Do you know any of this baying, woke mob asking for the spiritual to be cancelled?
Or is just a delusional fantasy cooked up in Tory HQ to divert everybody’s attention?
It’s easy for the establishment to demonise a bunch of disenfranchised working class white men, whip them into a frenzy and distance themselves from the spectacle
The truth is racism always filters down from the top.
Covid-19 doesn’t specifically attack black and brown ppl, it’s victims in Spain and Italy were overwhelmingly white.
Uncomfortable truth:
Being black in a racist society counts as a major underlying health risk.
Watching Mone flagrantly chatting shit this morning, it occurs to me the first casualty of overdosing on money and nepotism might be self awareness.

Hi

please could not misrepresent my words and deliberately take them out of context.
In the wake of so many disgruntled black people taking to the airwaves.
Perhaps you could take the opportunity to do some journalism and ask me for a comment
Benjamin Zephaniah was a huge role model, compassionate brother and a constant reminder that you can forge your own lane and still be deeply loved.
Thank you for all the gems you’ve given me.

No surprise the BBC is widely reporting Corbyn saying, ‘I was right’ which sounds completely insensitive.

If you wake up with vehement hatred in your heart for someone you don’t know - they reflect back something you hate about yourself.
Corbyn reminds them of that gaping void where their human soul should exist. Continuing to expose our vapid political class without saying a word

interview Shapps about renationalising railways and not once has asked.. “how is all this paid for? What about billions in cost to the tax payer?”
All the Tory attack points since 2017 have strangely evaporated
Really proves how vacuous and servile our media is
In some ways having Corbyn as PM would have lulled us into a false sense of security - thinking we can transform society with one man. If what characterises his politics is a people led movement, it's up to us to continue his work.

Just a crazy thought.. what if Brexit was just some sort of massive distraction to prevent a left wing Labour government, polarise society and keep the gravy train rolling?? 🤔
Stop and search doesn’t “disproportionately effect” black people… it was created to terrorise and intimidate us.
It’s 40 years of state harassment, not type 2 diabetes.

The last time ‘we’ had an ‘expansive’ vision of Englishness.. evil pillocks were riding about on horseback kidnapping my ancestors and committing genocide.
Maybe read the Bible instead of desperately trying to fuel a culture war
48 hrs later, thousands of white people I’ve never met are still telling me what happened to me didn’t actually happen... ‘I’m the racist’ for talking abt 😯
I couldn’t imagine being so exercised by subjects I knew nothing abt.
Racism qualifies as a mental illness
‘It never happened’ ‘Bullshit’
‘He never had a 1st class ticket’

Waiting for an eminent angry white person to tell me I’ve imagined myself, and my respiratory organs are merely a product of my racist imagination

issued a ‘lifetime ban’ and called me a ‘cyber bully’ for daring to tell everyone about their targeted racially motivated harassment.
They then threatened legal action and fines.
No one at Ryanair has ever called to ask me what happened.
I’m not intimidated.
How is this any different to racist ‘artwork’ produced by the Nazi’s in the 1930s?
Dehumanising depictions of ‘the enemy within’
Exacerbates white European paranoia
Inverts the truth of recent Western behaviour in the Middle East
