Gaza is unspeakable and indefensible would certainly be a powerful one if he wasn't one of the people who made it possible

Among the many oddities is this paragraph. If you try and “share a joke” with a stranger at a bus stop, then *you* are the person who has failed to even remotely integrate into London life. It’s the first rule anyone learns.
