I don’t think he’s saying that it justifies purging. I think he’s more saying that it’s a bit rich citing racial identity as the motivating factor here when it’s actually the people at the centre of it who have demonstrably been more than a bit iffy by publicly joking that ethnic minorities who aren...

Evolving language will always tend towards being circular. The more important thing is to use language honestly and meaningfully. When you’ve worked in the public sector for long enough to realise just how many hours are spent thrashing out whether the people what come through the doors are clients,...

"Women of colour" It's going to be full-on identitarian bingo, isn't it? https://x.com/OwenJones84/status/1795942771238265187?t=vpn9xuUpismW0ZImEcSksw&s=19 Excuse my ignorance - what is the issue with OJ using the phrase 'women of colour'? The issue is that it’s a perfect example of h...

Thanks for the essay but I have no idea what its relevance is to my post Well many of the ''weirdo's'' who vote for him seem to very much like the idea of having a right wing Dictator as President. Surprising how many extreme right wing Americans admire Putin, how bizarre is that. So Trump ticks al...

Won’t make a difference to his core support; could potentially significantly impact those weirdos who could go either way

Ah yes, I remember at the time all the lefties were saying “let’s not deselect the those we believe shouldn’t be in labour, that’d be a c***’s trick” How many MPs did Corbyn de-select? I've lost count of how many Kier is up to. Is it double figures yet? Eh? I wasn’t talking about how many were dese...

I don’t call it rap - I call it…. Crap!

The idea that new music is equivalent to the discarded skip outside Tesco says quite a lot about you.

Rev, to the rescue of men saying rap isn’t proper music.

Always picking the worst possible battles

I’ve no doubt there’s some cynical stuff going on.

Spend on transfer fees is almost useless as a barometer now.

what an astute comment

I’d be wary of being too supportive of him. I think it’s very likely that what he’s been accused of is extremely serious. The timing may well be convenient for his political opponents, but let’s see how this plays out

In this instance, not writing the letter would have been far better for everyone concerned, though obviously Caca can’t resist phrasing it in the noble, diplomatic way, with the knack of fostering respectful discourse that Reverend so admires

Looking forward to the day you make a genuine attempt at a point. Though I’m comforted that you’re self aware enough about how bad you are at doing so that you’ve adopted vaguely plausible deniability into every assertion you make on any subject

It’s a parody account mate

I’d posit the notion that it’s probably unlikely that a white Jewish woman would accidentally say that Jews don’t experience racism in a letter she accidentally wrote to a Sunday broadsheet

Good to see Max putting another nonsensical post up for fact checking

My guess, the timeline is something like this Investigation concludes, the findings aren’t really great for either party - she’s not totally exonerated, neither are her actions terrible enough to justify the sanctions Labour would like to impose. After the investigation concluded, perhaps Abbott was...

Not just taped but taped on betamax?

Another piece of art screwed up. Never mind there's always next time.

Every artwork is a failure. The trick is to fail better

It has that evergreen bit of message board brilliance of “well if two people think I’m a willy, they must be the same person”
