Most of what passes for 'racism' today is pure brain washing. Here are two statements: Black and proud. One is socially accepted and promoted and the other is constantly portrayed as sinister......pure brain washing. The word 'racist' is now rarely anything other than weaponised language used by the left or neo liberal to close down debate or demonise their opponents as socially unacceptable. Yet often the people using the word have their own racial preferences or class preferences. They simply promote one form of preference over others and don't think about it and as most people are a bit dim or time/interest poor they get away with it. It's all bulls***......what matters far more in society is the pursuit of truth via reason and honesty. Within modern day society these ideas are losing power to the changeable nature of what passes for social acceptability.

Rather like that that other deep thinker, D. Abbott, who when asked why wearing a Nazi uniform to a party is worthy of criticism but a Mao uniform isn’t replied because people thought that, on balance, Mao did more good than harm. Apart from the tens of millions he had murdered of course.

She simply isn't there on merit.

I think Westminster is completely unrepresentative of the demographic but mainly from public school educated toffs born into privilege. Apart from a posh accent how much of their position of power 'merited'?

Of course we can highlight issues but Europe and the anglosphere have the highest living standards for the working classes in the world. The intellectual power houses from the working class have far more chance of breaking through and making something of themselves from within these societies than elsewhere.

Immigration from the third world is just men , men , and more men. Look at the demographics of all the couple's on your high street. You do the maths. Not very balanced , is it ?

Looking at the jobs of the fathers of the current cabinet there are three teachers, a clergyman, a trade union official, a milkman, a bus driver, a local Government officer and a welder.

In 50 years we will be remarking on the father's of the cabinet not by job-title but by country of origin. The mothers are all likely to be British.

The English.....so tolerant and scared of words that they gave their own country away. What couldn't be achieved by force was instead achieved by a weird form of civilised misplaced embarrassment.

What was a good feature has become a weakness but what would you expect from a nation in which a person could accidentally tread on a dogs paw and then effusively apologise to the animal.
