This is white people doing white people shit. Y'all had picnics under our hanging bodies but sure ok. It's like the Taliban.

The Unherd article states “the rise of mixed race britain will change the way we think about race” - I disagree. Those who present as white will be white unless they let it slip or have an ethnic surname. Those of us who don’t will still be on Reform’s potential deportation list. Same as it ever was

Quite possibly.

Though this is beyond the pale:

'Watson told the podcast he would work with a Reform UK government on immigration crackdowns if the situation arose, saying: “We don’t actually work in that sector, but yes, of course we would.”'

Fuck sake.

Dear tv and radio producers. Thankyou for the invitation. But, no, I do not want to appear on your show to defend the idea that I am English, after 50 years of living and working here, because the increasingly feral right want to turn this into a "debate" and you cannot see how you're being played

Robert Jenrick is a disgusting odious dirty racist and the fact he was allowed to rise in the Tory party says much about their far right party today.

Every positive reaction is now offset by a negative reaction. In the past a positive reaction (buying a DVD say) wasn’t offset by people UNbuying a DVD. You just saw an appreciative audience. The people you didn’t make your film for didn’t register in your dataset.

Watson is a well-paid lobbyist for a company whose founder has said he does not believe in democracy, whose global CEO published a fascist manifesto and whose UK CEO was hired, in part, because he's the grandson of Britain's most notorious fascist. But sure, opposing Palantir is mob rule.

I watched a student nearly drop out due to unmedicated ADHD, and then return following diagnosis and medication. She completed a fantastic, award-winning dissertation on her return - one of the best I have supervised at Plymouth. She always had the ability, just needed her ADHD under control.
I don’t know a lot about ADHD but i do know a young guy who struggled a lot and might not have finished university who got diagnosed and treated, then did extremely well, and now makes a boatload of money at a good job I thought "getting people into work" was labour's whole thing

“An AI tool used to speed up the processing of thousands of asylum cases is failing basic accuracy tests…”

The idea that synthetic text generating “AI” can be a useful aid in determining refugee status is ridiculous.

We should challenge the automation of decision-making and erosion of our rights.

As an adult diagnosee, whose personal, academic and professional life has been significantly impacted because it was not recognised earlier, I would like to say a loud and hearty "Fuck you" to that odious little shit of a health secretary.
Pleased to announce that ADHD is being overdiagnosed again according to the BBC and pathetic skidmark Wes Streeting, so now - during ADHD Awareness Month no less - it's time to give it up and just be normal. Let it go. Just turn it off and get on with things www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

And no, they do not love their mixed-race children enough to abandon white supremacy. They will do what their forefathers did, which is set their children up as an elite caste to rule over the group their wife belongs to.
